2008 TALENT SEARCH
ECCC & Space Goat Productions host artist Talent Search!
Do you have what it takes to make it in comics? Then start prepping your portfolio, because Space Goat Productions and the Emerald City ComiCon are providing you with a chance to earn your place among the comic book elite with the official 2008 ECCC Talent Search!
Space Goat's talented artists frequently work on high-profile Marvel and DC projects, recently having worked on titles such as Incredible Hercules, Hulk: Aftersmash, Midnighter, Nightwing, Warbound, and What If?, as well as many small press titles. Representatives from Space Goat, along with top editors from around the industry, will be reviewing portfolios during both days of the show.
To prepare your portfolio, please follow these guidelines:
- All artists must present only comic-book samples.
- All artists must bring 8 1/2” x 11” copies of their original comic-book work in a manila envelope with their contact information on each page, along with their portfolio. No originals, nothing oversized, and no electronic copies will be accepted by the reviewer.
- Pencilers, please present only sequential comic-book art. No pin-ups or character sketches.
- Inkers and colorists, please provide side-by-side comparisons of your work with the original pieces.
- Letterers, please include a wide range of fonts and sound effects in your samples. If you also design logos, please bring those samples with you.
Space Goat Productions' President Shon C. Bury says, "We are looking for the best of the best to start working immediately on projects all around the industry. We’re so dedicated to this search that we’ll be holding portfolio reviews both days of the two-day show, all day long. We look forward to finding new talent during this two-day portfolio review and talent search, and top talent will be given the opportunity to be represented by the industry’s top talent agency."
The ECCC Talent Search will be taking place in Room 401 during the show. Here is the schedule for specific portfolio reviews:
