Wanted: Stick Figure Artist (Seriously)

I've been brainstorming ways to up my Top Webcomics rank, and I think I've hit upon a rather novel idea - a comic within a comic. Essentially, I'd like to do very short, very simple stick figure comics featuring the Supervillainous cast with one-off jokes. The bodies would be stick figures, and faces would be simplified in a round head. Minimal color. No backgrounds. There would be a separate archive to collect these strips. A new one goes up each week. It seems simple enough, but I honestly can't figure a way to incorporate that into my art schedule.

So here I am, coming to you guys first, looking for someone who can produce some clean images for this project using scripts I write. It's a non-paying gig, since I've never made a cent off Supervillainous, but it is a fun little side project/hobby thing.If anyone is interested, let me know, and we can talk details.

This sound like fun. Would you be able to give a sample and see if my own style of drawing stick figures would fit?

Quick rough of Claw and Meat. It really doesn't need to get more complicated than that. I would ask you to kind of outline or shape hair on characters that need that, though. Some larger characters, like Joey, would simply have a triangular torso to show bulk.

Is there a reason you don't want to toss a google ads banner in the sidebar, out of curiosity? Even my old gaming blog that nobody read made 20 bux from that.

Eh, mostly just not interested in the extra effort. This thing is my hobby, and it essentially costs me nothing - my hosting is free, and I produce everything on an iPad. Another part of it is that after getting burned some years back by an loony "webcomic critic" who libeled me using my real name, I don't want to link anything using my name to the comic. I just don't want to take even a remote risk of a repeat of that. I might look to make some income off of it at some point, but I'm just not ready to take that step yet.

Well, if you decide to, rest assured that I can personally attest that using google ads does not expose your real name in any way, shape, or form, and once you set up your account with google, they can direct deposit so there's really no effort involved at all. It's your call, but I find my hobbies are that much more enjoyable when they pay for themselves.

The only reason I don't use them here is because you guys donated money to help the site and me so I figured you've earned a place not to be bothered by ads.

But they are anonymous. They'll find more out from your whois on your website than they will through your ads.
