Hi, I'm hoping to find someone to collaborate with for a pitch. If you don't know the DFC was a short lived childrens comic which aimed at the 8-12 age range, stories that were engaging and clever but with relevant themes.
They're relaunching as 'The Phoenix' and I'm looking to pitch an episodic story called 'The Well'. I'm currently in the middle of another project so I'm looking for someone to take over art duties for about 5-10 pages (preferably colouring too but I know a few people).
Here's some of the concept stuff I've done so far and a brief synopsis. I think it'd be a fun draw.

Matt is caught off guard when his older friend Shelly tries to kiss him in the woods one day. Embarrassed and lost, Matt tries to run back but encounters a pack small carved shield monsters who chase him frantically. He is rescued by an armless tribe who explain the shield monsters are under the control of the horrific Captain, the monster that stole their arms and lives down a well sat atop a huge monolith. With nowhere else to go Matt finds himself a slave to the armless tribe and is forced in to confronting the Captain. To do this Matt must face the army of shield monsters, breach the monolith and enter the mysterious realm down The Well...
Who is this mysterious Captain and what is his link to Matt? What lies down the well and what is the Captain doing so many arms down there?
Combining aspects of fantasy and fairytale with a grimm reality, The Well is a story of lost innocence, sacrifice and responsibility. Matt must leave behind his childhood and face the biggest challenge of his young life.
Nice work there, danbell, like that a lot. Cool little shield men too.
Good luck with it!
