From Hamm tun to Northampton.
I am looking for a comic book artist to draw my short horror series. Before I go into details here’s a few things for you to know before you send in an application for the role: - No A.I. Seriously, NO A.I! Do not even bother applying or wasting my time, you are not an artist, you are lazy. I will want to see drawings and sketches to show to you are not using A.I, and if you have been then you will be fired. I want a comic artist, someone who knows about comic pages and drawings, and if you have any prior experience on projects great, if not that’s ok as well. You will be drawing some dark themes and images, not awful or too extreme (Such as child mur-der or over the top gore). There will be some sex scenes or sexual acts and some violence but nothing over the top or super-super gore. This is not 100% required but I wouldn’t mind someone from England, as the comic takes place in England and we need to capture the grittiness of England and it’s people. My spelling and grammar can be awful sometimes, but reset assured I have hired an editor and someone who has spelled checked and grammar corrected my work, so the dialogue is correct and edited. Details of the project. I have been working on 6 short stories focusing on the occult within Northampton. If you like Alan Moore or the early John Constantine Hellblazer's you’ll hopefully like this. This story focus on magick (Yes, Magick with a K), taking inspiration from occultist like (Mainly) Aleister Crowley, John Dee and the gothic work of H.P Lovecraft. If you like the occult and magick, great! The story, for a brief summery, is about different people in Northampton and is a kind of pulp- fiction like story, where some events and characters cross over or impact others. I want to contain the details of the story due to not wanting to give too much away unless you are my artist. You will have to sign a contract saying you will not share or copy my work, even if you aren’t my artist and have made it through to the next stage. Just because this project is important to me and I have worked really hard on it for a few months and I don’t want someone to copy it or steal my ideas. All of the stories will be in black and white with only blood for colour, and the styles are usually simple realistic drawings - Think Hellblazer, swamp thing, Mr.A that kind of stuff (I’ll link some pages below). But there will be some different styles, such as how pages are laid out or maybe a different tone. One story is a cinema story, so there will be pages where it looks like the comic is a film tape burning or with film flickers. But you will have all this covered in a guide book. Now this book will detail everything, character designs, locations, styles, covers. Everything. Then on each comic layout you will have extra details relating to that issue. You will also have details on each page, such as how the page will look and what we see. A lot of the details for this project will be in the guidebook, so if you are chosen, or make it to the next stages of wanting to be my artist, I will send you the guide book and that will give you a better idea of what I want from you and what will be seen in this project. The goal of this project is to be my start in comics. I will be putting this online, on globalcomix and will also be submitting it to be published. This is the start of a long series involving Northampton and the occult, so you never know, if this goes well we might be working a lot more together and publishing our work in hopefully big companies. My goal is to submit this to Image comics, Dark horse or other major companies who are mainly independent. No Marvel or DC, not after what they did to Alan Moore and how Stan Lee took the credit for most of Marvel. As I work full-time I will be paying you per page when we are both free. I’m not expecting this to be done in a weeks time. I might pay you in one go depending on the price, but I will be looking to do a kickstarter and go fund me to help out. I can pay you, but it might not be in one go or maybe a few pages per month. One thing I will mention is you do have creative freedom, I will allow you to make suggestions or some ideas on maybe different angles or pages. I am very open and approachable. If you wish to apply please go ahead and we can discuss this further. If you have any proof of your work please submit that as well so I can have a look at your work. Again, NO A.I! Thank you for reading. (When you submit please state your per page cost, or maybe bundle deals, examples of work, a bit about you, and if you want to (Optional) your favourite comic character, series or anyone important in comics you like. In no real order, write however you like)
Research & assess whether events will disrupt treasure hunts
# Background We run 16 self-guided treasure hunts in cities across the UK. Customers play the treasure hunts on their phones, following fixed routes through public streets, parks, squares and city-centre areas while finding clues in their surroundings. Occasionally, an event in a city can disrupt a game. Examples include parades, protests, markets, festivals, filming and large sporting events. These events may block access to clues, streets, landmarks, squares, or other public spaces used in the game. We monitor upcoming events so we can decide whether to: * block customers from booking on dates with serious disruptions, or * warn customers that something potentially disruptive is happening. This matters because if players cannot access part of the route, they may call us during the game (which is stressful to handle), assume the game is broken, or abandon their game altogether. Different disruptions have different levels of impact: * If the start of the game or a clue location is inaccessible, we may need to block bookings or modify the game. * If a square is closed but there is no clue in it, players can often go around it. In that case, we would usually warn them rather than block the game. # Trial task This task is to assess whether 3 events would disrupt our games. This is a trial task. If successful, we are looking for ongoing support with this task and other admin and operations tasks. Below are 3 events in Bristol and York. The task is to research and assess whether these events will disrupt the treasure hunt route in the relevant city. Use the event information, route maps, and your own web research needed to make your decision. Event 1: (Bristol): https://www.bristolharbourfestival.co.uk/ Event 2: (Bristol): https://www.lovesavestheday.org/ Event 3: (York): https://www.futuresoundgroup.com/post/self-esteem-announced-as-live-at-york-museum-gardens-headliner # Recommend an action for each event For each event, review the event details, the route map, and any other reliable sources you can find. Then recommend one of the following 4 actions: 1. Warn players Recommend this when the event affects part of the route, but players should still be able to complete the game. For example: * the area may be busier than usual * players may need to take a small diversion * part of the route may be less convenient, but no clue locations seem to be affected Please write a short message that will be shown to players that book this date, e.g. “The Yorkshire Marathon is on, making the city busier than usual.” 2. Escalate to Paul & Ian Recommend this when the event may affect one or more clue locations, block access to a key part of the route, or make the game difficult or impossible to complete. If you recommend escalating it, explain clearly: * which part of the route is affected * whether any clue locations appear to be affected * why you think the disruption is serious * what information you used to reach that conclusion We will then decide whether to modify the game, warn players, or block customers from booking. 3. No action needed Recommend this when the event does not appear to affect the route in any meaningful way. Briefly explain why you think it is unlikely to disrupt the game. 4. More information needed Recommend this when the event might disrupt the game, but there is not enough information yet to decide confidently. Explain: * why it might cause a disruption * which part of the route may be affected * what information is missing * what you would do next to confirm it For example, the next step may be checking with the organiser, checking with the local council, or waiting for a route map or road closure notice to be published. # Deliverables Please deliver the work as a Google Doc. For each of the 3 events, provide: 1. Recommended action: Warn players / Escalate to us / No action needed / More information needed 2. Notes: an explanation of why you reached that recommendation, including which part of the route may be affected, if relevant 3. Source links: links to any pages, maps, event websites, council pages, road closure notices, or other sources used to understand the event # Additional resources If selected, we will also provide: * these instructions in Google Docs format * full route maps showing clue locations * a worked example of how we normally approach this task # The priority is accuracy It is important that this task is done precisely. Our priority is accuracy over speed. For that reason we are looking for a careful, detail-oriented human (and definitely not someone just using AI!) # Time limit: 3 hours If you reach 3 hours, please stop and give us your notes so far. It's not a problem, we just want to understand how you work. Thank you! Paul & Ian Founders
