Howdy from the Creative Director

Posted by Jessica under Our Creative Direction |

Hey gang- in keeping with the “introducing ourselves” theme we’ve got going this week, I’ll do just that.

Hi, my name is Jessica Leigh Clark and I’m the creative director here at Zeros 2 Heroes. In the coming weeks I will be posting about topics ranging from the design and look of the site to our process for hiring artists and everything in between. I’m always happy to field questions here, so feel free to post comments to your heart’s content.

As most of you know- part of the Zeros 2 Heroes mandate is to give new and talented artists a leg up in the industry. I’m going to be talking in a lot more detail about how this will work in the near future (as we get closer to the launch of the artist tools) but for now, I’ll give you a quick peek into my process. Behold the 5 things I look for when hiring a new artist for the first time:

1. Talent- this one’s obvious
2. Speed- keep track of the time it takes you to work!
3. Price- know what’s competitive for a new artist starting out
4. Professionalism- be very responsive and punctual
5. Psycho Check- this one’s obvious too ;-)

I’ll break out each of these categories in detail soon, but this’ll give you something to think about for now! Until next week, happy creating…

  • So when do we see more of that Solar Flare comic book?
    Weren’t they going to make a movie of that or a webcomic?
    And I hear it has a dreamy editor…
    where’s he at?
