COMIC ARTIST/GRAPHIC NOVELIST CAREER at MIDNITETECH’S SIMBLR

You begin as a Comic Store Clerk and then choose from 2 branches. Once you’ve decided on your branch, there are 7 levels each, as follows:

Comic Book Artist

Intern Artist
You’ve just joined the team at Limited Edition Comics as an Intern Artist. You’ll learn to work as part of a team, and realise the writer’s thoughts into professional drawings.

Letterer
The Letterer’s use of typefaces, calligraphy, letter size, and layout all contribute to the impact of the comic, and you’ll be drawing in sound effects too! Boom! Crash! Wallop!

Colorist
As a Comic Colorist, you’ll be adding, well, color to the black and white line art! It’s you that breathes life into the pages!

Freelance Illustrator
Now you’re a Freelance Illustrator, you’ll be drawing for different companies, and will be contracted to create a range of concept work and character designs!

Creative Assistant
Congratulations! Now you’re a Creative Assistant, and you’ll be preparing promotional material and coordinating your team. You know, delegating!

Cover Artist
Most people will judge a book by its cover, and yours have to be eye-catching! Grab your readers attention with bold graphics and fun characters.

Digital Colorist
Want to work in the cutting-edge field of digital animation? Well, congratulations! You’ve just been promoted. Put down that pen and paper, and grab a table. You’re going digital!

Graphic Novelist

Intern Writer
Being an Intern Writer means a lot of work. You have to grasp new concepts and be willing to take constructive criticism from your peers. But it’s all for the greater good!

Assistant Graphic Novelist
Assisting the team, you’ll now be contributing your very own ideas, and MAYBE they’ll even be used. You have to start somewhere, and you’re well and truly on your way!

Entry-Level Comic Book Writer
OK, so you came up with the Best Idea Ever. You started to flesh it out. Developed a few characters, introduced some conflict…and then it all went horribly pear-shaped. Closer, more meticulous examination of your comic book classic-to-be exposed a troubling truth: It’s actually rather Plum. Keep working on your Writing!

Comic Writer
Your ideas are really starting to flesh out, and there’s no stopping you now! Your stories are gripping, and your audiences are captivated! Keep up the good work!

Graphic Novelist
Your ideas are just getting too long for a Comic Book, and it’s time to branch out into graphic novels. You’re a real writer! Congratulations!

Graphic Novel Editor in-Training
You’re now on the editing team, and you get to have a real say in what’s published and what isn’t. Weed out the rubbish, and pick an idea that might just be the next big seller!
Graphic Novel Editor in-Chief
Congratulations! You’re now the top editor at Limited Edition Comics, and have a whole team of minions of your very own. At least if you get writer’s block now, you can get someone else to brainstorm!
