For the record, I think what I'm about to say is ridiculous. If you agree, please be polite about it.
So, I want to make one of my manga into a webcomic. Problem is, as I'm sure you know, few artists work for free, or even with the promise of later money and I have little funds. I just posted promising part of ad and Patreon revenue, but it occurs to me that that could be a remarkably slow payment method, depending on popularity.
So, I searched Kickstarter and turns out Kickstater campaigns for webcomics do exist. But, most of them have concept art or something. I'm a terrible artist, so all I'll ever have is scripts.
So, for everyone: Would you back a campaign with nothing but scripts, with the idea being funds would be used to pay for an artist(and pledge rewards, obviously)?
And, for artists: Would you work with someone who promised you Kickstarter funds as payment? If so, how much work would you do before the funds actually came in? A couple pages, some concept art, what?
Thanks for reading and for any answers you can provide.
