Need a Comic Book Illustrator for a story set in the Old Wes

I am offering a part time gig - payment delivered every 2 weeks. As I wind down other gigs, this will be my focus. I am currently working with an illustrator whom I am very pleased with. I am however looking for someone who can do the same quality work for less money. I have a western series that I have written that I want to adapt for comics.

Let the pictures tell the story and do not caption much unless the script requires it. For Example, caption "Texas, 1882."

I have given you lots of reference of what the character designs should be if you look at my Facebook page for Up the Trail. Please stick to that. This is who I imagine ALISON would look like. The hairstyle is wrong because it is a wig but I see her as a blonde. [login to view URL]

 Before you submit, I need to know how much you charge for 30 page script. I have 15 of these scripts. Tell me which artists inspire you and why you choose to be an illustrator. I need to see a portfolio. I also decline offers for lack of responsiveness. Thank you
