My boyfriend is a comic book artist too, and i help him with the story lines all the time, but we usually get very long stories that end up being more for graphic novels instead. I suggest reading about something that interests you, researching it and them writing a story based on thing syou found. For example if you are into alience, research what peopel hav evitnessed and said about alience, how they described them and what theories say alience want on earth and then arrange it into a nice story. Or if you like stories about demons, research believes of different cultures about different demons and from there make up your own domon or use one that already exists in different cultures but put it into a nice story that never happened. You can also write about soeone you know and just give them special abilities. For example my brother is very skiny and doesn't gain weight no matter what he eats, so in the story abot him we turned him into a monster who is unable to digest and absorb most of the food, but can eat nearly everything. He is now a cheracter who would bite a head of of his enemy and chew it while making sarcastic jokes (my brother is also very mean sarcastic)

he just started working as a comic book artist not long ago and mostly works on small projects for small comic book companies, i hope he'll be able to get something better soon. his name is Vincent Russell, not famous at all, so i don't think you will find anything and he usually does only part of the comic book and only drawing or only inking instead of doing the whole thing and sometimes he does drawings for video games too whatever job he can find. it's rather hard to publish your own story and if you make a small comic book and have to publish it yourself. there wouldn't be much money in it, too expensive to publish. He wantes to publish a graphic novel instead, it's much easier and is more likely to pay off. My brother will be one of the cheracters, i will be another and my mom will be the third. if all goes as planed it will end up being a few books. And in case you are woundering, my mom's character will be a machete murderer lol. It would probably be a very long time till the book will be published, takes a long time to do something this big. Another story he wants to do is about cats, that one will be commical superhero story with cat cosmo fighting evil space blankets. inspired by our can who attacks blankets :) He is going to post his drawings on the internet some time soon, i'll give you a link to them once he posts them. He basically wants to have a portfolio on line, makes it easier to find a job. He will post a small story he is working on just for himself there, so you'll be able to see it. he already has one half way done that he will post there too.

For me...I think you need more passion to do something...so that something will only success...not only excuses said that you lazy... you just try your best thn at least you will get a good result... Get it? hehe...^^
