We have the pleasure of welcoming a guest editor at Heroes Dutch Comic Con. This is a very exclusive opportunity for upcoming Comic Artists. They will get a chance to present their portfolio. Our editor this year is the one and only C.B. Cebulski, Editor-in-Chief, Marvel Comics.
Showing your portfolio to this renowned editor is a chance of a lifetime. The editor is the one who can give you valuable professional feedback on your work. He will be present at Heroes Dutch Comic Con to review all portfolios throughout the day. Use his experience to your advantage to grow even more!
HDCC PORTFOLIO METHODOLOGY / LOGISTICS:
– WeÂŽll leave a box / bucket in the editorâs table for people to leave their portfolios. Those portfolios HAVE TO BE only COPIES, NEVER originals, always in A4 size, with a curriculum vitae included after the cover, as page 1.
– Each portfolio needs to be a minimum of six pages, and a maximum of 15. It can be pencillers, inkers (if itâs an inker he/she should also show the pencils heâs inked) colorists (if itâs a colorist he or she should also include the black and white pages he/she has colored). Each portfolio must also have a cover with an illustration, the artistâs full name or ânom the plumeâ and contact information. Also, every interior page needs to have written the full name and contact info (phone number and email) of the creator at the top of EACH page. We canât guarantee the portfolios will be returned. It canât be lost, or an editor could decide to take it back home, so the artist must accept in advance it wonât be returned, and we should specify that in the rules. âIf you leave in the box, itâs quite possible you wonât get it back, so please donât include any original art in the portfolioâ.)
– This is free access. ANYBODY can leave their portfolio. But NOT EVERYBODY will get a private meeting, only those the editor decide are ready or have the potential to become a professional artist. Weâll ask the selected artists to show an ID to access the meeting, because only the ones selected can access those.
– Every day of the show the artists will be able to leave their portfolios at the editorsâ table until 2:00 pm; at that time the editors will pick and review the portfolios from each bucket and pick who they will be meeting with. Weâll write the names of the people each will meet in two whiteboards (or similar) around 3:00 pm and meetings will start at 3:30 pm, for two hours, until 5:30 pm (each meeting lasting 15 minutes, approx.). If youâre not on the list, feel free to ask for your portfolio, and when at all possible, weâll return it to you.
