Bio
Sarah Rider
I had asked, just to start with, six pages for a comic book. I gave her a script and screenshots from a game to work with. She told me that each page takes her about four to eight hours apiece, from start to finish. I expected the pages to be done around mid September. Instead, in two days, she has given me layouts, a draft and an inked version of the six pages. All she has to do now is color the pages. Two days. My expectations were blown out of the water and I'm extremely impressed and happy to have commissioned her. Some of you may be a little skeptical about how fast she had done her work, but I can assure you that she did do this in two days. I watched her do so. She allows people to watch her as she works, and talk to her while she's doing so. Not only does this serve as effective quality control, but I learned much and had great conversations with her. She answered any questions I had and she let me put my two cents in whenever I felt the need. I highly recommend Gemma for any kind of graphic artwork, she is a professional who exceeds expectations and delivers excellence.
