Pop Star, Take Three.
Word's come down from T-Pop. They want a few minor changes I can live with, and one major change:
They don't want H.S. Kim. Kim, to his credit, took it like a pro and moved right on.
I think it's pretty clear by now what I think of Kim's art, so I'm putting this out there to a) explain what happened to him and b) signal that the run for Pop Star artist is back on. I have more clearly defined criteria, thanks to the editors: "someone with a sense of fashion, who can draw in a more shoujo, 'girly' style." It may help to know that Amy Mebberson and Gisele Lagace came up, but both are far too busy.
And here are the pages we completed of the collaboration that almost was. One correction to H.S.'s account: it's 180 pages in six months, not three months. He was ready to do it in three, though.

Man, that's a shame. Those samples look really good. And pretty damn shojo if you ask me. Ah well, sucks about the gig. If I wasn't in the middle of a million projects at once, I'd volunteer to give it a good ol' wack, but my style is heading in a completely non-shojo direction.

It's a shame that they turned down the guy you wanted. He seems pretty good (I can forgive the exaggerated anime-experessions). I can understand why they'd want a more feminine perspective on the characters in the art though. They'd be more likely to have an eye for practicality and what the character would actually want to wear.
Popstar looks interesting, if the character reminds me a little too much of an anime whose name I can't remember....
