THE PROJECT: We are hiring artists for our newest Tabletop RPG project, Void Wardens. The elevator pitch for this TTRPG is “sleek power armors vs. physics bending monsters in a futuristic city.”

ABOUT US: We are a small, but established TTRPG company. Though our prior projects are known for their near photo-realistic artwork, this project is inspired by the sci-fi anime/manga of the 1980s.

ART STYLE: We are looking for artists who can work in the “retro 80s anime” style (aka cel shaded). If you need a style reference just google Bubblegum Crisis. We’re looking for saturated colors, bold outlines, and stylized designs. It needs to look like hand drawn retro-animation.

REQUIREMENTS: Right now, I need MONSTER ILLUSTRATORS. Specifically weird monsters. Monsters in Void Wardens tend to break the laws of physics and rules of physiology, are often asymmetrical, and usually disturbing looking.  

• Artists who have 5+ years on Reddit go to the top of the list.
• Artists who have experience with this art style go to the top of the list.

TIMELINE: We are hiring now and looking for artists who can produce finished pieces in the 1 to 2 weeks.

PAYMENT: Prices range from $60 and up for illustrations and go up depending on artist skill, the complexity/size of the illustration. Payment is via PayPal. 50% up front. 50% upon completion. Payment is negotiable. The 50/50 payment arrangement is non-negotiable. Payment in USD.

ART CONTRACT: We use a standard art contract for all our projects. The contract is a “for publication” contract, where the artist retains the rights to sell prints and display their artwork, as long as it’s not sold to another company for publication or commercial use. 

REFERENCES: References are available on request. We’ve hired a couple illustrators off reddit already, and a few of them are probably in this subreddit.

NO AI: Artists must agree not to use AI at any stage of their design. Any use of AI in the TTRPG industry will get my book banned. We have a strict ZERO AI policy.  

TO SCAMMERS: Please don’t waste my time or yours. We vett all of our artists. We check the known scammer lists, we check the “uses AI” list, we look how long you’ve had your profile, we do reverse image searches on portfolio. Just… don’t.  It sucks up all my time doing these checks, and I haven’t hired a scammer yet – you’re not going to be the first.

DOs & DONTs: 

• Do NOT send me messages on reddit or discord. I will not accept message requests.
  • DO: Reply to this post with your portfolio link.
• Do NOT apply if your “portfolio” is a group of image files in google drive (or similar file repository).
• Do NOT apply if you’re going to use AI
• Do NOT apply if you’re a scammer (overly hopeful, I know.)

IF INTERESTED: Just reply to this post with a link to your portfolio. 

Do not violate the rules of this Reddit group.

I'm not sure this is the right place to post this, but it seemed like a good place to start. I have two (2) finished Zbrush sculpts (see below) that I need converted to print-ready .stl files. Given all the small "fiddly bits" on the sculpts, i'm guessing some modifications will be required to make them suitable for 3d printing. This is a paid gig, but I need someone who knows what they're doing in the 3d printing area. If you're interested, please let me know. If there's a better subreddit to post this on, please let me know. Budget: Budget is negotiable, but the $30/hr listed on this reddit's guidelines seems reasonable. Dimensions: Finished sculpts will be 28mm scale (28mm mini = 2 meters).

Is there a reason I can't purchase event tickets for persons who have exhibitor or GM badges?

The system says, "<Name> does not have a badge for when this event starts, or their badge does not provide them access to it."

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
