Hey! I'm looking for someone to do a full body piece of my D&D cleric, semi-realistic digital painting style.

He's a young guy (19-23) with messy golden blond hair that falls over his forehead, blue eyes, fair skin.

He's wearing a chainmail shirt with a tabard over it, and on the tabard is his goddess's symbol, a red box wrapped in white ribbon. He's holding his glaive, with a red handle. For the background I'd love rose petals drifting down around him, it's the flavour for his Spirit Guardians spell. Budget is $100-350 depending on your rates. Drop your portfolio and a quote in the comments. Thanks!

Hello I would like to commission a picture of all our characters hanging out around a fire in the woods with a van in the back. It is 6 characters. Some of the characters do have concept art but most of them will be from descriptions.

As i said I am looking for this to be done in an artstyle similar to the book art. The most iconic of those would be done by steve Prescott.

Drop your portfolio and a quote in the comments. Thanks!

Hello!
I posted about this earlier this last week but admittedly waited until it was evening time to post (which was probably especially inconsiderate to those in different time zones), so here I am posting once again as I’m still looking to fill the position!

*Side Note: This post is for filling the role of the main background / environment artist for a “visual novel” style video game. If you are a UI artist, or if you are a character artist who would be interested in working on character illustrations for specific “moments” in the story (commonly referred to as “visual novel CGs”): You’re more than welcome to reach out at this time as well, and I will sort through any / all of those responses when looking to fill those specific positions in the near future. (Please just include “UI artist”, “CG artist”, etc. in the beginning of your response accordingly.)

Budget (for background / environment artist): $1000 - $5000 USD (very flexible)
——-

I’m a writer (and I guess now, technically, “game director”?) located in the US (Pacific time zone, general Los Angeles, CA area, English first language).

I have a fully completed / edited manuscript (as well as all the written game / scene direction) for a story I’ve written, to be turned into a “visual novel” or “point-and-click” style video game (think the Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney Trilogy, the Danganronpa games, etc.) and I’m currently looking to fill the position of the lead background artist for the game.

To clarify some things, without getting into the details of the story:

There are a total of 30+ rooms/ outdoor areas/ locations in the game, each of which would need its own “background” art. (Again, see games like the Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney games, the Danganronpa games, or most any visual novel games to get a general idea of what I’m referring to.)

This visual novel is over 600,000 words long, and all of the writing for the entire game is fully complete. (Estimated over ~60 hours of playtime for a full playthrough of the game.)

This is absolutely not an “18+” game, or an “H-game”, or an “adult game”, etc.

There are no excessively violent scenes or gore in the game, but it should be pointed out that multiple characters do pass away throughout the story. (Again, without diving into the details of the story, multiple, unfortunate deaths do take place.)

Of the 30+ locations in the game, the vast majority will only need a general “daytime” version to be completed. (just clarifying this in advance to avoid any confusion, though a small handful of locations will end up needing a “sunrise / early morning” variation as well, later on)

All of this story takes place 100% in the “real world”, current day. (Though, in a fictional location.)
In addition to that, it might be worth noting that none of the locations will need any excessive amounts of props, items, furniture, etc. to be present in them, or any other overly complex details.

——

With those brief details in mind:

This is, of course, 100% fully paid work, and I am looking for someone who is not only interested in working on this project but also confident / comfortable in taking on the role of creating over 30 “background” locations in a consistent style. (In other words, I’m aware that this is a fairly large set of background pieces, so please keep that in mind when taking this project into consideration!)

Anyone using “AI” in any part of their “work process” need not apply or reach out. (I humbly ask that you respect my views on this and do not waste either of our time. Thank you.)

——-

Finally, if you think you’d be interested:

Please reach out to me directly below this post! (I’ve been advised to not handle initial communication through direct messages or email.) Please, to keep everything organized in one place, I ask that you simply leave a response below.

When reaching out:

I’d greatly appreciate if you could clarify “Background Artist” in the beginning of your response. (Again, just to keep everything as organized as possible, for my own sake.)

I’d greatly appreciate if you could please directly attach a few visual examples of some of your work that might be relevant to this project (background / environment art).

(If you have any games / visual novels / anything else that you’ve worked on in the past, I’d definitely love if you could mention that or include a direct link to that as well!) I would absolutely love to work with someone who’s worked on this exact sort of thing in the past!

(*Also, feel free to directly link or list any of your social media accounts / artist websites in your response if I’d be able to see some more examples of your work in any of those places!)

With your message and some examples of your work, I’d also greatly appreciate if you could please include your rates / pricing for this type of work as a background artist.
(~30 indoor / outdoor locations, let’s say no additional “time of day variations” needed for the time being, for simplicity’s sake.)
*General visual references as well as detailed written descriptions have already been prepared for you for each of the locations, but of course I look forward to welcoming and encouraging your own, individual art style and original ideas as well!*

Again, (just to clarify), this is 100% paid work. This is what I have been / will be working on full-time, and it is also being fully funded out of my own pocket. It would mean the world to me to work with someone who is not only capable of taking on such a large task but also genuinely cares about what they’re doing as well. (Again, I hate that I have to clarify this, but please: Absolutely no “AI” whatsoever.)

In other words: This is not a post for an unpaid fan project or a side project. (Absolutely 100% nothing but love for all the awesome “fan projects” out there and anything that ever started as a “side project”!) As such, I hope for this game to be fully completed and ready to be released as soon as possible, while of course prioritizing quality over a rushed “final product”.
-Again, the entire story for the game is 100% completed, edited, organized, and ready to be shipped (all dialogue, direction, etc.)

—-

With all of that being said, thank you so much for skimming through this excessively long post of mine, and I truly hope to hear from you soon!

I hope this will be the start of many great things to come. Please, look forward to it!

*End Note: I had originally planned on requesting that any responses be handled solely through email rather than through direct responses to this post, so please forgive me if asking for your current pricing / rates or asking for links to your social media is not allowed. Regardless, I’m sure we can discuss those things privately as a next step when the time comes!

All the best,
-KM

The Vision:

I'm building a dark fantasy webseries with a heavy focus on high-tension, razor-sharp 90s aesthetic. Think classic Yu-Gi-Oh! (Battle City era), Death Note, and peak 90s/early-2000s dark anime.

​I'm looking for a lead line-artist who genuinely loves this era and can hit or exceed the structural standards set by masters like Takahiro Kagami and Kazuki Takahashi.

​What the Role Needs:

​Sharp Geometric Anatomy: Angular jawlines, faceted hair, sharp joint articulation, and hyper-detailed, dynamic hands.

​Hard-Surface & Tech: Ability to draw clean, rigid mechanical gear, weapons, and industrial assets with tight perspective.

​Heavy Kuro-Beta Shading: Strong G-Pen line weight variation and bold, solid-black ink shadow blocks.

​Linework Focus: Clean line art and structural inks only (post-production color/rendering is handled in-house).

​What Doesn't Fit:

If your style leans into soft digital airbrushing, pastel VTuber designs, modern webtoon aesthetics, or painterly rendering, this won't be a good fit. I need pure, high-contrast, hard-edge line art.

​Process:

This is a paid role. Candidates who pass the initial portfolio review will be invited to a quick, paid test assignment (a single character headshot/line-art piece) at standard commercial rates. However, the goal is to bring on someone full-time for ongoing work. The pricing structure will be developed in a mutually agreeable fashion prior to the project start date.

​To Apply:

Send a message with your portfolio link. Please include at least one direct example of sharp geometric linework, retro ink shading, or hard-surface gear. (Generic portfolio blasts without matching line-art examples won't be reviewed).

Hi!! I have male character that has some bishounen elements (think sailor moon/90s BL) and I am awful at designing outfits. Like soooo bad at character design. You'll have a ton of creative freedom specifically because I have a bad eye for design so I'd hope this is a fun, laid back job :D

I have a moodboard and a few outfit inspo pics, but the job is essentially: design some cool looking outfits! I'd want maybe three outfits designed- casual, some sweet lolita things, angelcore. But you can let me know how pricing would works or how much you want for each drawing. I'll be willing to pay extra to have the character drawn too.

Vgen users preferred, post a link :D

Also, I STRONGLY prefer to hire someone who knows the genre I'm talking about because I am going for a super specific vibe here. So, if you like yaoi, shounen-ai, tragic romance, shoujo, or general pretty boy anime, comment your favorite character so I know you aren't a spammer and that you read the description :3

Art style does NOT matter- just have a good imagination and someone who likes designing outfits, likes accessorizing and can read a moodboard :D

Pigment Miniatures Show is looking for an illustrator to create the key art for next year's show.

Budget: $600–$750 USD maximum.

This is a small-run project for an independent miniature painting show. We are looking for an artist who is excited by the concept and whose existing work is a strong fit.

THE CONCEPT

This year's Pigment Show hero character is a trumpet-playing mariachi.

The key art should show him playing his trumpet and bringing vibrant color to an otherwise monochrome world.

The image should communicate transformation, creativity, joy, and the power of art.

We are intentionally leaving the visual interpretation open. We want the artist to determine how the color, music, transformation, environment, and composition work together.

DELIVERABLES

1. Finished key art

One polished illustration suitable for use on t-shirts (DTG printed), convention badges, website, social media, and other promotional materials.

2. Character design

The hero character needs a distinctive, memorable design that works both in the illustration and as a physical miniature. The selected artist will provide enough character reference for a professional sculptor to create a physical miniature based on the design.

This does not need to be an extensive concept-art package. We are looking for practical reference showing the character's important visual details, costume, equipment and proportions.

3. Final files

High-resolution production files suitable for the uses above. Layered/source files are preferred.

RIGHTS

This is a commercial commission, but it is a small-run project. We expect approximately 50 T-shirts to be sold. The resulting miniature is intended to break even rather than generate significant profit.

Pigment needs the right to reproduce the artwork on Pigment merchandise and promotional materials and to provide the character design to a sculptor selected by Pigment for creation of a physical miniature.

We are looking for a commercial license covering the specific uses above. Please identify any licensing limitations or additional fees in your quote.

NO AI

Pigment has a strict no-AI-art policy.

All commissioned artwork must be created by the artist without generative AI or AI-generated/AI-assisted imagery being incorporated into the final work. WIP images and time lapse videos may be requested.

Please explicitly confirm this when applying.
