Hi everyone!

I made a Reddit account for the sake of hiring an artist. I’m looking for a versatile mangaka/illustrator for a paid collaboration and strong partnership on a multimedia musical project. The story is original and fully thought out, but I need an artistic partner to bring it to life. The story follows a frog protagonist who must overcome a long journey, collecting the necessary items to defeat a large team of demons. The style I’m looking for is a blend of JJK/Demon Slayer/Pokemon, with bold colors.

The Project Includes:
• Illustrated short novel/story.
• Character & concept promotional art.
• Short animation loops for the track visualizers.

Requirements:
• A portfolio showing manga panels and dynamic character art.
• Ability to produce digital art (scanned hand drawn art is acceptable).
• Open to scheduled calls/discussion in English or Spanish to ensure development occurs smoothly.

Compensation:
• Fully Paid Project: Budget is secured and paid via milestones.
• Backend: Merch and profit-split options are available.

Rates and specific scope will be discussed privately with selected candidates. Apply by commenting a link to your portfolio/social media page and usual rates.

Thank you!

Hey! I'm looking for artists for BGs and characters for a indie visual novel I want to make, I have the idea very prepared but sadly there isn't any money that I could give you. I don't need any specific artstyle and I don't need profesionality, if you can draw people and poses? That's perfect , you can draw a BG with reference? That's perfect. I will thank you all very much If you participate (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*

I am looking for someone to design a profile picture for me in the style of the anime/manga Jojo's Bizarre Adventure for my social media accounts. I don't mind if you are unfamiliar with it I have a reference picture that I want it to be based upon.

Have you submitted your artwork to Marvel or DC but haven't heard anything back yet? You might be exactly the artist I'm looking for.

I'm an independent writer looking to hire an interior artist for a paid, modern-day horror comic.

Requirements

Strong sequential storytelling skills.

Horror experience (or a portfolio that fits the genre).

Must be able to pencil and ink your own work.

Artists with manga/anime work in their portfolio are welcome, but this project requires a traditional American comic book style.

Please include sequential samples that feature modern-day settings, clothing, vehicles, architecture, etc.

Sequential page samples (not just covers or pinups).

Your current availability.

Whether you're comfortable signing an NDA before reviewing the script.

So I am the most uncreative person in the world but I really do want a profile picture that I can use for my twitch discord and whatever else but I have no ideas at all. We can discuss price but I am willing for around 50 I am willing to go more I don’t have any ocs or anything like that so I am more leaning to just my name for the pfp but to make it cool looking if that makes sense?

Looking for a colourful anime style artist, capable of working with vectors/high quality artwork (300dpi minimum).

For reference check out our website/Kickstarter:

www.timeweaversworld.com

We are looking for a slightly more mature art style (think manga/anime)

Please don’t sent DM, instead post a relevant recent artwork in the comments so we can find you :)

Budget depends on art work, but looking at roughly $100 for a poster, depending on complexity.

Absolutely no ai to be involved during any phase of the project.

Many thanks

Hello,

my name is Kassandra,

I'm an Artist and a researcher

photorealistic and space is NOT my style by far...

I tried to sketch a "black hole/ event horizon" and it looks like a fried egg 🥚 lmao!!!

so I'm looking for an artist who sketches in pencil/charcoal for a simple sketch of my vision...

that mainly involves space, stars, nebulas, galaxies and most importantly a black hole with an event horizon.

I'm not looking to render my whole cover, just a small part of it.

my budget starts at 30$ but can go up to if I find the right qualification!!

I got lots of pictures as reference and stuff...

I found an awesome artist to design my debut novel's cover after initially getting scammed by AI-generated fraud. Now I need a new cover for my second novel.

My second novel explores the modern crisis of AI slop in the author space through two colliding perspectives: a successful "author" whose empire crumbles when her AI-generated fraud is exposed, and a struggling writer constantly battling the temptation to use those same artificial shortcuts. To mirror this thematic divide, I'm envisioning a split visual aesthetic for the book. Like on the left, we have imitated slop. The weird shadows, the extra fingers, whatever you think would make it look AI. And on the right, we have regular artwork.

We can discuss details further. But does anyone think they can imitate AI?​ Drop a comment.

Thanks in advance!

Hey all! I am looking for a concept artist to assist in game development for an upcoming indie game. This action packed game (still in development), is going to have a fun blend of different art styles and themes, so I am looking for a talented concept artist to assist in bringing this game to life! If you are good at any of the following, please reach out!

• Character Design
• Environmental Design
• Scenes
• ETC.

I am paying a flat rate per FINAL completed piece, not hourly. I am open to negotiate the pay, though I will require to see some form of portfolio beforehand or proof of work. I am being very selective on this job hiring, only because I want to make sure that this project is successful, if I decline to work with you, please know it isn't out of malice or anything personal, I just want to make sure I get this right. Whoever I do choose to work with, I will be in contact with and will be paid per completed piece, meaning I am paying for the final artwork, not the drafts. I understand art takes time, though on account of some scams demanding excessive pay for intentional failure, I will not budge on this policy. I will try to work with the hired artist to make sure the art is done well, and captures what we're looking for. If you are up to the challenge and are interested in this proposition, please feel free to send me a message! Artist will be credited anytime the art is used.

[UPDATE!!!]

Hey all! Thank you to everyone who is and still are in the process of applying! Please note that I have gotten a LOT of different applicants and am still filtering through them. If I don't respond immediately, please note that I am trying my best to check through applicants as best as I can! I will try to send messages soon, though if you are seeing this after the update, feel free to continue to apply, I am still looking through applicants and am just taking the time to look everyone over! Thank you all for your time and patience!

[UPDATE TO THE UPDATE!!!!!]

Thanks to everyone still sending in applications! I will keep this listing open until I close it, in which I'll either update the post again or make another post. The likely close date for the application will be 8/1/2026. Thanks to everyone sharing their amazing art work with me! It honestly all looks amazing!
