looking for an artist for my channel not just for one project for future purposes need a personal artist who can provide thumbnails im not rich but you will be payed
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).
I want to create a gift for a friend. I would like you to create an original 6-panel comic using photos I will provide for inspiration and dialogue text I will provide. I want the image to basically look like the person (clothing style and color, hair style, etc) but still be cartoonish. Essentially I want my friend to look at it and see that it's supposed to be them portrayed. I will want to hire somebody who is willing to be open about their identity and not remain anonymous. So you must be willing to take our communications off reddit. I won't hire if I can't verify identity.
I'm a solo developer making The Fourth Epoch, a fantasy wiki and weekly browser game set on the continent of Aropria. I'm looking for an illustrator for its first round of character art.
What I need
Style: ink line work with flat, muted washes, like a naturalist's field sketchbook. The brief has references.
Budget: up to US$3,000, which includes a written transfer of copyright. You can show the work in your portfolio once it's published, and you're credited with a link. Payment is a deposit and then milestones, through VGen/Dribbble escrow or directly. If the pilot works there's a larger follow-up, and whoever does this round gets asked first.
No generative AI at any stage. Dated sketches and layered source files are part of the delivery, and I'll never train AI on your work.
Full brief (specs, species notes, references, milestones): https://www.fourthepochonline.com/commission/pFYieai9SyC0MQLDy1N2ig
The brief is a starting point, not a fixed spec. Scope, deliverables, schedule and price are all open to discussion. Everything gets settled together in a written contract before any work begins.
To apply, please use this form (about 10 minutes): https://forms.gle/FN42iDe71NjLSh8x7
I can't keep track of comments and DMs fairly, so I'll only review applications sent through the form. Questions in the comments are welcome. Applications close October 31, 2026, and I'll email the shortlist by November 7th, 2026.
Budget $500–$800
