Hallo, ich suche eine Hintergrundillustration für eine Vitrine mit mittelalterlichen Randbemerkungen, die ich ausdrucken und aufkleben kann.

Es gibt vier Hintergründe für die Fächer. Die Fächer sind 60 cm lang und 8 cm hoch. Ich benötige entweder eine Illustration (die ich viermal verwenden werde) oder vier verschiedene.

Ich stelle mir fantasievolle Figuren aus dem Mittelalter vor: Ritter, Händler, Könige… Die Figuren können auch wiederholt werden.

In Schwarz-Weiß.

Vielen Dank!

[PAID] $3 for the best simple tattoo sketch (first tattoo)

Hi! This is my first tattoo, so I’m looking for something very simple, clean, and meaningful, not overly detailed or complex.

I actually tried generating ideas with ChatGPT AI, but the results didn’t feel right for what I want, so I’d love a human sketch instead.

Budget is $3 for the sketch I choose (PayPal/GPay/Paytm if possible).

Please keep it beginner tattoo-friendly: easy lines, simple composition, but still aesthetically strong. Below is the reference images (Welp idk how to share image here).

[Hiring] Looking for an Illustrator for a Children's Book: A Detective Story

Hey, we're looking for an illustrator for a children's book. The main characters are three girls and one boy, around 13 or 14 years old. You can design the characters however you like; they're briefly described in the story, but that might still change. We’re flexible. We’d like a stylish cover and a few illustrations inside the book.

We’ll pay for the illustrations, and your name will, of course, be on the book cover. The story takes place in Germany. Unfortunately, I don’t know how much an illustration costs. Maybe 200 euros for the cover and 50 euros per illustration in the book? They should be small pictures here and there.

Thanks!

[Hiring] Looking for artist to make album cover. 100$ budget

Hi, I'm a musician looking for someone to help me with my cover art (only digital release). I'd prefer to find someone to work with on future releases so artists with some variety is preferred as not every project is the same. I'm mostly looking for some fantasy type of style, but I don't mind seeing other genres too. Originality is a bonus. Drawing by hand or digital, both is fine. Even better if you do both.

Budget is 100$ per cover.

I'm aiming to release a song once a month ish.

Please only artists with some original work. No ai slop:)

Hiring Artist for Trading Card Game

Good morning,

I’m currently working on a trading card game that’s basketball related and in the realm of say about fantasy and science fiction for now. I scrolled through the homemadeTCG subreddit and came across one artist that ended up doing a sketch for me for about $15. Color and detail was about $80, in which I do hope to work with him more often, so I believe that’s about the ball park I’m wanting to work.

I have about five different types of cards, which are:

Player cards (Cards that showcase the player)

Gear cards (Cards that give additional stats for the players)

Arena cards (Showcasing the arena the specific team plays in)

Memorable moment cards (Big play moments that could turn the tide of a game)

Stamina cards (Resource cards that can range from all over! There’s 3 types, Guard, Forward and Center [The three positions of players], and I’d like to make multiple types of these just to add more flavor. It’d be a more detailed Player card I feel as it might showcase two players battling it out.)

I don’t have tons of money, but do want to have about like 10-15 cards made to showcase how a turn goes for my game so I can post the recorded video on KickStarter to eventually get crowdfunding going. So I’d be fine with sketches for now around that range, but open to all discussions even if you might want to consider keeping in touch for something later on as I have about 210 cards for my first batch.

DM’s are open and I can show any and everyone how the first sketch went!

Thanks!

Looking for a fantasy artist to make assets for a website

*update: please dear god, do not try to add me on other platforms to get my attention. That will 100% get you ignored.*

Hello! I'm looking for a fantasy artist to make assets for my website. I know fantasy is a broad term, but think warm/vibrant/party-like fantasy, as opposed to gothic/gritty or abstract/cell-shaded fantasy.

**NOTE: PLEASE INCLUDE PORTFOLIO AND/OR PREVIOUS WORK EXAMPLES WITH REPLY. IF YOU DO NOT DO THIS, I WILL NOT BE REPLYING TO YOU.**

I'm happy to go over the concept more in DMs, but the gist that I'm going for is a lively tavern theme with guild hall elements. Banners, wooden backdrop to look like tabletops or walls, ideally animated slightly to give some life to the pages. Example: I'd like the icons on the top (contact, about us, etc.) to be hanging signs (think "open" carved on a piece of wood), or maybe shields, or something else.

Essentially, I don't want a cookie cutter website, I want to go over the top with the fantasy elements.

I need YOU to help me with the assets, design, etc., while I have my developer implement it all and make it "work."

some inspiration I have or styles I like in general are Hearthstone, World of Warcraft, an D&D 4th Edition. I want it to feel fantasy and light-hearted, with a touch of cartoony. I may also come to you and have you work on characters for the brand (thinking of a goblin mascot for repairs, website guidance, etc.) but that would be in the future.

For DIRECT inspiration, see the following: https://www.behance.net/gallery/117478411/Animated-twitch-overlays-for-DaddyCrit

These are my overlay and transition screens from when I used to stream on Twitch, done by Mattia Tomasi. Mattia is excellent, but unfortunately he's booked solid right now. I'm looking for something similar to this style, particularly with the wood and magic/fire effect.

PLEASE include a link to your portfolio and/or previous work that RELATES to my request when you reply. I have posted before about different projects and always get people who just do not do the style that I am asking for.

Looking forward to hearing from you!

[Hiring] Crooked Tree Comics is seeking Comic Artists & Character Designers - Paid Audition ($50 for those selected for Round 2)

COMIC BOOK ARTISTS WANTED

ABOUT THE STUDIO

Crooked Tree Comics is an independent creative studio based in Chicago, Illinois, specializing in science fiction, superheroes, and supernatural narratives. We are currently operating in complete private pre-production as we develop our 2027-2028 slate of original titles.

Our current focus is entirely on the internal creative process: building our worlds, finalizing scripts, and securing long-term artistic collaborators to join our team from the ground floor.

Note on our Digital Presence:

Because our flagship projects are currently in confidential development, we have chosen to remain in a pre-launch phase. We do not yet maintain a public facing website or a heavy social media presence, as our priority is directed toward establishing our production roster and protecting our intellectual property before our official brand launch.

A Note on Transparency:

We are aware that "paid script tests" can sometimes be viewed with skepticism in the artist community. Because some of our previous outreach was misunderstood or flagged, we have updated our process to include 100% upfront payment for all Phase 2 finalists.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding our process or the studio's current pre-launch status, we invite you to Direct Message us directly. We are happy to provide clarification and offer reassurance to ensure all applicants feel secure and respected.

OUR RECRUITMENT PROCESS

To ensure a professional and secure experience for all applicants, we follow a two-phase selection process:

ROUND ONE: Portfolio Review

We are looking for Sequential Samples (storytelling flow) and Character Model Sheets (design consistency).

• Requirements: Please submit 1–4 pages of your existing body of work.

• No Spec Work: We are NOT requesting any custom or new art for this phase. We want to see what you have already accomplished.

ROUND TWO: Commissioned 1-Page Script Test (NDA Required)

Finalists selected from Phase 1 will be invited to complete a one-page "Work-for-Hire" script test to see how our creative visions align.

• The Work: A 1-page script provided by the studio to be fully inked, and lettered. Colored is OPTIONAL.

• Upfront Compensation: Selected finalists will be paid $50.00 USD UPFRONT via Zelle, Paypal, or CashApp. Payment is issued before work begins to ensure total security for the artist.

• Privacy & Rights: Due to the confidential nature of our productions, a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) is required. All Phase 2 work is considered Work-for-Hire, with all official rights retained by Crooked Tree Comics.

STRICT HUMAN-ARTIST POLICY (NO AI GENERATED CONTENT)

Crooked Tree Comics maintains a zero-tolerance policy regarding AI-generated artwork in our publications.

• The Mandate: We do not condone, accept, or support AI-generated art being passed off as original work.

• Production Standards: AI will never be used in our physical or digital media, including comics, manga, webtoons, or graphic novels. We are committed to the craft of human illustrators.

• Marketing Clarification: For transparency, we have utilized AI tools solely for experimental video marketing and promotional background materials on TikTok. However, our core narrative products are, and will always remain, 100% human-created.

HOW TO APPLY

To keep our submissions organized, please apply through our official Google Form:

https://forms.gle/av3EkadchQ3BNi2v8

Alternatively, you may comment below or send us a Direct Message, and we will provide the application link to you directly.
