Character Illustration for a Trading Card Game

Hello! I am in the process of developing a Trading Card Game, and I am looking for an artist to collaborate with to design fantasy style characters and creatures. Currently, I am looking for short term commissions; however, I would be interested in hiring artists for a longer term, should the game really take off! If you are interested in the project, please take the time to the general requirements for the project, as well as general details about the project(s) described below. Requirements: • All pieces must be in a portrait orientation • The dimensions must be 11.5 x 16.6 cm (width x height) • The format must be either .jpg or .png (.png is preferable, but high resolution .jpg is fine), along with the source file (.psd) • All final pieces must be delivered without an artist’s watermark • For sets of characters, it is preferable for sketches for each character to be drawn first, to ensure consistency Project (1) – The Malevolent Marionettes (10 – 15 characters): These cute dolls were created for the purpose of entertaining the masses at a circus. However, the circus was abandoned, and the Marionettes along with it. Spurned by their abandonment, the dolls became sentient and corrupted, and began to wander the world, seeking revenge on those who would get in their way…. Project (2) – Castleguard Hydra (2 – 5+ creatures): This gigantic sea dwelling creature was tamed by a race of mermen known as the Castleguard, and tasked with protecting their undersea cities from invaders. The creature has a main body (the “Castleguard Hydra”) and several supporting heads (“Hydra Head”), each which will feature in an individual piece of artwork. Project (3) – Radiant Knight, Notliegh (1 character): A young paladin, wielding an enchanted sword and riding a mythical creature (a lion/dragon hybrid) into battle. He fights for truth and light, against the forces of evil. If you are interested in the project, then please provide either a quick sketch based on the project(s) described above, or a link to artwork you have previously completed of a similar nature (Note: Please state in your proposal which project(s) interest you, to avoid confusion.) This would be very helpful for me, as it will help me to determine how well your art style blends with the artwork I currently have (I can provide examples of the artwork I have, just send me a message). Please include the term “rubber duck” in your project proposal. Also, if you have any questions, then please send me a message, and we can discuss the project in further detail. Thank you for taking the time to read my proposal, and I look forward to working with you!
