Open Art Call: Children’s Adventure Project

1097353376Do you like The Goonies? Explorers? Monster Squad?

What about Eerie Indiana? Gravity Falls? Camp Lakebottom?

Basically, what we’re working on here is a child-friendly ‘Over the Edge’.

We need art.

With the book based around A5 in size we’re looking for:

  • Full page colour cover
  • 2 half page B&W
  • 7 1/4 page B&W

Budget starts at $400 but show us your art and make an offer even if it’s for more.

A semi-cartoonish style is preferred, but we’ll look at other styles if you can make a case for them.

Deadline is ASAP so if you’re free to start immediately, that would also be a bonus.

This work is for Chronicle City, not Postmortem.

Open Art Call: Young Adult/Children’s Illustration Style

People_Children_Young_artist_023259_This is a Chronicle City project, not a Postmortem Studios project. I just have the contacts and exposure here and the CC website isn’t quite ready yet.

When I made my previous open art call I got too many responses, to the point where it was impossible to respond to everyone. I realise that may have put a few noses out of joint and I apologise. If the response to this call is anything like as strong as the previous one I’m going to have the same problem. So I apologise in advance for not necessarily replying to people who aren’t successful in applying!

 

 

The Job

  • Colour cover (ensemble ‘cast’) digest format 300 dpi+
  • Up to 16 small, interior B&W (line art) illustrations (1/4 page, B&W).
  • Turnaround: ASAP.
  • Budget: $600-$700 USD (Some wiggle room). If you would charge more, give us your quote and blow us away

Notes

  • This is for a light, fun, indie-style role-playing game but the project may be suitable for people who wouldn’t normally work in this niche.
  • A familiarity with comic/cartoon/children’s/young adult illustration style would be helpful.
  • Please send examples or include a link to your portfolio.
  • The setting is modern day, Pacific Northwest American. ‘Modern day’ could refer to anything from the 1980s to today.
  • Character illustration is the most important aspect of the job. Fun characters with a sense of movement and expression are important.

Even if you’re not interested, please pass it on.

This could be a good learning experience for a talented art student are someone looking to gain experience or break into illustration. Even if you’re not interested, please pass it on across social media, groups, email lists, forums etc.
