#RPG – Open Art Call – Comic Cover

Art only, text will be handled, so a bit of space will need to be left at the top to fit in a title.

Looking for a 300 dpi, A4, basic colour (shade and highlight) at around ~$200, but this is negotiable. Digital delivery required and payment via Paypal upon delivery, with the artist retaining rights to resale or re-use the art.

The cover is for an introductory comic, to explain RPGs as a concept to new players, parents, friends or children. Perhaps to become part of a series, depending on reception.

As such I’d like the cover to evoke the basic wish-fulfilment quality and appeal of games. Perhaps fantasy archetypes bracketing a d20, perhaps a player, looming about their character like a god while their character faces some peril. Those are my two main ideas, but I’m open to pitches.

Apply at grim@postmort.demon.co.uk, preferably with a link to any online portfolios or similar.

#RPG – Open Art Call -Tales of Gor

An artist has had to pull out of illustrating the next Tales of Gor adventure/supplement, due to being overwhelmed by other commitments (and due to me being a soft touch as an employer!)

As such I am looking for an artist to pick up the slack so I can get the next book out.

You don’t need to know Gor, though it would be helpful. I need someone willing/able to handle mild adult content (nudity) and with an appreciation of the ‘swords-and-sandals’, ‘planetary romance’ and ‘science fantasy’ aesthetic. Your style doesn’t have to match, but an appreciation or enthusiasm of the medium will carry well.

The job is for four, B&W (pref line art) A5-A6 scale illustrations at 300-600 dpi. Offered payment is $200 USD, with a bonus if you can supply the work within a 7 day schedule. This is negotiable within reason.

Please get in touch ASAP, as this is on a first come (and suitable), first served basis!

Contact: grim@postmort.demon.co.uk

Feel free to pass this on and post it around as I am ALWAYS looking for artists, even if people don’t get this job.

I will also be looking for more adventure writers in the future, familiarity with Gor and with the D6 System preferred for that.

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

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.
