Realistic Strategy Game Characters

I’m assembling a roster of high-detail, realistic characters for an upcoming strategy game and need an artist who can bring them to life with convincing anatomy, believable materials, and strong personality.

Scope
• Style: photo-realistic (no cartoon or pixel art).
• Asset type: characters only—no backgrounds or items for now.
• Detail level: high; textures, lighting, and small accessories should read clearly at typical in-game zoom levels.

What I’ll provide
• Written briefs for each unit, including lore, role, and mood references.
• Size specs and any engine-specific guidelines (e.g., transparent PNGs, layered PSDs).

What I expect back
• Concept sketch for approval.
• Final colored illustration with clean edges, on a transparent background.
• Source file with organized layers.

If you’re comfortable iterating until the look matches the brief and you have a portfolio that shows realistic character work, I’d love to see it and discuss the first batch right away.
