Comic Book Style 2D Game Character Artist
Budget: $750 – $1,500 USD
*See PDF for Full Job Details!*
Hey, everyone!
We are a social gaming app called Indemni, and we are looking for an artist to create the artwork for our characters on our platform. While we have a good idea of the art and style we would like for the characters, we are open to deferring to the artists’ preferences and expertise to fulfill our goals in the most effective way possible. You will need to reach out with your portfolio initially to apply for the job. Then, we would like to see if you can replicate our creative vision for the characters with a quick sketch or mock-up based on the thorough details below and reference images! We are willing to pay a small sum for this if needed, so you don’t feel as if your time/effort has been wasted if we decide to work with someone else.
Be sure to read the attached brief thoroughly before applying and check the reference images! We want something extremely similar to the two male images for our Youth Male Character and Young Adult Male Characters, and want that style for the rest of the art created. While we want to allow you a lot of creative freedom in this vision, we are very set on the exact style of characters and requirements detailed. If you do not believe you can recreate this style extremely well, then please do not apply.
Also, we are flexible on the pay, and will compensate a great artist that can help us achieve our vision well. Just be sure to give us an honest assessment of the time and difficulty, and we are more than willing to meet your price and then some. There are more details on this at the end of brief, but do note this will most likely turn into a retainer position, and potentially a full-time job offer if done well, and there is a bonus for great work!
Looking forward to working with you soon! Reach out with any questions.
Overview (See PDF for Full Details!)
- 2D Character Art
- 8 Total Characters
- Around 4 unique pieces for each character
- Around 5 expressions for each character
- 3 skin tone varieties for each character
Type of Art (Overview):
• Character Design:
o Single stance unique sketches
o A few different facial expressions
o Some color options.
• 2D illustrations in a compatible digital format (PNG).
• Aspect ratio – (1:1).
• Transparent Background.
• The art for each character should be created in such a way that each stance (unique sketch) flows between each other, so that we can implement simple animations, light rigging, and effects to transition between the illustrations smoothly.
Style (See attached Art Examples):
• The art is a mix of cel-shading and comic book-style characters.
• Characters are highly-stylized versions of ordinary people.
• The colors are saturated, but contain strong contrast.
• Strong shadowing to give a touch of realism.
• Characters are outlined with a subtle thin black line, followed by a white outline – creating the look of a paper/cardboard cutout.
