Artists needed for professionally-produced anime RPG


muddymelly's avatar
[ Background Information ]
    Echoes of Eternea* is an excitedly-anticipated (1,456 Kickstarter backers in a successful campaign; many more pre-orders) anime-style RPG (role-playing game.) Here's more information about Eternea on Kickstarter: [link] + [link]
    The dev team: awesome + very friendly developers, director + staff, writers, composers ([link] voice actors and actresses, and artists.
    (*Produced by Echoes of Eternea Games, LLC @ [link] [Facebook] -- and [link] [Twitter])

★★ [ Job Description ] ★★
    ★ We earnestly seek character artists -- whose styles match the game's character art* -- to push Eternea towards publication in the fall! ★
    *Here are examples of Eternea's art style: [link] + [link] . I'm writing you talented artists -- because the Eternea team and I-who-am-too-slow need your help with the remaining game art in a style similar to mine; we'll need the following done...
    ==> (1) Non-animated one-flat-color drawings (that will be used in "motion comics;" the art style required will be very similar to Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker's opening cinematic @ [link] .) These drawings may be stylized and may not look like my normal style.
    ==> (2) Character design and / or "dialogue torsos" (like [link] [no background needed for torso illustrations] and used in the game like [link] .) These drawings should resemble the style of existing character artwork.

★★ [ How To Apply ] ★★
    Please email Ryan Harmon,* Eternea's lead director, with --
    (1) links to your DeviantART / artwork / portfolio;
    (2) your rates per piece for the following: full-body / torso without background, colored digitally; full-body character design, colored digitally;
    (3) and how much time you take to draw the above.
    ==> *You can reach Ryan @ harmon.ryan12 (AT) gmail (DOT) com. To make sure your email is easily identified, please type "Eternea" somewhere in the subject line of your email!

★★ [ About Compensation And Working For E.O.E. Games ] ★★
    Very fair compensation is guaranteed. Working with Ryan and his skilled team has been amazing; everyone's genuinely kind and gives each other much freedom and enough time to work.
    Because I've been such a slow artist [hence why I'm asking you all for help,] I've told Ryan to please use all / any of my own compensation from the $43,196 Eternia budget -- to pay you all; with your help, Eternea can finish beautifully!
    Please email any inquiries to Ryan at harmon.ryan12 (AT) gmail (DOT) com ! Thank you for your time, everyone.

Ahhh wow this is such a huge project. How did it go? If you don't mind me asking. Were you able to find new artists? :)

I do not currently draw in a style similar to yourself, but I am skilled at imitating people's styles very well. Should I post the work I have done to prove this as well as some sketches showing my skills at imitating your style?

Oh gawd... I could probably try my hand at doing a style test, but I'm so busy this month that I don't think I'd be able to do it till mid-August. When do you need everything by? I'd love to apply.

wow! i wish i was good enough to be apart of that

Hello! ^^ I do not think that I'll be eligible to help with the dialogue torsos and whatnot as my style is not similar to yours!!

However I'm definitely interested in the character design and flat colour drawings. I will be able to offer pretty cheap rates.If it is not too much trouble could you note me on the details of the job and how much artwork must be produced? I would like more details before actually contacting the lead director.

:iconslashshockplz: Thank you for reading!

Wow that game will look awesome :D
Good luck with working with it! :3
I cant wait till it comes I really love the style it will be! ^^

Spontaneously I think the style and detail is a bit too extravagant (at least the in-game conversation waist-shots).

Not sure if my work thus far is good enough for that, and I'm bad at detailing work and following certain styles (imo), so eh..

But good luck!

Well, though my style doesn't match the game's existing one (could probably get close if given a step-by-step, managed to reproduce other artists' styles in the past this way) I'd totally love to be part of the team so just gonna apply with my whole portfolio hehe :lmao:

Good luck anyway, and I'm totally a new supporter now *duh, late am I?* for whenever the game's gonna be launched&playable :dummy:

I'm a traditional artist, so I don't think I'll be able to help. Hope you'll find someone!:)
DomDozz's avatar
Wow, i saw the campaign long ago and I reaaaaaally loooove your character design and how you paint them!! XD

Seriously, good luck for the game development!! Really looking forward to it!

Sorry i wasn't here to apply XD hope you'll find a suitable artist soon!

Hi,

Just to clarify, Will this payment be dependent on the kickstarter funding being successful? or is it upfront payment?
muddymelly's avatar
Hi, FriendlyHand!! The Kickstarter campaign was successfully funded last year (netting $43,196 from 1,456 backers and many more pre-orders.) You can definitely request upfront payment or a portion of your payment as a deposit.
