PLEASE READ CAREFULLY

1.  If you contact me or respond to this message I will assume you read the whole thing and agreed to the points within

2.  Please do not contact me without giving me your price list or estimate for the job.  I cannot respond to 70+ notes asking people what they charge.  If you don't give me an estimate or a price list for what we're asking, I cannot respond.  If you don't have a price list or aren't set on a price, simply put that you are open to offers.

I'm hiring artists for my husbands company which is making a tabletop RPG called Threads of Tyrus.  It is standard fantasy, so the work you'd be asked to do will be along those lines.  We have a strict budget (which I have no control over and which I cannot list here) so we aren't paying a lot of money for these pieces, but we ARE paying.

We of course would like the rights to the piece so we can use it for any of the projects related to Threads of Tyrus.  We allow all our artists to share their pieces in their personal galleries once the project they did the art for has been out for one month (we notify everyone via email).  We only ask that they share that it was done for our project.

We are looking for painted fantasy styles.  We are not currently interested in anime or comic styles or inked work.  Last time I posted a message on this I got overwhelming response so please do not take it personally that I don't respond to each person.  If you post here or send me a note regarding the work and the team is interested in your work, I will contact you back with a job offer.  Please let me know if you are more comfortable with any specific type of work (creature, character, environment) or likewise, uncomfortable with any type.

We are looking for FULL color illustrations.  Characters or creatures with backgrounds.  We are also looking for a few artists to do environments.  We need each image to be done on a one week deadline (we of course adhere to this as best as possible but a day or two isn't going to break the deal for us).

We pay in USD via Paypal in FULL once we receive the sketch for approval.  This is non negotiable (I promise that no one will be taken advantage of, we of course want to fairly compensate artists!).  You are free to watermark or otherwise protect your sketch however you like.  All artists will be credited within the game, likely directly below the art they illustrated.


Our work flow is typically like:

1.  I send details regarding what they want you to paint
2.  You send sketch for approval
3.  I send payment in full
4.  You can send further approval stages, correct, etc though further approvals beyond the first are not required.
5.  You finish the image and send us a large version
6.  I contact you one month after games release and tell you that you are free to share the work you did for us if you would like


Though we will only be hiring each artist for ONE illustration to begin with, if all goes well we will likely (but not guaranteed) offer you more work directly after that.  So there is a possibility of additional jobs following this one.



THANK YOU for reading all of that, I just want artists to be informed of what we're looking for and what they can expect of the job!  I look forward to hearing from everyone!

PS - There is a chance that it will be my husband David contacting you if you receive a note or email about this.  I just want to give people the heads up that is normal and don't be alarmed if it isn't me!
