Looking for illustrators for my space fantasy TTRPG
Hello! I am looking for artists, especially local artists in or from the Nordics, to work with in creating images and illustrations for my Tabletop Role-Playing Game, Solar Winds. Any artwork provided will be for commercial use, fully credited and payed appropriately. Rates, stylisation wishes, and further details are listed below. If you are not interested, but know someone who might be, please share this with them!
Solar Winds is a space fantasy TTRPG that draws inspiration from various Nordic myths and folklore, with an especial focus on Finnish and Sámi folklore, as well as other stories such as Star Wars. It focuses on roleplay-driven storytelling while providing an elegant structure to combat, and allowing players to traverse both stars and a multitude of climates and environments. Think heroic or epic fantasy, with the addition of being set in space and containing starships.
Artists chosen for the project will be paid 50% up front, 50% after completion. I have a total budget of about 15 000kr (NOK) (~1 300€). The project is funded by TVIBITstigen (https://tvibit.net/stigen). The budget is split between the artpieces like this:
2x Landscapes / full scenes, 3000kr each
6x Characters, 1000kr each
2x Vehicle designs, 1000kr each
Smaller sketches or concepts for weapons, armour, etc., about 500kr each (These are my estimations for how much I'm going to pay for the different kinds of artwork, though final price will be agreed upon with each artist.)
If you are interested, you should take contact! To do so, you send your portfolio, or a link to your portfolio, to my e-mail:[email protected]. (You should make sure your link does not require users to have an account to see your work.) Please also mention what kinds of artpieces you would be interested in / best suited to create, as this is big project with a variety of scenes.
I'm most interested in semi-realistic artstyles, semi-stylised artstyles, and paintings (digital or otherwise). While the artworks would need to be delivered digitally, I accept both digital and traditional artstyles for this project. You will also have an advantage if your portfolio includes some of the following subjects:
Process images or timelapses (to root out AI)
Science fiction
Diverse landscapes
Various insectoid humanoids (bug people) (this one is a massive plus)
Mechanical humanoids (droids, exos, robots, etc.)
Vehicles (starships, hoverbikes, walkers, cars, etc.) (especially if self-designed)
City streets, megacities
Action, combat, war
Post-apocalypse
Armour and weapon designs (especially if self-designed)
A mixture of fantasy and technology
Cryptids, folkloric entities
Northern lights
In addition, while anyone can apply here, I am especially looking for artists in or from the Nordic region, especially Sámi or Finnish artists, as this project takes a lot of inspiration from Sámi and Finnish folklore in particular. If you have another indigenous background, that is also an advantage!
I will accept NO AI-generated or assisted "art".
If you have any questions or comments, please ask away <3
