For an upcoming game of us (similar to Legend of Grimrock - a screenshot of our current prototype is attached) we are looking for an outstanding 2D artist (freelancer) with exceptional skills in creating beautiful fantasy environments, characters and some game GUI's.

The current job is just for making our current game prototype a little bit more presentable. The budget for this job is 500$ (payment via PayPal) - and this needs to be done:

- a game starting screen in 1920x1080 and 2048x1536
- a game main menu screen in 1920x1080 and 2048x1536
- the ingame GUI screen with a rotatable compass in 1920x1080 and 2048x1536 (similar to the look of the attached, third image)
- an inventory menu, fitting into the ingame GUI on the right side (you will get a rough template for the basic setup of this GUI, similar to the look of the attached, second image)
- a beautiful screen for presentation purposes in 1920x1080 and 2048x1536
- 4 different character portrait icons in 512x512

This is only the first step. Currently the game's storyline and dialogues are being developed by a professional writer. After the story is final a roadmap will be created with all the images that needs to be done for visualizing the storyline and all the ingame events. So, if your artstyle is in line with our expectations, the follow up job will be a lot more work.

Interested? Then please send a mail to: axel [at] fancy-factory [dot] com with some details about you, your recent work and maybe a link to your portfolio.

Thanks in advance!

Regards, Axel

Thanks a lot for all your applications! Sorry if I have not answered your mail (yet) as I'm still "collecting". The job has been extended and split into 3 parts now: game GUI, character portraits and story visualization.

For the former 2 part's artists have been assigned now. So for this I need no new applications. But for the visualization of the game's story I'm still looking for talented artists. As the story is not finished yet the final decision will still take some time, but you are welcome to make an offer. As soon as I have a roadmap ready I will contact the most promising candidates! The job will contain a lot of "small" pictures, maybe between 40 to 60, showing several events, persons, places and scenery - key events from the storyline. The resolution of each image will be about 720x480, maybe less, maybe more...this depends on your style.

I'm looking for a special "fantasy style" if such thing exists. Please take a look at the attached pictures from early 90's games and transform them into the year 2012. This is what I'm looking for.

Thanks again for your interest!!

Hi,

I want to give this thread a short bump: as the project got delayed by several months due to the release of another game of mine my request is still relevant. I already got a lot of applications (thanks a lot for all your mails!) and the job has not been assigned yet.

In detail I'm still looking for the following images:

However, the size of these images is finally 1135x665 (not 720x480 as mentioned above). Your images will be used to visualize the game's story and events and are the most important part of the entire project.

And important: please don't forget to include your asking price for this job in your mail! As I have not decided yet how many story screen I can afford the best is to tell me the costs per image. As an independent developer I can not pay the best prices in the industry, but I'm willing to pay good money for good work.

Thanks!

As a hardcore fan of the old D&D RPG's this is definitely a project I look forward to seeing come to the mobile phone! Good luck!
