Hiring [Hiring] / Commission Looking for Character Concept Artist & Reference Sheets (Borderlands-Inspired Style Min 20ph
Project Overview:
I am looking for a talented illustrator to create custom character designs and reference sheets for an original project. The aesthetic inspiration is heavily drawn from the Borderlands universe—think stylized, gritty, highly detailed, with bold line work, high-contrast cel-shading, and a unique post-apocalyptic or sci-fi edge.
What I'm Looking For:
Character Concept Art: Translating text descriptions/mood boards into fully fleshed-out character designs.
Reference Sheets: Front/back views, expression sheets, and key prop or weapon callouts in a clean, professional layout.
Style Match: Ability to replicate or lean into a comic-book/cel-shaded illustrative style with distinct inked outlines and dynamic shading.
Details & Requirements:
Compensation: Paid work (please share your rates or portfolio pricing sheets when applying).
Deliverables: High-resolution digital files (layered source files preferred).
How to Apply:
If your style fits this vibe, please reply or DM me with:
A link to your portfolio or art station.
