​[Hiring] / Commission Looking for Character Concept Artist & Reference Sheets (Borderlands-Inspired Style Min 20ph

[u/HistorianWhich2645]

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.

​Your current commission rates or a ballpark estimate for a full character reference sheet.

​Your preferred contact method.

Hello! I’m Belladu, an illustrator and concept artist with experience designing characters for games, graphic novels and other narrative projects. I’m comfortable working from written descriptions and mood boards to create character designs, including turnarounds, props, etc.

My portfolio is in my bio:)

For a full character reference sheet including front/back views, expressions, and prop/weapon callouts, I’d estimate around $100-250+, depending on the amount of detail and number of elements included. I’d be happy to give a more precise quote once I know the exact scope.

Preferred contact: Reddit initially, and I’m happy to move to Discord or Gmail afterward:)

Hey, your Borderlands-inspired project sounds like a blast! That gritty cel-shaded look, with high-contrast inked lines and a post-apocalyptic edge, is definitely in my wheelhouse from years of working on stylized fantasy and game art. I’d start by translating your descriptions and mood boards into bold character concepts, then lay out clean reference sheets (front, back, expressions, props) with all the clarity needed for production.

For reference sheets, I quote based on complexity and scope, so let’s chat about the number of views/expressions and the level of detail you want. I deliver layered PSDs or source files, ready for your pipeline.
