Position Filled [Hiring] SEEKING SEMI-REALISTIC FANTASY CHARACTER ARTIST - $7,500+

117 Upvotes

Long-Term Project | 50+ Paid Commissions

PLEASE ONLY APPLY IF YOU HAVE THE TIME, AVAILABILITY, AND COMMITMENT TO TAKE ON A LONG-TERM PROJECT.

I’m looking to hire one or more highly skilled digital artists for a large fantasy character project.

This is not a speculative project. I'm finance ready, and every illustration commissioned will be paid work.

Initially, I’m looking to commission approximately 50 half-body character illustrations. The initial phase of the project represents approximately US$7,500 in commissioned artwork, with the potential to exceed US$15,000 as the project expands beyond the first 50 characters.

My goal is to establish a long-term working relationship with one or more artists over the next 12–24 months.

The initial 50 illustrations should ideally be completed by February 2027. As a general guide, I’m looking for artists who can consistently deliver a minimum of five completed illustrations per month, although a faster turnaround is certainly welcome.

THE PROJECT

Characters will include:

  • Male and female fantasy characters
  • Non-human races and creatures (big bonus)
  • Armour, weapons and fantasy equipment
  • Fantasy clothing and accessories
  • Semi-realistic fantasy artwork

No backgrounds are required—character artwork only.

FACIAL LIKENESS IS THE #1 PRIORITY

This project is not simply about creating attractive fantasy characters.

Every illustration will be based on reference photographs, and I need an artist who excels at accurately recreating:

  • Facial structure
  • Expressions
  • Distinctive facial features
  • Overall likeness
  • Consistency across multiple commissions

The ability to make someone instantly recognizable.

WHAT I’M LOOKING FOR

  • Strong examples of both male and female characters
  • Excellent facial likeness recreation
  • Ability to accurately work from photo references
  • Consistent quality across dozens of illustrations
  • Experience drawing armour, weapons and fantasy clothing
  • Professional communication and reliable turnaround times

Applications that do not include examples of both male and female characters will not be considered.

Please note this project is looking for semi-realistic fantasy artwork, not heavily anime, manga, or stylised artwork.

Please do not submit AI-generated artwork or portfolios containing AI-generated materials.

Reliability is just as important as artistic ability. I’d much rather work with someone who consistently delivers five exceptional illustrations every month than someone who promises ten and struggles to meet deadlines.

TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS

  • Digital artwork only
  • 300 DPI required
  • CMYK preferred for print compatibility
  • PSD, TIFF or PDF preferred (flexible)

WORKFLOW

Each illustration will generally follow this process:

  1. Character brief and reference photographs supplied
  2. Sketch approval
  3. Final rendering and delivery

Batch workflows are perfectly acceptable and are likely the most efficient approach.

PAYMENT

This is a paid organization project.

Payment will be made on a per-illustration basis:

  • 50% upfront
  • 50% upon completion and approval

PayPal or Wise preferred.

TO APPLY

Please include:

  • Portfolio link
  • Fantasy character examples
  • Examples demonstrating strong facial likeness recreation
  • Examples featuring both male and female characters
  • Examples of armour, weapons, or semi-realistic fantasy artwork
  • Please don't DM, respond here or I won't reply.

I expect to commission several paid test pieces before selecting the artist(s) for the long-term project.

I’m looking to build a long-term relationship with artists who communicate well, consistently deliver exceptional work, and can maintain the same style and quality across a large body of work.

I look forward to seeing your portfolios!

IF INTERESTED, POST A COMMENT HERE WITH YOUR PORTFOLIO AND THEN DM ME. I WILL NOT ANSWER A DM UNLESS YOU HAVE A COMMENT IN THIS POST. + am perfectly fine with and encourage you to use the end product to promote your art since this is a big job

Hey there! This'll be my first time trying to commission a piece of art of this nature so please be patient with a fella who is not really up to date on all of the artist jargon or price ranges.

The photos shown are to help explain the ideas that I want. I am not attached to this art style and am open to anything that is not hyper realistic or 3D. But I do have a preference for 2D Anime styles.

The photos you see above come from the manga series, The Witch and the Beast. One of my favorite pieces of media of all time. I have created a D&D character recently that I want to capture the aesthetic of having those temporary runes form on their skin during spellcasting.

She is a perfume tycoon from a noble house and an Ancestral (UA) Sorcerer. I want whatever design to reflect this. The image I provided is for a general idea, but I would like whatever you come up with to be more ornate and higher class in terms of clothing.

Here's what I want in total:

2 Full Body Front/Back
1 Full Body - Casting with the skin runes
2-4 Half Body detailing different facial expressions
1 Facial Tattoo and 1 Body Tattoo
Accessories - Signet ring, house crest, perfume vials (on a bandolier or otherwise), hairpin, censer
Unique Clothing Design reflective of her profession

You will have large creative liberty on character design since I only have a general idea of what this character looks like and the rest is mostly up to you.

General appearance:

Human
Female
Blonde
Blue eyes

Payment will be received through Paypal in USD.

Position Filled [Hiring] Art for a DND character, $350 maximum budget

60 Upvotes

I have a DnD campaign starting next month on the 19th. I am looking for an artist that is comfortable with high-fantasy art specifically, erring on a more realistic style. Anime-related styles will not fit the character.

The character is not perfectly set in stone (PF2e bloodline stuff not established yet), but her concept is in place already as an elf/sorcerer, with an extensive backstory.

The campaign takes place in the Eberron setting, starting in Q'barra.

I will likely not reach out directly to an artist until tomorrow night (pst) or Monday before noon, depending on when I have time to fully finalize the character.

This is for personal use (will hang in our house in a A2 or A1 format so it will need to be HD for printing). The hard deadline would be beginning of November.

53 Upvotes

Hello everyone!

I am currently expanding a personal creative universe and looking for a talented digital illustrator to bring a diverse roster of original characters to life. My goal is to commission a cohesive batch of 5 individual character concepts, each with a distinct personality, dynamic pose, and strong visual identity.

Because establishing a consistent art direction is key for this project, I am looking to collaborate with an artist who has a strong grasp of stylized character design.

Project Scope & Financials

  • Deliverables: High-resolution digital files (.PNG/.JPG) along with the fully layered source files (.PSD or equivalent) and full commercial rights transfer for the commissioned artwork.
  • Compensation: $100 USD per character, totaling a $500 USD budget for the initial batch. (Open to discussing bundle pricing or milestones if preferred).
  • Payment Method: Secure transaction via PayPal, Wise, or Stripe.

Character Concepts & Brief

  • Scope: A total of 5 distinct original characters spanning different archetypes (ranging from tech/tactical and fantasy to casual and grounded designs).
  • Process: To keep the post clean, the full character briefs, lore notes, and visual references will be shared privately with the selected artist to ensure a smooth collaborative workflow.
  • (Note: I am fully open to your creative input and stylistic flair to make these designs pop!)

How to Apply

If your portfolio matches this aesthetic and you are interested in this collaboration, please submit your application via Direct Message (DM) or comments with the following details:

  1. Portfolio Link: Direct link to your relevant work (ArtStation, Behance, or Instagram). Please do not link generic homepages.
  2. Turnaround Time: Your estimated completion time per character.
  3. Confirmation Word: Please include the keyword "CYBER" at the very beginning of your message to confirm you have read through the requirements.

Thank you, and I look forward to reviewing your fantastic portfolios!

Position Filled [HIRING] Large DND Party Final Battle Illustration - $500+ Budget

Thumbnail

192 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I am a DM to an awesome DnD party! My party and I are getting to the end of a 4-year long campaign this June. To commemorate this I want to commission an art piece of their final battle that. It will be the 7 players and a puma, and 1-3 fiends as enemies.

My budget $500-$1000, but I understand the complexity of this piece, so more could be negotiated.

I have descriptions and sketches of all the characters and setting involved that I will go into detail when discussing the price.

Ideally, I would like the art style to be like that of the DnD book cover arts I have included in this post, but I could be persuaded to a different art style if I like it.

It is the end of a very special journey for me and my friends, and I want this piece to be something I look at in the future and remember all the good times.

I hope to hear from you all.

PS. I will not look at DMs unless you also post here, and will be looking at your portfolios before making a decision.

I have no deadline for this project, looking to have them put in a tavern setting. we are just using it for ourselves to have the memory of these particular characters.

they would all be humanoids, possibly dragonborn

I have a very loose idea, them interacting with one another at a tavern table. they would have equipment and armor on.

Position Filled [Hiring] Lead Character Artist for upcoming visual novel video game!

62 Upvotes

[Post Update]: Position filled! (main character artist)

Hello!

*Side Note: This post is for filling the role of the main character artist for a visual novel video game. If you are a background artist, UI artist, or would feel more comfortable working on visual novel CGs rather than character sprites: You’re more than welcome to reach out at this time as well, and I will sort through any / all of those responses when looking to fill those specific positions in the near future. (Please just include “background artist”, “UI artist”, “CG artist”, etc. in the beginning of your response accordingly.)

Budget (for character artist): $1,000-5,000 USD (very flexible, Revshare possible but not preferred)

——-

I’m a writer (and I guess now, technically, “game director”?) located in the US (Pacific time zone, general Los Angeles, CA area, English first language).

I have a fully completed / edited manuscript (as well as all the written game / scene direction) for a story I’ve written, to be turned into a “visual novel” or “point-and-click” style video game (think the Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney Trilogy, the Danganronpa games, etc.) and I’m currently looking to fill the position of the lead character artist for the game.

To clarify some things, without getting into the details of the story:

There are a total of 22 characters in the game, each of which would need multiple different “sprites” drawn of them to express differing general emotions (again, see games like the Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney games, the Danganronpa games, or most any visual novel games to get a general idea of what I’m referring to.)

This visual novel is over 600,000 words long, and all of the writing for the entire game is fully complete. (Estimated over ~60 hours of playtime for a full playthrough of the game.)

This is absolutely not an “18+” game, or an “H-game”, or an “adult game”, etc.

There are no excessively violent scenes or gore in the game, but it should be pointed out that multiple characters do pass away throughout the story. (Again, without diving into the details of the story, multiple, unfortunate deaths do take place.)

Of the 22 characters, there is a pretty even split between male and female characters with differing body types (just clarifying this in case any artists only specialize in / feel confident in drawing female characters, for example.)

All of the characters are 100% human in appearance. There are no animal characters, and none of the characters have any animal-like features (tails, animal ears, etc.). There is no meccha, no complex “suits of armor”, etc.

——

With those brief details in mind:

This is, of course, 100% fully paid work, and I am looking for someone who is not only interested in working on this project but also confident / comfortable in taking on the role of drawing multiple, differing sprites for over 20 characters. (In other words, I’m aware that this is a pretty large cast of characters, so please keep that in mind when taking this project into consideration!)

Anyone using “AI” in any part of their “work process” need not apply or reach out. (I humbly ask that you respect my views on this and do not waste either of our time. Thank you.)

——-

Finally, if you think you’d be interested:

Please reach out to me directly below this post! (I’ve been advised to not handle initial communication through direct messages or email.) Please, to keep everything organized in one place, I ask that you simply leave a response below.

When reaching out:

I’d greatly appreciate if you could clarify “Character Artist” in the beginning of your response. (Again, just to keep everything as organized as possible, for my own sake.)

I’d greatly appreciate if you could please directly attach a few visual examples of some of your work that might be relevant to this project (character art).

(If you have any games / visual novels / anything else that you’ve worked on in the past, I’d definitely love if you could mention that or include a direct link to that as well!) I would absolutely love to work with someone who’s worked on this exact sort of thing in the past!

(*Also, feel free to directly link or list any of your social media accounts / artist websites in your response if I’d be able to see some more examples of your work in any of those places!)

With your message and some examples of your work, I’d also greatly appreciate if you could please include your rates / pricing for this type of work as a character artist.
(22 human characters, let’s say 5 or less differing emotions per character.)
*General visual references / character designs are already set for each of the characters, but of course I look forward to welcoming and encouraging your own, individual art style and original ideas as well!*

—-

Again, (just to clarify), this is 100% paid work. This is what I have been / will be working on full-time, and it is also being fully funded out of my own pocket. It would mean the world to me to work with someone who is not only capable of taking on such a large task but also genuinely cares about what they’re doing as well. (Again, I hate that I have to clarify this, but please: Absolutely no “AI” whatsoever.)

In other words: This is not a post for an unpaid fan project or a side project. (Absolutely 100% nothing but love for all the awesome “fan projects” out there and anything that ever started as a “side project”!) As such, I hope for this game to be fully completed and ready to be released as soon as possible, while of course prioritizing quality over a rushed “final product”.
-Again, the entire story for the game is 100% completed, edited, organized, and ready to be shipped (all dialogue, direction, etc.)

—-

With all of that being said, thank you so much for skimming through this excessively long post of mine, and I truly hope to hear from you soon!

I hope this will be the start of many great things to come. Please, look forward to it!

*End Note: I had originally planned on requesting that any responses be handled solely through email rather than through direct responses to this post, so please forgive me if asking for your current pricing / rates or asking for links to your social media is not allowed. Regardless, I’m sure we can discuss those things privately as a next step when the time comes!

All the best,
-KM

Position Filled [Hiring] $100+ Rough concept sketches for character design

58 Upvotes

I'm looking for an artist who can sketch some designs for a character I have in mind - I provide details of their style, anatomy, the influences I'd like applied, and for the artist to fill in the blanks or take some liberties.

I don't have an exact idea in my head of how this should look, so I'm looking to pay someone to draft some options up, and be open to a bit of back-and-forth. Given it's a bit of a loose request of concept art, I'm happy to pay upfront if you're a reliable artist on here.

I'm not looking for any final linework or full colour yet. I hope this is a reasonable request, in my head as a non-artist this is easier than a finished product but if I'm underestimating the work here, please let me know. This is a design I'd end up commissioning in full another time (for private use), but for now I'm just looking to create a hard reference point for his appearance.

This is a fantasy character, an angelic god from a D&D setting, so having some work done in that kind of high-fantasy space would be ideal but certainly not required. Budget is flexible.

Hello,

Main purpose is for a discord profile photo, but i wanted to get a full/half image with a warm style, preferably no/little hard black lines. Maybe two images?

Other image might be my character smiling and chewing on a fish on a stick and a turkey leg in each hand, this one not looking at the camera but looking slightly angled off in a direction. She is happy and content in both images.

I do art recreationally but unfortunately I dont feel like im at the level or style I desire. Please post your art style in the comments and i will contact you. I can provide a better images and discuss details and payment once chosen. Please no dming.

Thank you!

Edit: I will review all the comments after 2 full days to consider all my options.

Edit 2: i will be commenting on the ones that ill be coming back to tomorrow for after i review and then give some thoughts to. There are so many requests to get to. Providing relevant image would be helpful. Thank you.

Edit 3: i am locking this post at midnight pdt to decide as there has been a ton of responses. Thank you everyone for posting~!

Position Filled [Hiring] Author Looking to Redo Book Covers. $100-$1000 Budget, Depending on Which Project (lots of covers need redoing).

61 Upvotes

Hi, I'm a Dark MM Sci-Fi romance writer looking to get some of my book covers redone for various reasons. Because of this, I have a couple of projects that need to be done, including a very popular stand-alone book. Covers would have a single male character on them, portrait style. I'm looking specifically for drawn covers/artwork.

Each book/series is a little different, and for some I would like it if the drawings could be similar to the original design--these original covers were done using stock photos, clip art, etc., and weren't hand-drawn by another artist. I promise I'm not asking anyone to copy another artist's work, just to be clear. But all covers are basically of a single male character from the chest or shoulders up. From the waist up is fine as well, that can be discussed. Would like there to be some level of skill in backgrounds, but I won't demand anything super intricate in that regard.

I have a decent-sized budget and am willing to pay for quality work, but these are projects I would like to have done before the end of the year, at the latest.

Position Filled [Hiring] 340 USD / 300 Euro Max. Warhammer 40k, Tech-Priest of the Inquisition

55 Upvotes

Hello there !

As I've said in the post title, I'm looking to create a new art for my Inquisitorial Tech-Priest !

It's an established ttrpg character from Dark Heresy 2e, with a commission already been done previously by an artist found here (If you're recognizing yourself, love ya man), with 20+ references for my ideas to reflect their transformation, now that they've been publicly revealed as part of the Inquisition.

It would be a full-body art of digital art, preferably, with no deadline, meant to be a commission for my character in a campaign with friends. I do not need any commercial rights.

An extra will be added, with a price to be discussed, for a token border for said ttrpg campaign.

I'm not sure what I'm looking for an artstyle. However, I do think that something gritty, to reflect the grim darkness of the 42nd millenia would be best.

If you do have a different artstyle, and still feel like you would be a good candidate for the project, hit me up in the comments.

Knowledge of the 40k universe is a bonus, so is previous art in this universe as well. None are mandatory, however.

What is mandatory, however, is a link to your portfolio. Could be an instagram account, but I will contact you on that medium and not through Reddit, for verification purpose.

I'm sorry if this is too light of a post, as I do not really know what to say and not to. Any clarification or question will be edited into the post.

Hello! I run a YouTube channel where I produce long-form documentary videos about Italian history, and I am currently looking for artists interested in working on my ongoing project.

Each chapter of my documentaries opens with a short animated sequence, usually about one minute long. These sequences are created by arranging a series of illustrations in succession, with some simple camera movement and animation added during editing.

I am not looking for highly detailed, fully rendered paintings. What I need are coloured sketches that can clearly convey the scene, mood, and historical atmosphere in a traditional, painterly style. Keeping the illustrations somewhat loose also helps make the project more manageable in terms of both production time and budget.

I usually prepare simple storyboards for each sequence, mainly to communicate the general composition, subject, and number of illustrations required, so that a clear vision may be achieved. However, I always want to leave the artist plenty of creative freedom in how the scenes are interpreted and composed.

Mastery of both character work and landscape painting is required, experience in historically accurate armour and clothes from the 14th century is highly appreciated, but not a must, I personally compile reference folders for every single scene to achieve historical accuracy.

This is a paid commission which could lead to long term employment. Please leave a comment or send me a private message with your portfolio and rates so we could discuss the project in more detail.

Thank you!

Personal use, need a redesign for my oc here ^

New design will still keep her features (face, body type, skin colour), tho most of it is designing an outfit and possibly a hairstyle change while keeping the original hair colour and texture. I'll provide more refs when commissioning.

Looking for:

  • Concept sketch ideas (3?)
  • Flat coloured or rendered final design

concept

  • Fantasy character design
  • I can consider any artstyle but semi-realism is preferred
  • Deadline is 2-3 weeks / 14-21 days
  • Budget $220<, 50/50 payment
  • Payment is through VGen / Wise / Paypal or Ko-Fi

Please also have character design examples in your portfolio! A price sheet or an estimated price would be really helpful. Please don't raise prices to meet my max budget. I cannot consider commissioning if I don't see character design examples or if you haven't drawn any fantasy characters before.

Please be able to work within the deadline, I've just had some bad experiences in the past with communication, so I do prefer an artist who is happy to communicate and respects the deadline.

I'll be crossposting this until I find the right artist, you don't need to comment twice if you see my ad again. Thank you!

Position Filled [Hiring] DND Character Art

Hey all!

I am looking for someone to create a Tarot-card sized, stylistic representation of my DND character, Sunny River Moonbrook! Our campaign of 2 years just ended, and while I have art of the party, I would really like to have some detailed art of just her! The purpose is very much to represent her in her entirety, and I really want as accurate a representation of her of possible.

Sunny River Moonbrook is a half-elf vengeance cleric and necromancer wizard (though she started as a warlock haha) who serves two homebrew gods (Abaddon - Father of Darkness and the Deep Earth aka caverns, and the primordial god of death). Her primary goal is to be the best archaeologist in the world, and she will do everything needed to accomplish that goal. I included some references I found on Pinterest, and wrote out a character description and her general appearance.

I prefer an illustrative style (not anime) that is semi-realistic (i.e., not cartoony) that captures the essence of my character (think graphic novel?). I would like strong and cohesive color work (if I had to say Sunny was a color, I always imagined her as red, if that helps). I prefer art that has a strong concept rather than just placing a character in a scene and calling it a day. I'll also say that while getting the details of the character is important, I am of course willing to sacrifice some things in the name of a better end product. If you feel strongly about a concept, please share!

My budget would preferably stay in the $200-$400 USD range, though I am willing to flex if needed. Please comment on this post, as I won't be accepting messages.

Position Filled [HIRING] 12 Illustrations. ~$2,000-3,000 total, incl. rights.

82 Upvotes

Hi all. I'm looking to hire an artist for a series of 12 landscape-focused illustrations in a low-fantasy setting.

Artist requirements: 
- Expertise in landscapes and environments.
- Proficiency in character work. 
- Proficiency needed in nighttime lighting, character posing, camera placement and composition.
- Ability to draw European fantasy settings and contemporary American settings. 
- Ability to draw from written descriptions. (will provide references for most, but this ability may be needed) 
- Ability to maintain stylistic consistency across all 12 illustrations.
- Style: realism, semi-realism, painterly, 'concept art,' watercolor, or a distinctive personal style. No anime or chibi.
- Digital or traditional. Traditional is welcome, but finished pieces need high-quality scans.
- Willingness to join a voice call, if needed.
- Reasonable promptness during the project. 

Rights & usage:
- I am looking to either buy the copyright outright, or sign an exclusive commercial license.
- In either case, you may use the art for promotional/portfolio purposes, after a set embargo. I will credit you wherever the artwork is posted.

Budget, payment & timeline:
- My budget is $3,000 for all 12 illustrations, including commercial rights. To be clear, this is the maximum. I'll weigh quality, fit, and *value* together.
- Timeline: Approximately 6 months, but this is not a hard timeline.
- Payment: I prefer Zelle, but I am willing to use PayPal. Payment will be per illustration: 50% upon sketch approval, and 50% upon completion. 
- I'd like to start with one paid trial illustration before committing to the full set. 

(As confirmation of your having read through this posting, include a heart emoji in your message.)

Deliverables:
- High-resolution files suitable for print. (specs discussed with you, think 300 DPI digital and 600 for traditional)
- Revisions as needed, per illustration. (within reason)

To apply, leave a message on this post with all of the following:
- Your portfolio or relevant samples. (There must be at least one landscape provided)
- Your price expectation.
- Your rough availability over the next ~6 months.
- Discord contact info/willingness to provide such.
- Anything else you'd want me to know.

I am open to negotiating these points. If you generally fit the criteria, only failing on one or two requirements, feel free to contact me regardless. If any of my terms are a deal-breaker, similarly, reach out and see if we can work out a compromise.

As a heads up, I intend to make my decision by end of day 7/17.

I'll have written references and descriptions ready for the places and characters once we connect. Thanks for reading, and I look forward to hearing from you.

EDIT: Please do not add me on discord. Please wait to be contacted by me.
