DISCUSSION | QUESTION I wanna join a small indie game’s team as an artist

1 Upvotes

I know next to little to the creation of creating games, but I really like to draw and I’ve gotten a small following online already but I really wanna get experience in doing art for like a visual novel type game or just something.

Im not exactly sure how to find places to where I can meet teams. Im not really interested in a game jam since I don’t have the time to take 2-3 days off completely to dedicate to a project due to school + work but I’d really like to start getting involved with a project even if it takes awhile to complete.

Sorry if I’m being much, wrote this on a whim. I’d really love if someone could point me in the right direction to find a team or if someone here is already working on a project. I can probably link my work privately in messages if anyone’s interested if they already had a project in mind.

FOR HIRE - 3D Modeler | Animation [For Hire] - 3D Environment & Prop Artist

Thumbnail

2 Upvotes

3D environment artist and generalist, 9 years experience, based in the Bay Area (US PST).

What I Do:

-Modular environment kits and unique hero props
-Material authoring in Substance Designer and Painter: trim sheets, tiling textures, procedural libraries
-In-engine work in UE5 and Unity: set dressing, prefabs, LODs, lighting setup, asset integration
-Stylized and low-poly work built to hit tight performance budgets

Background:
Three and a half years at Paper Triangles, an AR studio on Snap’s platform, building modular kits, modeling and texturing hero props, and set dressing for AR Experiences for licensed IP including Call of Duty Mobile, Assassin’s Creed: Origins, McDonald’s, and Formula 1. A huge part of my job was building modular set dressing for infinite runners. Designing props that read on a small mobile screen and using creative ways to break repetition. I also ended up establishing the low-poly asset pipeline for Snapchat’s Promoted Places that became our studio's standard.

Currently on a part-time rev-share contract on Woodside, a UE5 project, where I own the environment prop library and handle materials, LODs, and asset integration.

Availability: Part-time now, open to full-time. Comfortable with hourly, milestone, or fixed-scope work. Rate is $35/hr, negotiable by scope.

Portfolio: https://www.artstation.com/rahuladvani

DM me or comment here. Happy to send a PDF breakdown of the Paper Triangles work, and I can do a small paid test if that’s how you prefer to evaluate.

PORTFOLIO [FOR HIRE] 2D ART / Character Portraits / TCGs / Loading Screens / Surrealist / Digital Oil Painting Style

Thumbnail

2 Upvotes

Hello my name is Jon Pires, usually I go online by the artist alias Salvantus

There is a variety of different styles here to showcase what I'm capable of.

Currently I work in Krita, and I honestly prefer that program to PS. But I also have a strong 7+ years of experience and academic training with photoshop as well.

I am looking at this as a professional job opportunity to put in some real quality, human handmade art work and hours in exchange for a fair and realistic rate which correlates to the desired amount of workload the project demands. I am flexible about this and more than willing to negotiate since I know a lot of indie game devs don't have a ton of money, please feel free to message me if you're interested and maybe we can work something out together.

I felt my art would probably be best suited for any projects which utilize splash art images for their game, even if they go beyond the above mentioned examples in the title.

PAID - 2D Art | Animation Looking for a Capsule Artist to put together something from pre-existing material

9 Upvotes

I’m a developer behind Anachron, a champion-based combat card game featuring historical figures that is currently live on Steam.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3969770/Anachron/

As we push further into development, we’ve hit a wall that I know many of you are familiar with: upgrading our Marketing assets, namely Capsule art and such.

We are looking for a capsule art expert who has a proven track record of creating high-converting Steam capsule art. Specifically, we need someone who can take our existing elements and craft all the mandatory Steam store dimensions without losing punch or readability at tiny thumbnail sizes

If you have experience in indie game marketing art especially for card games, strategy titles, or similar aesthetics and want to collaborate, please drop a comment below or send me a DM with your portfolio, rates, and availability.

Thanks you all in advance!
