Hey there! My name is Christopher, and I'm the author of a science fiction story called Katharsis.
I'm looking for someone who is comfortable with doing concept work for me based on the concepts that I have developed for this story. This is intended to be ongoing work.
To give you a little bit of background and an introduction into the type of story that Katharsis will be, I've written up a few loglines.
Introduction:
What if the structure of reality, the mechanics of the existence we have become familiar with, are in fact the result of a well crafted simulation?
Katharsis offers a window into the concept of the simulation hypothesis, weaving together a surreal story that challenges the way we view the nature of existence and the structure of what we consider 'reality'.
What I'm Looking For:
- Willingness to become friends, sense of humor, not easily offended (lol what is this, a dating profile? xD).
- Gallery or portfolio with science fiction art.
- Photoshop or similar design platform experience (Sai, GIMP, Krita etc. are acceptable).
- Detail Oriented (capable of creating smooth, clean, easily colorable line-art).
- Comfortability and interest in drawing organic, abstract, and technological (Sci-Fi) concepts.
- It is critical that you are a fan of science fiction (fantasy is a bonus but not required). I need you to be able to understand me when I reference ideas, concepts or tropes that are genre related.
- Coloring experience is a bonus not necessary. I am fine with uncolored line-art if that is what you are more comfortable with.
- Open to artistic direction and criticism.
- Open to revising sketches and designs.
- Capable of designing from references and written descriptions.
- Willing to chat through Discord. Voice is a plus, but not necessary.
- Dropbox or similar cloud sharing platform account. (Willing to accomodate based on whichever platform you are comfortable with).
- Willingness to set up a private stream so that I can watch and talk with you as you work is not necessary at all (I sympathize with people who can't do this), but would make me very happy hahaha.
Payment:
This is a paying job, but unfortunately I do not have a large budget. We can negotiate payment on a per single or group of concepts rate. Anything that you can offer me for free (although not expected or necessary) would be hugely, greatly, enormously appreciated as well!
All payments will be through Paypal. By me paying you, or in the case that you've agreed to draw something for me for free, you acknowledge that I have rights to use the concept artwork commercially with full credit to you as the artist. If you would be more comfortable with drafting up a contract for this, I am willing to do that.
Thank you in advance to anyone who contacts me! I look forward to working with you!
