Hi! I'm an independent designer looking for an illustrator for my tabletop RPG, Smilodon, set in a Stone Age world. Players take on the roles of hominid hunter-gatherers in a weird, prehistoric world — pulpy and action-oriented, with combat, rival tribes, sabretooth cats, mammoths, and yes... dinosaurs. What I need: - 1 cover illustration - 10 interior illustrations (spots / half-page) Style: Pencil-sketch / graphite. Rough, textured, hand-drawn black-and-white line work — No AI-generated work, please. Some ideas for illustrations (not set in stone): Mammoth hunt Cannibals chasing a hapless Neanderthal Cryptic Cave paintings Flint knapping / tool-making, or a collection of tools An eldritch shaman / ritual scene Saber-toothed cat encounter Playable hominids (Erectus, Habilis, Neanderthal, and Sapiens, in a "Usual Suspects" style lineup. Disastrous rope bridge crossing. T-Rex storming the camp Tribal gathering / campfire storytelling Budget: $1,000 total for the cover + 10 illustrations. Payment terms to be discussed with the artist. Terms: - Full commercial rights for print and digital, unlimited use. You're welcome to include the work in your portfolio. - Files: 300 DPI, print-ready (PNG + source/PSD). - Process: start with ONE paid interior piece as a style test. If it clicks, we green-light the rest. - Revisions: up to 2 rounds at the sketch stage per piece. To apply: drop a link to your portfolio plus 2–3 samples that show pencil/sketch work with people, animals, or natural settings, your availability, and your estimated turnaround.   submitted by   /u/Brilliant_Ad_4311 [link]   [comments]
