🎨 [Art][Paid] Looking For An Artist

EDIT 3: We started working with someone!

EDIT 2: I think we got enough portfolios sent in, we will start going over them soon.

Edit 1: I’ve got a decent amount of DMs already, will take me some time to get to chat with everyone.

The Project

We have published a free (non-commercial) incremental game (prototype version) on itch called A Dark Forest sitting currently at:

• 80,000+ views
• 50,000+ web browser plays
• 100+ ratings averaging 4.7 (out of 5.0)

We are looking for an artist (human) to re-do the art (1 npc, 11 enemies, 18 items, 1 game cover image) to replace current art placeholders (edited outputs from AI) because we do not want to use AI in our project(s).

The new art does not need to follow the same design and style, but should at least keep the general idea (e.g. one of enemies is a spider-like creature) because there is narrative written in the game that relies on that.

The Payment

The game is free (non-commercial) and open source, but we did not manage to find an artist that would work on it as such (as a hobby).

Therefore, we are ready to offer payment for the art.

If you are interested, contact me on Discord “tiny_takin_teller”.
