Looking for artist - cheap

[aramis]

Cryton and I are looking for art for our 1st OGL/FFL Traveller supplement.

Subject matter is our Svarvatti (which can be previewed in the moot) - black skinned space elves is the concept - with traveller tech.

Preferred formats: vector images in .png or .svg formats

Final version will be commercially released.

Our art budget is VERY limited. (This is, after all, a hobby project for us).

What we want: perpetual non-royalty non-exclusive multi-format single use rights.
Perpetual non-royalty: we pay ONCE per product, for as long as that product gets sold.
Non-Exclusive: you can sell rights to others
multi-format: dead tree, PDF, epub, and all their future replacement formats are all the "same product"
single use rights: each discrete product. So, to reuse in Svarvatti Prime, we'd need to pay you again.

We will include the artists' copyright notices on work and in the credits. If a particular artist contributes significant amounts of work, an Illustrator credit will be added.

I am willing to colorize B&W outline work.

PM me or Cryton.

Is there a deadline?

Is there a deadline?

No, not particularly.... We're going to get it ready, then probably do the PDF on DTRPG, and if it's well received, then do a print run.

Functionally, I'd like to have art by end of January, but it's not a hard and fast rule.

Your format choices suggest an illustration / cartoon look rather than 3D rendered.

Is that correct?

 

[Cryton]

Correct.

I expressly will reject 3D renders other than deckplans - we're looking either cell shaded or line-art for stylistic reasons. (Plus, at how little capital we have, our art budget wouldn't cover more than one...) And deckplans I'll be doing myself, possibly with Cryton's input via skype.

So, yes, realistic comic-style. we've got one interested party who PM'd me, and I know his artistic vision is excellent; we'll consider raster images, but for sizing reasons, I don't want to put too much raster work in, and further, if at all possible, I like the scalability of vector work.
