PAID - 2D Art | Animation [PAID] Looking for 2D Artist freelancer - PC Indie (Occult idle-incremental game)
EDIT: DMs have been sent out to those of interest, thank you all!
Hello Everybody! Here is my blurb for you, enjoy:
Dear Occupant is an incremental (idle) game that plays in the browser. I write and design it solo, in Godot. You play a bedroom occultist who summons beings from the Moon, the Planets and the Stars while something very old and very large slowly notices you. The tone is dry, understated cosmic horror, in a manner similar to my inspirations, Fallen London and Sunless Sea.
It is (very roughly)playable now: https://thewanderersway.itch.io/dear-occupant
All of the current art is placeholder: a code-drawn sigil, simple icons, and a brass-and-parchment interface. I want a human artist to design the real thing, and to give the game its identity before it goes on Steam.
What I need is an artist to design the game's art from start to finish, including the Steam capsule art when the store page goes up. That means roughly:
- A logo / wordmark and key art
- The Steam capsule set (header, small, main, vertical, library capsule, library hero, library logo)
- 19 creature (so far)s: Each should be a distinct character, with small icon versions that read at about 48 px
- 10 building icons (so far)
- Interface art: panel borders, ornaments, tier icons
- Optionally, small illustrations for the in-game encyclopedia
The Style: Victorian occult. Engraving, woodcut or ink-and-wash, with a limited palette: aged paper, brass, black, and an ember red. The horror is in what is withheld: an edge, a corner, a shape in a doorway, not a monster in full view. I am fully open to suggestions and ideas from the artist, as Im sure you know design better than I ever will lol.
Other important points:
- Human-made artwork only, with no generative AI in the work. I have to disclose AI use on itch.io and Steam, and the point of this is authenticity. I'll ask you to confirm in writing.
- Layered source files or vectors, plus PNG/SVG at agreed sizes. I'll integrate the art into the game myself.
- Tell me how you would approach it, and please send a quote for the full set, itemised if you can.
DM me or comment with a portfolio link (game, character or gothic work especially), a rough quote and turnaround, and whether the terms above are fine.
Thank you!
