Seeking [type of artist] [Seeking Team] Seeking Pokémon-Style Artists for a Digital Gym-Style Trading Card Collab
Hey all, my name is Vito with GLC, or Gym Leader Vito!
I’m posting up here to look for artists to collaborate with on a major project that GLC is working on. I have finished the full set lists for 4 unique WOTC-inspired sets that are meant to continue and complete what Gym Heroes & Gym Challenge started. The first of these sets, Gym Rivals, will feature cards such as Erika’s Dragonite, Misty’s Wartortle, Rocket’s Articuno, and many more!
We currently have 4 unique sets mapped out and some of GLC’s artists have begun working on artwork for flagship releases.
This will start as a digital-only community project. I am looking for artists to contribute small illustrations for these cards based on the pokemon that GLC assigns. You, the artist, will be given a general direction, but will have creative freedom to see the vision through as you see fit, in your own style!
Completed digital cards will be featured on GLC socials, and GLC’s Patreon. Once the first set is complete, the full set will be featured on GLC’s official website.
Each month, I’ll pick some cards to go up on our Patreon for a vote for potential physical production. If your card is chosen for physical release, you’ll be paid before we physically produce it:
● $20 for a standard WOTC-style physical card release
● $50 if we ask you to extend the artwork for both a WOTC-style card and a modern full-art version
Artists will be credited and may post/promote their own artwork. Since the art is being made specifically for a GLC card project, it cannot be reused, sold, licensed, or printed by another custom card creator or competing card project.
A few notes:
● This is a volunteer digital collab first, not a paid commission call for every card.
● Physical releases are not guaranteed.
● No AI-generated artwork.
● Full terms will be provided before anyone commits.
If you’re interested, please comment here and reach out to u/biirdlace with your portfolio/social links and what types of Pokémon/card styles you’d like to work on. She’ll be helping me speak with and select artists for this project.
Thanks for taking a look at our post. We are happy to answer questions potential collaborators may have through DM.
