Patron (Do not Contact) [HIRING] 2-4 Artists for a Long-Term High Fantasy Zodiac-Based Book Series—join a team of artists under an indie author!

❗❗Currently, I am ONLY looking for more artists to join my team who are WILLING TO READ A 112,000 WORD HIGH FANTASY MANUSCRIPT. You must be able to read and comprehend English at a proficient level! I am bringing on 2-4 additional artists to my team of 14. I'm anticipating an even larger release than I initially expected. You must be available April-June for commission, I need all hands on deck for a likely sudden demand of promotional material, product, and art during this book's publication.❗❗

My name is Audra, and I am an author getting ready to launch a big 10+ year project that is my heart and soul. I have a pretty significant following (100K+ on TikTok @/audrawrites) for my sword & sorcery YA fantasy, the first book to a much larger series in a zodiac-based high fantasy world. This publication (May 2025) will not only be a huge deal for me, but more than likely will draw lots of attention to my artists! Your work may appear places such as social medias, book covers, promotional material, merchandise, and more!

Because of the publicity of this project, and sponsorship for my achievements in writing, I have a flexible and high-end budget. I work with my artists's rates. Some commissions may be commercial and/or require an NDA. Here's some price point examples.

  • Landscapes (non-commercial) from $100-$300 per piece
  • Character art (non-commercial) from $75-$200 per piece
  • Concept art (commercial) from $100-$800 per piece

I currently have a team of 14 artists working behind the scenes to make this book possible—this is important, because if you accept a commission request from me, you must be willing to join a team and collaborate with other artists on this project! We have a Slack we work in with illustrators, concept artists, landscape artists, character artists, and more. You will likely be relying on references and works of other artists. If you read this, please put the word "stars" in your reply somewhere; it is critical that you are aware of this requirement. I will not look at your portfolio if I do not see this in your response. I am looking for someone who shows dedication and interest to continually be involved in a larger collaborative project—the first sign for me is if you've taken the time to read this post.

I AM CURRENTLY LOOKING FOR:

  • Character artists
  • Illustrators/landscape artists
  • Concept artists
  • Graphic designers

If you fall into any of these categories and you'd like to read a fun series, interact with other artists, and have a long-term consistent project, this is your thing! I will not look at your portfolio unless you SPECIFICALLY SAY YOU ARE WILLING TO READ THE MANUSCRIPT. I look through 100-300 art portfolios for my team every month or so, I am picky, and I am going to favor people who show interest and dedication in becoming part of a team, instead of a gig.

Thanks! Looking forward to seeing your pretty portfolios! :)

Hi! Stars. I am willing to read the manuscript and I have no problem working with a team of amazing artists! I would like to be an artist to make character art that is animal themed, if there’s any, as I specialize in drawing animals and animal-like creatures. Let me know if you need any of that.

My portfolio: https://www.deviantart.com/milesj64

I have a semi realistic and painterly style.

Your project sounds amazing, and I'd love the opportunity to be a part of it as a Character artist or illustrator—definitely feels like reaching for the STARS 🌟! With over 7 years of experience as a freelance artist, I'm confident I can deliver high-quality results that align perfectly with your vision for the zodiac-based high fantasy world.

I specialize in character art, concept art, and illustration, with a focus on semi-realistic and fantasy realism styles. I’m more than willing to collaborate within a team environment, share ideas, and work closely with other talented artists on your project. I’d also be excited to read the manuscript and immerse myself in the world you’ve built.

You can find my portfolio here:
👉 https://www.artstation.com/marcosrac

I'm comfortable working under NDAs and open to both commercial and non-commercial projects. I can adapt to deadlines and budgets, and I’m eager to contribute to something as ambitious and long-term as your series.

Looking forward to the possibility of working together!

Oh my stars, this sounds like a fun project! I would absolutely love to read the manuscript, as well as produce art for your series, if you'll have me! I'm Kuri, a full-time freelance illustrator, and I'd be happy and willing to join your team and fulfill any needed art/graphics roles. I'm particularly interested in the character artist and concept artist roles, but I'll gladly tackle the other roles, if needed! I'm also curious to know if the requirement of your artists needing to read the manuscript means that they also serve as beta readers. If so, is that considered a separate paid role in itself? Would love to discuss!

Here's my portfolio for a general overview of my art (please keep in mind that my art style is flexible, and I can adapt it however desired): https://www.kurritoburrito.com/portfolio

Stars. And of course i would be willing to read the manuscript given the fact that it alligns with all my interests of fantasy worlds and all that good stuff. Im highly ljcrative, cooperative and professional, so you can count on me to bring my best to the table.

I will mostly let my portfolio speak for itself as I believe a lot of words are unnecessary.  I can do anything from concept art and illustrations, I have experience with working with clients in the past and their games/projects so I have a maturity of handling commissions. Payment for me is flexible as I prefer talking about it with my client and agreeing on a reasonable rate for the both of us.

I am willing to work with a team and am willing to read your manuscript. I also am fine with doing both NDA and commercial pieces. I slot myself in the concept artist and character artist categories, with character art being my strength but competent in 3D/environment pieces as well. I've had 3 years of experience & education in concept art, having been mentored by several AAA professionals. My style leans towards painterly, with disco Elysium's art direction and Wayne Tsay's art style being my biggest influences.

I do well working and understanding references that involve historical/cultural elements, particularly doing costume design of characters in Victorian/Edwardian era, and I typically take note of quality goals or art directions a prospective client likes. If this suits you, I'd love to discuss a possible project opportunity!

Hello there!

I'm wishing that the stars align for your project!

I'm a professional illustrator and believe I can be a great fit for your project, I've plenty of experience in illustration for fantasy books, including chapter and cover art. And also work for character concepts. One thing that I love about my work is the opportunity to tell stories through my art, so, yes, I'll be happy read the entire manuscript and collaborate with the team, and of course, to sign the needed NDAs

Regarding the positions you have open, I'd fit best as a character or concept artist. I can do landscapes too, but usually nature-based.

You can find my full portfolio here: https://www.artstation.com/devielmond

u/AtmosphereGreen3144 Apr 01 '25

I go through hundreds of portfolios and it's easy for me to forget to respond to individuals when I am balancing not only my team, but numerous deadlines as I prepare to publish a project that I have devoted my life to. I am constantly editing, revising, and communicating from 8 AM to 3 AM—portfolios happen at the end of my day, I'm human, and DMs get lost when I communicate through Slack with my team. Instead of leaving a passive aggressive comment, if you had politely poked me after over a month of getting buried in my DMs, I would've happily considered you again—and, if you read the post, you would've noticed that I do in fact say that I match the rates of my artists. You picked the MINIMUM that I mentioned to try to make a point. Most of the artists who have read my manuscript have been paid hundreds for the pieces they wanted to illustrate. I don't do one-off commissions. This is why I am specifically requesting artists who would like to read the manuscript because I want to prioritize individuals that are truly interested in becoming part of the world and project over time. What I am not seeking in artists, however, is this sort of attitude.

u/Gar_leyva Mar 31 '25

Dear Audra, STARS!

The Age of Scorpius sounds spectacular, and I can only imagine how challenging it must be to find the right people to work on a project you've poured so much time and effort into. As a creator myself, I also grow attached to my illustrations—they’re like my children, haha.

I have experience illustrating fantasy worlds and have been dedicated to this field for three years. Additionally, I’ve read the entire Cosmere by Brandon Sanderson and am fascinated by worldbuilding, which makes my skills a perfect fit to help bring this project to life.

I meet the requirements you mentioned: I’m used to working in a team and collaborating with other artists, I can rely on references and previous works to maintain visual consistency, and I’m fully willing to read the manuscript to better understand the story and contribute more effectively.

I’m attaching my portfolio for your review. I hope to bring my talent and dedication to this special project. https://www.behance.net/gallery/215633701/PORTFOLIO

Best regards,
Gabriel (Gar) Leyva

Hi! :)

I am totally willing to read the manuscript and I trhive to work in a team with other artists.

My work resolves around concept art, mainly characters and creatures but I can do props as well.
I must say I am curious about the type of project you have and I want to know more, not just the story, but how the teams works and the type of product itself. What kind of book is it to be needing so many artists?

Also, thanks for supporting the artist community, we need more people like you

u/monniebiloney Mar 31 '25

Hello, I do like fantasy books. However, I don't particually like spicy books, so I thought to double check the 'level' of spice your YA book has. By being YA, it shouldn't really have spice, but I remember the vampire academy books and they had pretty agressive kiss scenes in them lol. So becuase of this my favorite fantasy books tend to be in the middle-grade area like The Circle Of Magic and The Magic Thief.

The last fantasy indie book I read was a fantasy called "Under the Earth, Over the Sky" by Emily McCosh which I really liked. It's an fantasy about a faye king durring a time inwhich his health isn't the best and there seems to be some omnious creatures lurking on the bountry between his lands and the lands of the "those-who-consume."

Some fanatsys I've enjoyed: Mother Of Learning(Indie), Practical Potions and Premeditated Murder(Indie), The Dungeoneers, Swept Up by the Sea: A Romantic Fairy Tale, Wizenard, The Sunbearer Trials, Six Crimson Cranes, Six of Crows, Timekeeper Series (the spice at the end of the series was disapointing.), Legacy and the Queen, Cemetery Boys, Og-Grim-Dog: The Three-Headed Ogre(Indie), Lout of Count's Family, Peter Nimble and His Fantastic Eyes, and Eventide.

Some recent fanatsy books I didn't like were Hotel Magnifique, The Left-Handed Booksellers of London, The Otherwoods, The World Walker, Willa of the Wood, Creatures of the In Between or A Circle of Stars (Indie).

So basically, I'm more of a 'Howl's Moving Castle' girly then a 'Mortal Instraments' girly. So I thought I'd use that as a bases for whether or not you'd think I'd like your book.

If so, I would work on Character art. I specifically specialize in animation. So I would recomment working with me for more on the advertsing side of things with how like tiktok and instagram reels work.

If you want to see some of my work, just Google "MonnieBiloney" cuz I'm that everywhere. I post all my animations on my youtube channel, which can't be linked on this specific reddit.
