Stories of Survival is a system-agnostic tabletop RPG framework for settlement management, survival and long-term consequences. The Public Alpha has recently launched on itch.io, and I'm beginning to look for artists for the eventual full release.
I'm currently interested in finding artists for several different types of work, including:
• Key/title artwork
• Narrative/event illustrations
• Character illustrations
• Environmental/settlement artwork
The visual direction is grounded, human and lived-in. I'm interested in ordinary people surviving and rebuilding rather than heavily armed action heroes: worn clothing, repaired equipment, improvised infrastructure, abandoned or reclaimed environments, and communities trying to keep functioning.
The tone can be bleak, but shouldn't be relentlessly miserable. Survival, adaptation and community are as important as collapse.
This is paid commercial work. I'm currently identifying artists and establishing likely budgets rather than commissioning the entire project immediately. Individual commissions and staged batches are both possibilities.
Generative AI will not be used for final artwork, and I am specifically seeking human-created work.
If you're interested, please reply with your portfolio, approximate rates, and the type of work above you think you're best suited for.
