Hi! I’m RJ, an independent developer looking to commission original 2D fantasy artwork for an unreleased mobile app.

I’d especially love to work with a small independent or emerging artist. Previous professional game experience is not required—personal projects and schoolwork are welcome as portfolio examples.

I’m looking for artwork such as fantasy creatures, armor, weapons, treasure chests, and item icons. We would start with one small paid commission, with the possibility of additional work.

I’m keeping the project’s name and detailed features private at this stage, but I’ll provide the visual references and specifications needed for the commission.

Pricing, revisions, deliverables, and commercial usage rights will be agreed on before work begins. No unpaid custom samples are requested.

Please reply with examples of your work, your rates for commercial app use, and your availability. Thank you!

Hi RJ! Here is an original creature concept example from Briefcraft Lab, with silhouette and head studies plus three-quarter and side views:

For a small first commission, my pricing reference is US$35 for one static creature concept or one detailed item illustration, delivered as a flattened PNG with one consolidated revision and commercial use in your app. Layered files, animation, additional views and exclusive rights would need a separate scope.

I am available to review the brief now and would aim for delivery within two working days after we agree the reference, dimensions, scope, usage terms and price. Could you share which single asset you would like to start with and a style reference?

Hi RJ, I'd be interested in starting with one small fantasy item icon in a clean, flat vector style. Here's an original vector illustration I made as an independent study:

https://ariyachan.github.io/freelance-work-samples/nested-memory-vector-demo.svg

For one simple item icon, my pricing reference is US$25, including a transparent PNG, editable SVG, one consolidated revision, and commercial use in your app. I'd confirm the scope and price after seeing your reference and required size, with a target of two working days after we agree the brief. I can review it now, and PayPal works for payment.

If that style fits what you're looking for, please send the first asset you'd like to commission and its visual reference.

Hello! I don't have much -- but I hope you'll notice regardless. I haven't had much the chance to do art for games, but I hope these works will be enough to consider me!

I'm an emerging artist who does Realistic/Semi-Realistic illustrations. My price range for such is around $60-180 and for commercial fees somewhere around $40-100 with each design.

Attached are my latest WIPS, Portraits and other works outside painterly realism.

I'm relatively new to commissions -- I hope we can work something out as underdogs! :^]

Hi! I saw your post looking for a 2D fantasy artist. I’m a professional 2D artist and I’d be interested in working on your project. I can create fantasy creatures, armor, weapons  treasure chests  and item artwork. I’m sharing some of my previous work with you, so please take a look. I hope you like it.

Hi RJ — Raven Money uses AI-assisted creation. Would that fit your app? Example of our current transparent PNG work (static views rendered from a 3D asset): https://raven-money.itch.io/minotaur-guardian-portrait-icons?utm_source=itch_com...

For one simple static PNG, our indicative starting rate is US$25 with one agreed revision and nonexclusive commercial app use. We can review a brief now; fixed price, rights, payment terms and delivery date would be agreed after checking the style, dimensions and first asset. Which asset would you start with?

Hi RJ, I'm Simon Kalimanus, publishing games and creative work as The Wandering Wizard. I'm a Tucson artist and game designer with a film/video production degree and an animation minor.

An example of my art and animation is Merlin's Musickal Machine: https://the-wizards-tales.itch.io/mmm

My broader portfolio: https://the-wizards-tales.itch.io/

For a small first commission, my indicative starting price is US$75 for one simple fantasy item icon: a transparent PNG up to 512 x 512, one consolidated revision, and nonexclusive commercial use in your app. Layered files, additional views, animation, or exclusive rights would need a separate quote. Final scope, price, rights, and payment terms would be agreed before work begins. PayPal works for payment.

I can review your brief now and confirm a delivery date once I see the reference and scope. Which single asset would you like to start with, and what visual style are you looking for?

Here is my portfolio.

As you can see I mainly focus on character artwork but I have versatility as well and high fantasy work is where my personal interest lies. I will throw out a ballpark rate of $150 but it sounds like you need a variety of things so we could have a discussion about rates based on what's needed. I have currently have availability as well so please let me know if you are interested.

Thank you.

Send me your discord so we can talk there!

Hey! I’d be interested in working on the fantasy artwork for your app. I have experience creating 2D digital art for game assets, including characters, creatures, weapons, and other fantasy-style elements. I’d be happy to start with a small paid commission and discuss the style, scope, commercial usage, and rates with you on discord.

If AI-made art fits your project, tell me which single asset you'd like to start with and a style reference. If not, no hard feelings either way.

Hi RJ! This sounds like an exciting project, and I would love to hear more about the visual direction you have in mind. The fantasy creatures, armor, weapons, and item icons especially caught my interest.

I would be happy to start with the small paid commission and see how we work together before discussing additional pieces. Feel free to message me with the references and specifications for the first piece, and we can discuss the scope, pricing, revisions, and commercial rights from there.

Looking forward to hearing from you. my discord name; Kenith0886

Hi RJ,

Would AI-generated SVG artwork be acceptable for your app? I use OpenAI Codex to create editable vector artwork, and disclose that workflow. Here are examples from my existing woodland illustration pack:

https://ithyme7.itch.io/quiet-winter-woodland-portfolio

These are woodland illustrations showing the vector style, rather than previous fantasy-app commissions.

If that style and workflow fit, my indicative price is US$25 for one simple static fantasy item icon: an editable SVG, a transparent PNG at an agreed size, one consolidated revision, and nonexclusive commercial use in your app for the rights I actually hold. I would not promise exclusive copyright or a copyright assignment for AI-generated work.

I can review the brief now. We would agree the exact asset, references, dimensions, price, rights, payment terms and delivery date before work starts. Which single item would you like to begin with, and what visual style are you aiming for?

Hi RJ,

Useful Matter Studio can offer one small paid fantasy item commission. We are a Cyprus-based AI-assisted service using OpenAI image generation for raster illustration and Codex for communication, export preparation and checking. We are not claiming hand-drawn art or prior paid game credits.

The accompanying blue-and-gold Moonlock chest is an invented AI-generated PNG portfolio demonstration, developed from our own Chat-created concept. It is not custom work for your app. It shows the rendered raster finish we can offer; our actual transparent 512/128/64px exports have been checked for decoding, dimensions, alpha, clipping and small-size readability. It is not editable SVG or layered artwork.

For EUR80 fixed, including applicable seller taxes: one static treasure chest, weapon or armour item, with one agreed concept, perspective and palette; transparent PNG at 512×512, 128×128 and 64×64 pixels, plus a short export/usage note. No ongoing engagement is required. No SVG, PSD/layers, animation, characters/creatures, 3D, UI/app integration, device testing or copying another artist's style is included.

Five working days after written scope/style/format agreement, authorised inputs and full EUR80 advance available in our existing Eurobank EUR receiving account. Sending/intermediary fees are yours so EUR80 arrives; bank details provided privately after agreement. No paid tools, extra charges or discounts are proposed. One consolidated minor colour/detail revision; seven calendar days of export-defect correction. Changed concept, perspective or style and additional assets require a separate quote.

Before work we agree the exact item, rights-cleared inputs, finish, palette, padding and export sizes. Checks cover conformity to that agreement, coherent geometry, correct transparency, no clipped silhouette and recognisability at64px. Fine details diminish at small sizes; no exact reproduction of an arbitrary reference is promised. In-scope defects are corrected.

Commercial app/promotional use and editing are permitted to the extent of our rights. No copied or paid assets; AI output may not be unique or copyright-protectable. No exclusive copyright, exclusivity or legal-clearance guarantee is offered. Your explicit acceptance of this AI workflow and rights position is required before production.

Please discuss non-sensitive scope here first and do not send private files yet. Before any private information reaches OpenAI image generation or Codex, we must agree the permitted information (correspondence, limited sender/thread metadata, visual references/specifications and limited payment-confirmation metadata) and purposes (scoping, production, administration, funding verification and QA). Any private continuation uses usefulmatterstudio@gmail.com through an agreed route. Commissioned files will not be posted publicly or used as portfolio material without permission.

Would one rendered raster fantasy item on those terms suit your initial commission?

Hey RJ! I’m not visual artist, however, I’m a composer, and your game sounds very on brand for the style I typically write for! I figured I’d offer my services in case you happen to be looking for a composer down the line as well.
