[Art] [Paid] Seeking illustrator(s) for published post-collapse tabletop RPG

Stories of Survival Project · 2026-09-05T08:19:40Z

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. PLEASE READ BEFORE REPLYING A portfolio is required. Replies or messages without a link to an existing portfolio or relevant examples of your work will not be considered. Your portfolio must also demonstrate work relevant to the brief. If your portfolio does not fit the visual direction described above, you will not be considered. Please do not waste your time or mine applying for work that clearly does not match your existing style or experience. Please do not contact me solely with a Discord handle, an offer to discuss the project privately, or a statement that you can provide examples later. I need to be able to review your work before deciding whether to continue the conversation. If you're interested, please include: A link to your portfolio or relevant work samples Approximate rates Which type of work listed above you are applying for If you do not provide a portfolio or relevant work samples, I will assume you have not read the listing and will not respond. If you have ideas, questions, or would like to get involved with the project in another capacity, please feel free to email me directly at: storiesofsurvivalgame@gmail.com Project page: Stories of Survival Itch.io

Hi, I would like to throw my hat into the ring, mainly for character illustrations as that's generally the focus of my work, though I believe I could fit various roles. You can find my contact and portfolio via my website.

My rate can vary depending on the work but I am open to discussing that and hearing more about the specifics. I look forward to hearing from you.

Hello!

I'm a 2D environment artist specializing in landscapes, environments, and architectural scenes. I'm interested in applying for the environmental/settlement artwork for Stories of Survival.

I enjoy creating grounded, atmospheric environments that tell a story through their architecture, lighting, and surroundings. I think my skills could be a good fit for the visual direction you're looking for.

Approximate rates: per illustration, depending on the size, complexity, and level of detail.

I'd be happy to discuss the project's visual needs and see if my work would be a good fit.
