Concept Artist for Character Design, Pay $250

[Dekaron]

I am looking for an artist to do a character design. The pay is $250.

Here is a description of the kind of artist I am looking for:

- Possesses strong anatomical knowledge
- Highly skilled at drawing futuristic armor and details
- Highly skilled at life drawing and life details
- Highly creative and good at design
- Has a very, very clean & crisp style
- Has a style more commercial than fine artsy
- Doesn't have any problems using thumbnails
- Doesn't have any problems receiving constructive criticism
- Doesn't have any problems working under contract
- Doesn't have any problems with the pay listed

I have an incredibly detailed description of the character to be drawn, but I will only send it to those who send me examples of their work. The character is for a video game is all that I will say. So I will require front, back, and side views of the character.

If you fit the description of the artist I am looking for feel free to email me examples of your work: removed

Does this mean that whoever applies will be sent the description, and EVERYONE will work on it? Is this a contest?

I think it's pretty clear what it means.

Thanks again to all those who have applied so far. There is a lot of talent on this website.

No it's not really all that clear that is why he asked. Are you going to want a test piece or are you going to go off the artist whose portfolio work you think fits the best with your project.

PM and email sent, please check it out. :)

Dude read the rules. It says do not reply to an employer here unless it's for a question..Is it so hard to read and then follow the rules?!

Just to be fair to any future applicants please know that the position may have already been filled. I suspect I will know whether it has within the next 24 hours. So if you plan on applying you may want to do so before then. Once I know whether or not the position has been filled I will post to let everybody know.

Until then feel free to send in your applications. Thanks. :)

You can call a cat a fish as much as you want, but it will not swim.

Just because you keep saying it's clear doesn't make it so. You never said that you would select from a group of finished submissions or if you would send the details to all who apply so they know what they're getting into, but only hire one person.

So please clarify. If this is in fact a contest know that it's poor form to ask for people to do spec work, especially on CA.

While what you said is clear on one level, this-

I have an incredibly detailed description of the character to be drawn, but I will only send it to those who send me examples of their work....

....could still mean that once you receive work examples, you might ask for a test piece. In fact, it's what I first thought when I read it. You have set the price already, so people wouldn't need the description in order to work out their estimates or quotes. So really, on the face of it, the only reason you would need to send the detailed description to applicants is in order to get detailed test pieces in return in order to make your decision. At least, that's the way it could be interpreted.

So in the future, when people ask you to be a bit more clear on your art call it actually might not hurt to elaborate just a bit more. Just a thought. Good luck on your search! :)

Obviously it's not, if people keep asking. And your repeated refusal to clarify isn't reassuring.

Anyways, this position has been filled. Thanks once again to all those who applied. Feel free to delete the thread or whatever it is you need to do.

We don't think this is spec work. He did simply request to see (obviously) existing samples, so he can get an idea of the style and detail levels of previous work- not for an artist to make submissions of samples based on his preliminary descriptions.

We think basically, he's just asking to see portfolios or reels. Anyways, usually the more talented and skilled an artist is at what he or she does, the less abilities they have in other areas, such as communication or reading or talking or walking...many can barely feed themselves (inside joke? :D) This is the price that artists pay for their genius.

We think that hiring parties should remember to keep a sense of humor and try to accomodate artists as much as they can- after all, it is so simple to just clarify and restate expectations from a business point-of-view. Usually, artists are quite humble and genuinely aim to please, and just want to better understand what their Patron's desires are. It's such a small thing to be kind and just reword what you've already stated.
