Dear Concept Artist!
Solia Online is an Social Avatar Community that has been established since October of 2007. We have a project in the works that will require large landscape pieces. Do too the large requirement we were hoping that we could find several artists to do one or two pieces each.
What we need
We are developers looking for a series of backgrounds for an upcoming gaming website. In total we are looking for a series of 8 background with a variety of geographic features and climates.
Style
We are looking for a rather stylized look to the backgrounds, mixing both the rough nature of concept art and watercolors. In terms of design we would like to go with a slight fanciful route with just hints of ruins and random unique / impossible architecture. In terms of color, we would like to focus on an over saturated feel to add to the fanciful scenes.
Specifications
We need each background in 12 inch square format at a minimum resolution of 300 dpi. The pieces will be used both for print based promotional pieces, and the website.
Future
As we expend our concept, game and website, additional resources may be necessary and would like to work with an artist or firm interested in a continuing relationship.
Individual Details Plains - Hilly grassland with sparse thickets of trees. ( Dominate Colors: Yellow / Green )
Mountains - Pure rock terrain, possibly overlooking a cliff. ( Dominate Color: Red )
Tropical - A beach / Caribbean scene. The view pointed inward to an island with possibly a tropical mountain looming in the distance. ( Dominate Colors: Green / Yellow )
Jungle - The deep dark scary jungle, something like the Amazon or the Congo. Inside the canopy, maybe with ruins for detail. ( Dominate Colors : Green / Brown / Black )
Night - A generic indistinct terrain, with the focus being on the night time stars, and space scape. The most notable feature should be the moon. (Dominate Colors: Black / Violet / Blue )
Cityscape - The streets of a successful modern metropolis. Something akin to New York City, but with an idealized clean modern outlook. Maybe something like central park, with skyscrapers in the background. ( Less about color, more about shapes )
Forest - The ideal forest meadow. Think Bambi. ( Dominate Colors : Green, Green & Green )
Snow - Something like the snow fields of Antarctica. Lots of harsh angular shapes. ( Dominate Colors : White / Blue )
The piece must be around 2000px by 2000px and minimum 300 DPI. The pieces would range from 200-500 dollars per piece based off of quality and detail.
