Greetings,

Last year I used Conceptart.org to find a new artist and I was very happy with the process and the person we picked for the job has worked for us for over a year but their time is now limited so I am seeking a new artist.

If you are reading this Mike, thanks for your time this past year.

I am currently looking for a freelance artist to fill in gaps in artwork for an Online "Browser" based RPG that I own and actively develop.

About Lands of Hope
Lands of Hope is an Online Browser based RPG, it is massive in the sense that it has over 100,000 tiles to visit spanning 10 realms and a ton of content.

The Game centers around 4 Allegiances, Neutrals, Exiles, Society and Reapers.

We currently have thousands of images for Items, spells, styles, races, buildings and tiles etc ... but I find it all to hard to hold down an artist for more than a few weeks before they just up and vanish on me.

That said over the years we have had many talented artists who are top rate and have contributed immensely to the game.

I am looking for one new artist who thinks they are able to produce artwork to match our existing style, in particular Race and Character avatars.

Payment will be 5 - 15USD per picture depending on size and detail required, I know that doesnt sound like much but the images we use in the game are all 40 * 40 pixels (although we also require a larger 80 * 80 pixel version for promotional purposes).

I will attach some existing pieces so you can get a feel of the kind of work we currently use.

Old images
These were all done a few years ago.

In addition to the Race pictures, there is an opportunity to draw custom pictures for players so they have a unique avatar for their character, standard fee for this service is 20USD so artists can earn additional revenue.

To apply, please send an email with a sample of your character artwork, or a link to your portfolio to support@forlornonline.com

You can visit our website at http://www.forlornonline.com for more information about the game.

Typically our last race artist earnt between 50 - 150 USD per month depending on art completed, all payments are made at the end of the month using PayPal so you must have a PayPal account so we can pay you.

We have a new expansion pack in the works that will require a number of pirate themed images including "race" pictures and "boat" pictures but there is also quite a number of additional race pictures that we need completing.

I look forward to hearing from you.
