LF: Background and Map Artist! O: Money

Posted 13 days, 4 hours ago (Edited 10 days, 3 hours ago) by MayMaxine

Hello!

Artist has been found! Thank you everyone for all the applications, your artwork is amazing and i'll keep this post up in case we need to find more people to get artwork !

I'm a staff member of Orkis, we're currently working on our site and what we need most right now are: graphics
So i'm looking for someone to do icons for the foraging areas and perhaps a map!

We have the sketch of the map ready and it mostly needs polishing, but for the foraging areas we only have rough ideas:

- Mystical Lake: a lake with a fallen star in the middle
- Prismatic Forest: a forest that has all sort of colors in their trees, similar to a rainbow and star shaped fruit
- Glistening Beach: a beach with sparkly sand and cyan water, filled with seal-like creatures and coral
- The Abyss: deep sea themed, dark and with weird fish silhouettes, *i'd love if a goblin shark was included
- Ancient Ruins: a temple that has fallen, depicts a sleeping statue of a Orki Goddess (i'll send you a reference for the goddess)

The icons should be 350x250 or 300x550

> we don't require full rendering or polishing, it just needs to be clean and easy to see, it can be simplified

> our budget is a little limited, so we'd be looking to settle on a package for all the icons with maybe a discount if it's possible

We can pay in USD and probably in species currency/MYO/Items if that's of your interest!
Please, give examples and prices

*the images below are examples of what i'm looking for, i'm not the artist and none of these belong to me*

Hello! I'd be interested in illustrating some background art for you! Regarding maps, I'd be open to doing those but I currently don't have any samples (so just wanted to give you a heads up on that)!

My price for a fully rendered 350x250 or 300x550 background piece would be $50! Animations like sparkles, moving water, moving clouds etc. can be added in for extra prices!

As an fyi, my turnaround time is 10 days or less, so I can give you the piece in no time! You'll also get a minimum of 3 WIPs as well so you always know what stage the art is that and also ask for adjustments if needed! Also as an option, you may choose to pay everything after the comm* (read TOS for limitations) rather than before too. For further information, here is my TOS where more info can be found, as well as my review thread for my reputation!!

My art examples are below and if you'd be interested, please DM me; I'd love to work with you! ✨

pixel art sample with a background (note that this piece was intended to skew more on realism, so I can make things more stylistic/toony for your pieces)

latiios your art style seems very good! would have more background examples and a specific quote for what i'm looking for? that way it's a little easier for me to discuss with the other Orki Staff members

vicunyas will definitely consider! i love the dino though, how much would it be in total for all icons?

Winelys11 you know we love your work at orkis, though this time we might not be able to afford it if it's per image, how much would it be for all of them in total?

berry_ribbon we don't really need much of a full render/polish as the icons need be rather simple on-site (the max for details being the symprites example) how much would it be for all icons in total?

hello dear!! its been a while since i worked w backgrounds, but im open to try new things! we can discuss prices (and even maybe specie currency!) https://toyhou.se/MershMellow/art?page=1 https://www.deviantart.com/mersh-mellow/art/Union-Festival-892695208 https://www.deviantart.com/mersh-mellow/art/Art-Fight-Bonnie-847586439 https://www.deviantart.com/mersh-mellow/art/THE-LAST-PACKAGE-848551273 https://www.deviantart.com/mersh-mellow/art/Shukaku-Possession-889620217 https://www.deviantart.com/mersh-mellow/art/Kitsu-892609876

Oh mersh!! Your art is always so stunning 🥺 do you think you'd be able to do sceneries that have less rendering? a lot of details get lost when they're small icons on-site

I definitely will keep you mind, do you have a starting price for each scenery and the full bundle? (if possible i want to comission one artist to do all of them to make sure all fit with the others)

berry_ribbon

Ah gotcha! In that case, each icon would be $30 (making the total of 5 being $150)! I also want to let you know that I do accept payment plans of up to 2 months if split payments are preferred!

Feel free to ask me any other questions if you have them, as I'd be more than happy to answer them! :D

Hello! I'd be happy to do little scenery icons for you. I could do a bundle of 5 for $150 USD.

I've been doing a lot of backgrounds for a project I'm working on, so here are some examples:

Untitled.png

They do NOT have to be MSPaint style, that's just the style I was going for here. I have other art examples on my portfolio: https://pencilz.art/illustration

You can DM me here or email: [email protected]

Thank you! 🧡

vicunyas

MayMaxine i'm extending my emotes' deal (coincidentally priced the same as my backgrounds) and would be willing to do 90$ for all 5 of them n-n/

MershMellow

MayMaxine hello dear! 🥺 Im glad about it, i feel flattered well as they'arent so detailed, i can do all of them for $25! and yes! I can ^^ if you guys want, i can even do in a pixel style (like the banner!)

idk why i didnt get pinned but responding your comment

so it would be a total of 200-250, BUT if you want something more similar and simplier like symprites the price will be reduced for like 25-30 (since i charge depending on complexity of the bg) so if you want a simplier style the total for all would be 125-150 instead of the original total which is more targeted for more complex landscapes like the ones i linked :0
