Looking for help with: Enviro art, tech art, character art, illustration for UE5 action game

Alex_J

Looking for any help to help fill out content for an action game made in UE5.

About compensation

This is unpaid but I'd like to work on a contract something along the lines of:

• If the project is sold commercially then you'll recoup from profits at typical market rate for US based work in your discipline
• If a publisher is gained and funds development, immediate recoup for your work at delivery of funds and then, if you want to continue working on project, will be on a renegotiated freelance contract
  
• If project is not sold commercially or does not earn profit, you can sell your work or whatever you want to do after it is released or after a time threshold
  
• Whether or not project is sold or makes any profit, all work contributed to project can be used for your portfolio or any type of showcase, at any time
  

Project background:

I have finished pre-production and have most content blocked in with placeholder art. I aim to complete vertical slice in ~3-5 more months.

You can see WIP updates here: https://www.youtube.com/@DinOfEvil_game-bc7nj/videos

and I also have a devlog here on polycount.

There is a playable build with about ten hours of gameplay currently.

Ideal help would be able to work 10+ hours a week and be able to have a meeting once a week to review progress. Having made a commercial game before is a big bonus, however if you are a student or learning 3d that may not be a problem. There is workflow defined for every asset type, so as long as you can follow instructions it's not a big deal if you have not done something before, I am happy to help.

Only reason for hours-per-week suggestion is because if I am waiting for a dependency I'll usually just do it myself, so a person who just doesn't have very much time will fall too far behind.

My major needs are illustration who could focus on marketing related art and some UI.

Next, a tech artist who can help work out some things like bleed effects and other animated materials.

Environment artist and character artist will be a big help too. There are existing models to be polished but there is a decent amount of new things to be made as well, including some opportunity to help with concepts if you like to do that sort of thing.

This will be ongoing so feel free to send a message any time. Things I'll want to see is your portfolio, your motivation to help with project (i.e. what do you expect to gain from the endeavor), and what are your main areas of interest to help with.

Hello! I'm interested in helping with illustrations and concept art! I am an artist with 2 and a half years of experience in Concept Art. I am interested in helping because I believe it offers an excellent opportunity to showcase my artistic abilities and gain more experience while helping you with the project!

Hey! I'm a 3D artist mainly focused on assets and innorganic modelling. I'm not to keen on characters or organic, beyond some basic plants or silly monsters I've made in the past though. If you need any help with buildings or any other decor I'd be glad to help! I'm going to be fairly available for the forseable future as I'm trying to land a job but that will likely take a while, so I might as well keep myself busy and build up my portfolio. Here is my sketchfab if you are interested: https://sketchfab.com/tecnoxarxajr

Hey there!..I`ve been already involved in game dev jobs as a 3d artist, mainly focused in weapon design. I also can do some prop modeling if you need so and that would be a great opportunity to be both of some help and keep building up my portfolio. Hit my Arstation https://www.artstation.com/jhamm_3design if you're interested and let me know here what you think. Looking forward to your response.
