[Collaboration/RevShare] Lead 3D Artist: Define the Aesthetic of an Entire Creature IP
Hello Polycount community!
The Creative Lead/Founder of Leyline Foundry is seeking a highly skilled Lead Creature Concept Artist & Sculptor to join the project as a founding partner for its high-fantasy debut title, Aethelgard: Echoes of the Arcanum.
This is a high-trust partnership offering complete creative freedom to define the core creature aesthetic of the entire IP from the ground up.
The Artistic Mandate: Full Creative Ownership
I am looking for an artist to take full ownership of the diverse creature roster, the Arcanists.
Design Freedom: Your first task is to establish the initial visual language by concepting the entire starter lineup (e.g., Deluge, Cinder, Verdant). There are no pre-existing designs; the final form is entirely your creative vision.
The Challenge: You must create unique forms and silhouettes for an extremely large and diverse set of Arcanist Classes (e.g., Deluge, Cinder, Verdant, Cosmic). I am not interested in reskins—each creature must be visually distinct.
Aesthetic Goal: All sculpts must share a cohesive, stylized material look: dense, opaque, and turbulent liquid or "hardened magic." I need someone who can translate this feeling into final, production-ready 3D models.
Compensation & Commitment
This is a professional partnership for a founding team member, not a contract for hire. I am seeking someone passionate about defining a new visual world.
| Detail | Specification |
| Status | Revenue Share (RevShare) / Portfolio. Professional contracts granting IP credit will be provided. |
| Compensation | NO UPFRONT PAYMENT. Compensation is a percentage of the game's final revenue. |
| Commitment | I am seeking a long-term partner committed to 5-10 consistent hours per week. |
How to Apply
I require proven ability in both Concept Ideation and 3D Sculpting Execution.
Please reply to this thread or send a direct message with the following:
Portfolio Link (MANDATORY): Show us your best creature/character sculpts and concepts. We must see evidence of your ability to generate diverse and unique forms.
A brief explanation of your creative process for tackling a new, stylized creature aesthetic—specifically, how you would approach designing the Deluge Arcanist to make it stand out and avoid clichés.
Why defining the creature aesthetic for Leyline Foundry is exciting to you.
I look forward to collaborating with a fellow artist to build the world of Aethelgard!
