Looking for a concept artist for a dark sci-fi/fantasy animated series
Hi, I’m looking for a concept artist who might be interested in helping shape the visual identity of an indie animated series project called CYCLES.
CYCLES – Season 1 is a dark sci-fi/fantasy animated series about Aren Solas, a quiet human mechanic who joins a deadly expedition to reach the mysterious Amphitheater, a place tied to the fate of the universe.
The story blends sci-fi, fantasy, action, drama, and psychological tension, with themes of survival, family, sacrifice, and hope.
I’m looking for someone who would enjoy helping define the world visually from an early stage, including things like:
The planned visual style is stylized 3D animation, inspired by the painterly feel of Arcane, mixed with some of the darker and more mature atmosphere of Love, Death & Robots.
This is a free-time unpaid passion project, so there’s no upfront pay. The goal is to slowly build something meaningful with a small team and eventually develop a teaser, short, or pilot concept.
If the project ever makes money later on, core contributors would share fairly in that success.
If this sounds like something you’d enjoy, feel free to message me with some of your work and a bit about yourself.
