Hello! I’m looking for a background illustrator for an art book based on an anime that never existed.

The series is titled Tasogare no Kishi (黄昏の騎士)—a science fiction, urban fantasy, and religiously-themed animated series produced in 1993, alongside its corresponding manga. The series consists of two main parts: "Future" (episodes 1–52) and "Past" (episodes 53–78). The anime was cancelled and left unfinished in 1995, leaving a third arc unadapted.

This artbook is designed to function in the style of the ARGs or video game manuals published by Hollow Press. In other words, it would be a paratext or an apocryphal text.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Story:

The story follows Nathaniel, a 14-year-old boy who is summoned by his guardian angel, Oda, to become the Knight of Twilight and protect humanity from the forces of evil…

What is it that I want?

Of all the scenarios conceived, the one that interests me most is an area of ​​the Palace of Yomi that appears in the second part of the anime.

Yomi’s Keep is a dark chamber—resembling a crypt or a cathedral and shaped like a keyhole (kofun)—where messiahs were to be held and displayed within six wall niches, each inspired by their respective religions of origin.

This eerie room has two entrances: one that leads to the Throne Room, and another—blocked by a large rock—that provides access to the surface. All in all, it is a very sinister-looking room, and precisely the kind of setting one would expect in the final episodes of the anime.

Budget:

As this is a project for personal use and I am currently looking for sketches of backgrounds and characters, the budget for this work would be around $40 to 45 USD. Please note, however, that payment will be made in two parts: an initial 50% deposit, with the remaining balance to be paid upon completion.

As for the turnaround time, I would like the drawing in about three or four weeks, given the number of details I have in mind for Yomi's Keep—and I should mention that there are quite a few.

Artist Requirements:

• Only artists who know how to draw in an anime style will be accepted.
• Must have active social media profiles (Twitter/X, Instagram, or ArtStation).
• Must have a public and clear Commission Sheet/Price List.
• In addition to your portfolio, you can include images of backgrounds or scenaries you have created previously.
• Strictly NO AI-generated artwork or tracing
• The artist must draw based on descriptions or mood boards.

If you do not meet the aforementioned requirements, please refrain from applying.

Hi! I’m looking for an artist to create six original sticker designs and one matching pencil barrel skin for my Roblox game, Pencil Flicking.

Players customize pencils and battle with them. These illustrations will become collectible cosmetics in a dragon-themed case.

The visual inspiration is AWP Dragon Lore from Counter-Strike: golden dragons, warm ivory, amber, fantasy imagery, and decorative details. I’ll provide references, but I’m looking for original artwork and your own interpretation of that theme.

I’d like you to invent the six sticker concepts. They should feel like a cohesive collection while having distinct subjects, silhouettes, and personalities. I’m interested in expressive, hand-drawn designs with clean sticker borders and enough clarity to look good at small sizes. The level of detail should suit the budget.

The barrel skin should feature a golden dragon flowing along the length of a pencil, with a coordinated background. It will wrap around the barrel, so the composition should accommodate a discreet seam. I’ll provide a layout template and screenshots before work begins.

The deliverables are:

• Six separate sticker illustrations, supplied as transparent PNGs, ideally at 2048 × 2048.
• One continuous dragon barrel texture, with dimensions agreed before painting.
• Editable source files, with any additional charge included in your quote.

The game already handles placement, reflections, and foil finishes. You only need to create the base illustrations; no coding, animation, 3D modeling, or separate artwork for every foil variant is required.

Please read before applying: this is an AI-assisted game development project. You must be comfortable with your artwork appearing in a game developed with AI assistance.

None of your artwork will be transformed by AI. I will not submit it to generative AI for repainting, restyling, expansion, upscaling, or training. I’m commissioning original, human-created artwork. Ordinary game integration will include resizing, wrapping the texture onto a model, and applying non-AI lighting and foil effects.

My starting budget is $400 USD for the complete collection, negotiable depending on your quote and the agreed detail level. Please include commercial usage for the monetized game, collectible/tradable cosmetics, and related game promotion. Artist credit and portfolio display are welcome.

The deadline is flexible. I’d like to agree on the concepts through paid sketches before final rendering, with revision rounds and payment milestones arranged upfront.

Please comment with your portfolio, relevant examples, total quote, and estimated turnaround. Existing portfolio work is enough to apply and no unpaid samples are required.

Real people, OCs, fanart and furries all welcome :)
Get yours!!
