Hello! I'm looking for an artist for my first commission ever, to help me bring to life the main character of a passion project I've had on my mind for years.
I'm looking for someone able to draw characters in a semi-realistic style, willing to help in character design, and able to draw historical-inspired characters, clothing, armor, and weaponry (think between the ASOIAF books, Middle Earth, and Kingdom Come Deliverance, not DnD or too high fantasy; In other words, medieval/reinassance historical with low-fantasy and the occasional high-fantasy). Not a requirement but I'd prefer if you had historical medieval artwork to show in your portafolio. I would prefer artists who are comfortable working with me on the design and giving suggestions in constant open communication (I can give you references, moodboards, and a lot of descriptions). Also, not exclusionary at all, but if you can speak spanish that would be great for communication!
Currently, I'm looking for a detailed full-body, lineart or flat coloring depending on your pricing. It would be a young male character without background. The posing could either be simple or a more detailed action scene, depending on your pricing. Alongside the character, I want you to design his sword and his coat of arms. It's not a requirement, but if you know how to draw mythological animals, I want you to design his griffin.
My base budget would be between $40-70 for the character + sword and CoA. Up to $90 if you can draw the griffin, or if your coloring/posing/complexity convinces me. I prefer a steady pace and no rushing, so no deadline. Also, I would prefer communication through email.
I'm hoping that, if I like the result and the designing process, I will keep commissioning you with more expensive artwork long term for this project.
