Artists Needed for Indie Game Projects
Multiple posts explicitly seek artists, specifically 2D environment artists and concept artists. This indicates a recurring need within the indie game development community to outsource or find collaborators for artistic tasks.

“* For someone to do the pixel art or something. * So for what the game is about this is what they wrote or something: The game would be focused on the following idea - Humanity has fallen into despair and sin, The goodness and saints of the past are dead, Are the sinners of today that evil? Are those sinners just? Wrongly deemed a sinner? You as the player are looking to deny that, To refuse the fate of your world, To be able to say to even just one person they are a good person at heart, Either”
“Hi! Im a 3D and concept artist with experience on working on and art directing multiple shipped games, and I would really like to pivot to working with smaller studios, because I feel that in these times when the market is flooded with so much AI artwork, the tiny studios are really the places where the cool, interesting, different looking games are being made. Im willing to help small creators for really cheap, rather work on something cool than make a lot of money out of it. If anyone could us”

“Edit: "Commission" seems to be the wrong word here. I am simply looking for people who offer custom paid art. Hello, I am interested in getting some 2D pixel art for my game; characters, background, terrain, some animation - you name it. What's the process of finding artists who can do this? Of course I want to pay for the work and am interested in a good professional friendly casual exchange. My current plan is to look on existing asset portals for styles that I find interesting a”
“Hey everyone, We're still at a very early stage: no studio, no funding, no prototype yet. But the concept itself is fully fleshed out, and we're looking to bring on people who want to help take it from here to a working prototype and beyond. About the project: Third-person action-adventure, semi-open world, built in Unreal Engine 5. Gameplay and mechanics are inspired by Ghost of Tsushima, while the visual style leans closer to Assassin's Creed Mirage. The story is set in the 12th ce”

“Working title is "save your skin" but it could be changed. It is a medieval castle daily life simulator and you play the role of a minor courtier. Like crusader kings 3's visiting courtiers or the third season of house of the dragon. At first it was supposed to be set in wartime but now i've worked mostly on getting it coherent on a peaceful day, with adverse events to be added later. All done with LLMs. and that's why I want to pass it off, I am reaching the limits of my a”

“Hi! For my 8 ball pool game ("Realpool" alpha coming up) I need a 3D artist that can complete/repair (or build from scratch) my/an alpha pool table. As I'm a dev and not a 3D artist I'm not satisfied with my work so far (Blender). The utmost importance is strict adherence to correct measurements as it is a pool simulation that relies on official World Pool Association specifications. I won't accept rule-of-thumb/eyeballed results. Mathematical precision and construction (ke”
“I just wanted to share this somewhere because I really really like the artwork that our very very talented artist is making for a game concept that we're currently working on. I'm phrasing it as a "dungeon crawler" but that's not really right. It's more like a crossover between Diablo and Slay The Spire. It's turn-based 1vsMany combat, which is similar to StS but everything else is more closely related to Diablo (character progression, abilities, traits, items/loot”

“Hi! I have been working on this game project, the game was made for a fun side project and it was never intended to be a bigger than that. but when I played it with friends we actually had fun playing and the important part of a game. so I decided to actually put effort on it and make it into actual game. the game right now is ugly both on code side and the art as well [ the arts were Ai because as said it was never meant to be an actual game project ] and I am working on it to clean it all up.”

“Hello person reading this! I’ve been working on my game for a while now and I’m finally at the point where I’d really like to work with an experienced artist. I’m mainly looking for someone who can help out with the visual side of the game and hopefully stick around for more than just a one-off commission. I’ve been looking through Reddit, Twitter and a few portfolio sites, but finding someone while I'm currently not working on a budget has been harder than I expected. If anyone heres worked”

“Hey guys, if I wanted to add a person on our team going from 2-3, specifically a 2nd artist due to the first artist having time issues, for a our next game. We are as amateur as they come, but we like to think we have some good ideas. I guess two real questions. Where to find people who are interested in joining small indie teams, 2nd is ownership, revenue sharing enough of an incentive for most amateur or upcoming artists? Or should I just contract them. Is Fiver still the best? submitted”

“Phew. No, seriously. Whenever I think it can't get better. Our artists are from fine arts background so I suppose that's how the art of APPA goes beyond the conventional video game art. Besides, this is genuinely what I adore about indie games. It's generally a passion project. The art, music, the story has so much heart in it. I'm so excited for our game to be able to express itself too. submitted by /u/HeatDeathStudioGames [link] [comments]”
