Illustrator

BEFORE YOU APPLY: Please read the compensation information at the bottom of the page!
OVERVIEW
We are looking for illustrators who can create art for our high fantasy TTRPG from the world of Soul Atlas.
ABOUT THE COMPANY
We are creating films, games, and comics - stories with soul - for our own fantasy universe (think Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, etc., but smaller - for now hehe). We started 4 years ago as a small team of folks who were initially supposed to package a TV show. Finding ourselves unwilling to sign away our IP, we decided to build out the universe ourselves to retain (creative) control. Now, 4 years later, our rag-tag band of pirates has grown to over 150 members (far over 200 depending on how you count).
Our current slate includes 3 short films (2 in active development, 1 in post production, 30min each), a comic book series (9 issues of Season 1, 45 pages/issue), two games (one Card Game online and offline version featuring our characters and factions, and one TTRPG with one shots, campaign rules, and region expansions). We also produce music, art, and have our own in-house media marketing element and ops.
YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES
Create illustrations within a team for TTRPG books, working under the guidance of producers and art directors
Work comfortably in a grounded, realistic fantasy art style
Create illustrations for characters, creatures, environments, and props within a TTRPG
Work from structured briefs and references provided by worldbuilding, leadership, and concept artist
YOU
Proactive attitude toward skill development and growth
Experienced in illustration
Transparent and responsive communication
Professional working proficiency in English
Ability to adapt artistic style to the project’s aesthetic
Strong grasp of artistic fundamentals, including color, composition, value, form, anatomy, brushwork, and perspective
Bonus: Familiar with book layout & design
COMPENSATION DETAILS
Time Investment:
Part-time. Approximately 5-15 hours/week (flexible week on week, as we understand you may have other commitments) - you set your own boundaries and communicate your availability.
Salary:
At this point, there is no salary for anyone in our team (from the CEO to the producers to the set runner, nobody draws a salary). We instead give parts of the profit away:
Profit Participation:
We are currently in the development of a profit share/royalty system that will award everyone who is part of the project a piece of the pie without causing any upfront taxation. Upon request for an interview, we will send you a detailed breakdown so you can make a decision on whether or not you want to continue with the application. This is fundamentally an investment contract (time invested, profit participation/royalties gained), and as a result, we are happy to support any due diligence you want to undergo ahead of joining.
Thank you very much for considering the collaboration.
We hope to see you on the other side and that we grow together on these exciting projects!
All the best,
Your Soul Atlas Team
