Original Post
Brief description: This is not a game project, but may be of interest to game concept/character artists. I'm looking to commission an artist to create a single piece of artwork featuring a specific fantastical creature which physically most resembles a horse. Including a background scene into the image is optional and will be at the discretion of the artist; I'm interested solely in the creature. For anyone wondering why I want this, it is intended to be printed and used as a gift. I will not require exclusive rights to the work, and both the artwork and creature concept may be used again by the artist for other purposes. Target aim: I'm getting this produced as a gift for a friend, this is not a traditional project. Compensation: I'll be negotiating a reasonable level of payment with the selected artist, with payment to be made via PayPal. I will not require exclusive rights to the work, which the artist will be free to display in a portfolio and even sell again at their discretion. I have a fairly low budget for this but will be trying to ensure the artist is fairly compensated. Technology: Whatever hardware/software the artist in question is comfortable with, or even a traditional non-computer-based medium as long as the final product can be delivered digitally as a lossless image file. I would prefer the result be of sufficient size/quality to be printed on A3 paper but will be willing to settle for A4 or intermediate sizes. Talent needed: I require a single artist who is capable of drawing a fantastical creature according to a reasonably detailed description. Any elements not covered or left questionable by the description will be left up to the artist. The creature in question most closely resembles a horse. I would like to see an existing portfolio from any artists interested in taking on the job, and as I understand equines can be quite difficult to draw I will strongly prefer an artist with previous work featuring horses or similar creatures, although those with a strong portfolio lacking any such examples may still be considered.
