My name is Ryan Iler and I'm the designer and creator of an upcoming game called Qubes. The game has been in design and development for well over a year and just needs art. It will be launching later in 2015 on KickStarter.Qubes is a character-focused game with a number of unique mechanics set in a whimsical world where all "people" and creatures are roughly cube-shaped. The game art will be warm, friendly and colorful but with an edge of candy-coated magical, ninja, dragon, bad-ass rock-monster nuttiness, with gems, gears, raging rivers, dark tunnels and loli-pops! There's really never been a game like Qubes and I'm looking to make it as beautiful as it is fun (and its LOTS of fun).
An ideal artist is comfortable in a number of styles, can do light-hearted and whimsical as well as darker and mysterious, enjoys world creation and is comfortable with character design AND landscape / backgrounds. Character illustrations will be turned into miniatures to be used as game pieces so if you also have Z-Brush / digital sculpture skills that's a big plus but not strictly necessary. I can hire a 3D modeler as well.
Illustration needs:
- Character design for 4-8 characters
- Box illustration
- tile-based board illustrations
- a number of other misc illustrations
- Promotional Images
From a graphic design perspective I'm looking for someone with the ability to blend illustrations and clean, beautiful design with personality, easy "readability" and great typography skills. A large part of the design work will be in "logo-like" symbol design representing types of actions and movement on cards, card design and layout and logo / box layout.
Graphics Design Needs:
- Player board design and layout
- Box and Manual design and layout
- 3 Different card backs and card frames
- icon design for cards
- Promotional / Crowd-funding graphics
If you feel you can deliver incredible artwork / design and qualify for either of these positions please get in touch with me ASAP with portfolio samples. I'm looking for end of may completion for a majority of the artwork and design.
I can be reached through BGG or via email: ryancreates@live.com
I'm inspired by the art from classic LucasArt games and in particular the Monkey Island games (see attached images)
Also here are some images from an another upcoming game that I quite like:
