FOR HIRE - 2D Art + 3D Modeler | Animation [Hiring] Low-poly 3D Artist and/or UI Artist for a cozy airline tycoon game (paid)

13 Upvotes

Hi! I'm a solo developer making Takeoff (https://takeoff.gg). It's an airline tycoon game where you build a fleet and fly passengers and cargo around a 3D globe. It's live on web, iOS and Android with real players, and the full launch is planned for November.

The game plays well, but it looks like a programmer made it, because one did. I'm looking for someone to give it a look of its own.

**What I need**

  1. **Low-poly 3D models** - Aircraft: 23 planes, from a small Cessna-style prop up to widebody jets - Things on the globe: landmarks, airports, ships, animals, clouds - Stylized and readable when small on a globe, light enough for mobile (three.js, glTF)
  2. **UI design and artwork** - Make the interface feel like *this* game, not a generic web app - Panels, buttons, icons, menus, plus some illustrations or badges - Has to work on phone screens first

One person who can do both is ideal, but I'm happy to hire two people.

**About the work**

- Paid freelance, per asset or per milestone.

- Start with a small paid test (e.g. one plane or one screen), with more work after that if it's a good fit

**To apply**

Play the game for a few minutes at https://takeoff.gg, then send me:

- A portfolio with relevant work (low-poly, stylized, game UI)

- Your rate and how soon you could start

- Optional, but I'd love it: one thing you'd change about the game's look first

DM me here and be prepared to move to Discord for easier comms :)

PAID - 2D Art | Animation [Hiring] Concept Artist / Illustrator for 10 Keyframes (Teaser Trailer) in a gritty, expressionist painterly style (Disco Elysium / Aleksander Rostov inspired) Negotiable / Case-by-case ($50+ placeholder for bot)

7 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

We are an indie dev team currently working on our upcoming narrative game, Project : The Fifth Floor. We are looking to commission an experienced digital painter to create 10 sequential illustrations (keyframes) that will bring our game's official Teaser Trailer to life.

Visual Style & Art Direction: We are looking for a raw, psychological, expressionist oil-painted look heavily inspired by Disco Elysium (Aleksander Rostov) and artists like Piotr Jabłoński or Francis Bacon.

  • Heavy brushwork & Color Blocking: We want visible, textured dry-brush strokes, sharp edges, and bold color contrasts that sculpt volume without relying on smooth airbrushing or soft digital blending.
  • Atmospheric & Psychological: High expressive priority over clean academic anatomy. Shadows, lighting, and abstract background elements should bleed into the scene to convey mood and tension.
  • Strictly NO AI: Everything must be hand-painted. We require intermediate WIP checks (rough composition sketch + initial color blocking) before final rendering.

Scope & Technical Deliverables:

  • Quantity: 10 narrative illustrations (16:9 widescreen format, 1920x1080 minimum, ideally 2K/4K for camera pans).
  • Trailer-Ready Layers (.PSD): Since these illustrations will be animated in post-production for a teaser trailer (2.5D parallax, slow camera zooms, subtle movement), the final files must be delivered as layered PSDs with separated foreground, midground/characters, and background elements.
  • Rights: Commercial use for game promotion, store pages, and marketing/trailer release (full credit given, of course).

Budget & Payment:

  • Budget: Open / To be discussed case-by-case. Since the complexity of the 10 scenes varies and we want to evaluate each artist's experience and existing commission sheet, please let us know your standard rates (and any bulk pricing for a 10-piece package), and we will agree on a fair quote together.
  • Payment method: PayPal Goods & Services, structured in safe milestones (starting with 1 paid test illustration before locking in the remaining 9).

How to Apply: Please comment below (do not DM without commenting first) with:

  1. A link to your portfolio (ArtStation, Cara, VGen, or personal website — no Google Drive links or Instagram-only links, please).
  2. Specific examples of your heavy painterly / expressionist work (if you only do clean anime, cel-shading, or standard fantasy rendering, please skip this one).
  3. Your standard rates or a rough estimate for this type of work so we have a starting point to discuss.
  4. To prove you read the brief and aren't an automated bot, please include the word "Ascensore" (or "Revachol") somewhere in your comment.

Looking forward to seeing your portfolios!

A year ago, I have publish my game video a game of mine, but it received a lot of criticism regarding the graphics because I had used AI. I decided to put the project on hold for a while, and during that time, I started learning how to create 2D art. Now, after all this time, here is the result—what do you think?

PAID - 3D Modeler | Animation [Paid] 3D gritty scifi character artist

8 Upvotes

My game is nearing a completed vertical slice and so I am keeping my eyes out for the right fit for an artist to commission a 3d main character from.

My game is a cosmic horror future scifi. Gritty and dark.

If I find the right person, I would need at minimum the character, and then some tools/weapons.

My game is a high fidelity 2d "Barotrauma-like" (also similar to Hidden Deep), but higher fidelity than either of those. I would need full material work (albedo + normal + bump + ORM) and then exported orthogonally to 2d in a character spritesheet setup.

Since it's a 2d sideview game, the model would need to be "zoom-out friendly".

I don't need keyframed animations for now.

I can't sort through multiple chat threads in my inbox, so if you are interested, please provide a relevant portfolio in a comment (images or a link to a portfolio) and preferably a price ballpark.

Hello! I'm looking for a musician/sound effect artist to help make the sfx for a cozy/fantasy game I'm working on.

I'm looking for something soft and whimsical. I love the piano sounds other games use and want to go in that direction for my game. Please DM or leave a comment with a portfolio and rate. As a warning I likely won't respond if you don't offer info about what you usually charge or some sort of estimate :p

PORTFOLIO A few months of learning music & sound design on my own

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

• Upvotes

I’ve been working on music and sound design for a few months now, completely on my own, and I wanted to share the reel I made.

I haven’t taken any courses or worked with a teacher or mentor. I’ve mostly just been learning by listening, experimenting, making things, messing things up, and trying again.

I think a lot of what I know comes from the stuff I’ve been listening to and watching for years too. Music, films, games, animation, soundtracks, all of it has influenced the way I hear things.

I made everything in this reel myself using BandLab and Ableton. I didn’t use AI to make any of it.

Some sounds are samples that came with Ableton, but I chose them, edited them, layered them, processed them and put everything together myself.

I know I still have a lot to learn, but I’m curious what people who actually work in this field think.

What do you think works? What doesn’t?

I’m also looking for paid work in music composition and sound design, so if you’re working on a game, film, animation or something similar and need audio, feel free to DM me.

FOR HIRE - Programmer Looking for a Developer for an Indie Life Simulation Game!

0 Upvotes

I’m looking for a developer to help me create an indie game inspired by Cube World and Tomodachi Life!

The game is about autonomous stick-figure residents living in an apartment complex. They’ll develop friendships and relationships, follow routines, discover interests, argue, and make their own decisions with almost no player influence. Players will be able to customize the residents’ appearances and other visual details while observing their lives unfold.

I’ll handle the creative direction, character design, and game systems, while collaborating with the developer on ideas and working together to shape the game.

This is an unpaid hobby project, so I’m looking for someone who genuinely likes the concept and wants to build it as a creative partnership. I’m not expecting a finished game overnight; I want to develop it step by step with someone who shares the vision.

If you’re interested, leave a comment or send me a message!
