[Art] Seeking environment artist (2D or 3D)

Project title: The Zone: Stalker Stories

Steam page - https://store.steampowered.com/app/1299540/The_Zone_Stalker_Stories/

HD trailer: 

The brief:

Zone is a top-down narrative RPG with turn-based card combat inspired by titles like Slay the Spire and Darkest Dungeon. Cool and weird post-apocalyptic themes, heavy supernatural elements, and a dash of SCP-style horror. Lots of unique audiovisual style and top-notch writing to boot.

We're looking for an artist to create top-down or isometric levels for the player explore, full of interesting nooks and details. Much of the design will be up to the artist, so creativity is required, as well as the ability to work on an extremely limited budget.

Environments can be either hand-drawn 2D or 3D-rendered. We have a Blender environment set up to assist with perspective so some 3D experience is a plus.


Examples:

Who we are:

I'm a veteran indie dev with years of experience on many commercial ventures, including the highly-successful Mount&Blade franchise.  Zone is my passion project, crafted together with a few professional visual and audio artists contributing in their spare time.

I do the programming, writing, design, direction and misc tasks, as well as some art and SFX.


Compensation:

Negotiable. We can't offer anywhere near industry standard rates, so the position would be best suited to someone just starting out or looking to gain experience in gamedev.

We also allow team members to retain ownership of and resell any assets they create for Zone. This could be of interest to 3D artists especially.


How to apply:

Send an email to info@illuminated.games with a link to your portfolio or examples of your skills, and an idea of your rates.

Im a pixel artist. Can I help?

It depends. If you can do stuff like this (or even higher detail), then yes:

Low-detail pixel art on the other hand would not mesh with our style.

Yeah I might not be of much help then...
