The Mutant Epoch™
While
The Mutant Epoch™ is a futuristic, dark, post apocalyptic
setting, art samples need not be of that genre. Secondly,
the styles and mediums employed by our artist
and currant freelancers are not indicative of the art we demand, in
fact, we welcome all styles from both established
illustrators as well as accomplished beginners.
What
do we need? Well, being a gritty milieu , illustrations for
The Mutant Epoch™ should be textured, somewhat loose,
scratchy and possibly mature in their subject matter. The
games, comics and fiction are geared toward an mainly male,
adult audience, so showing violence, blood, gore, the
horrific, as well as the sensual are okay by us as long as
the images relate to the text for product being produced. So
yes, you can show people with hot bodies, somewhat
suggestive scenes and some nudity; bums and breasts, but no
clearly visible genitals unless they are part of some
non-human being.
The
Mutant Epoch™ as well as many other Outland Press™ products
are often sold as downloadable adobe acrobat™ pdf books, and
it is our policy to make these products as printer friendly
as possible, therefore, we don’t want to see large blocks of
color or black ink anywhere, except possibly on the cover or
for screen-only editions. To better facilitate printer
friendly products, we require finished pencil drawings, or
digital art which uses grayscale and avoids large patches of
solid color, all of which must have light backgrounds and
depth; see the examples found
here. For a portfolio, show
us what you’ve got, but do try to include some finished
pencil or grayscale renderings along with color and black
and white ink work.
Please email us at
info@outlandarts.com
with a link to your online portfolio. Please don’t attach
samples in an email. If you don’t have a web site yet,
consider setting up a gallery at either
www.elfwood.com
,
www.deviantart.com
or
www.epilogue.com
or better yet, all three. We look forward to seeing your
work.
