Illustrate a Character for a Card Game

This is the first step in a much larger project. We are looking for a professional, talented Concept Artist to join our team. We are building a Card Game for mass distribution. In total, the project has about 100 illustrations that need to be completed, and so we are hoping to employ an individual for several months. However, for this project task we only need one illustration complete, which is the first piece of art. After completing the first piece, we would award the second piece to you, and so on. This project describes the first task that needs to be completed. Create the art work for the front of the Templar Class Card, and a background for the card aligned to the game theme. We are calling this class a "Templar". But it is just a general name for what we are looking for. The character doesn't have to be a Templar from the Knights Templar. It's a Templar-like class that can also be considered something along the lines of a Cleric, a Monk, or a Priest. If you have played popular games before then you already have an idea of what I am talking about and can probably imagine some character. As an artist, I am relying on your creativity to design this character. Please read the attached documents in detail, as we describe some guidelines to follow when you are creating this character. We are expecting about 3 days work to create the illustration, and are looking for bids close to $100 per character illustration, with some flexibility. Please supply examples of relevant work. Sorry, but without any samples of related work, we cannot award this project to you. Also, if you are awarded the project, the art must be completed within 5 days of acceptance. Keep in mind, we are looking to establish a long term working relationship, as we have much more work we can provide if your work on this first piece is good. We will be launching work in phases. In addition to the first task described in this project posting, we also have the following we can award as well for the first phase of work: -8 character illustrations -Card Template Design -6 card back designs (one design for each deck of cards) -8 item illustrations (things like swords, helmets, chain mail, potions, etc) -3 action card illustrations (description will be provided to you) -Gameboard illustration (design will be provided to you) -And a lot more for phase 2 Please let me know if you would like to discuss this project further. Happy biddings !
