I have a digital card-battler in early prototyping, currently filled with AI placeholders that I cannot legally publish. To move the project onto Kickstarter and Patreon I need a fresh, fully-licensed starter pack of cartoonish creatures. Backgrounds, items, emblems, and UI icons will follow, but the creatures come first because they drive the look and feel of the whole game. Scope • 25–30 unique, high-resolution creature illustrations in a bright, readable cartoon style. • Each creature delivered as layered PSD or Clip Studio file plus exported transparent-PNG at 2K resolution. • Simple turnaround sketch → feedback → final render workflow so we nail consistency early. • Full commercial rights transferred on payment. Future Collaboration & Revenue Share I have a modest budget for this first batch, but once the Kickstarter page is live you will be listed as an art partner and receive an agreed percentage of post-campaign art milestones. If you enjoy ongoing world-building, there is room to grow into backgrounds, items, and promotional key art. What I need to see from you When you reply, focus on your experience drawing stylised creatures—mobile, card, or indie titles are perfect examples. A link to a portfolio or a short reel is enough; no elaborate proposals required at this stage. If clean line work, bold colours, and lively character design are your strengths, let’s talk and get these monsters ready for the spotlight.

I understand you need a compelling set of cartoonish creature illustrations to replace placeholder assets and drive your digital card-battler's visual identity for your Kickstarter. My experience creating distinct character sets for similar game projects, focusing on readability and distinct silhouettes, directly aligns with your need for unique, high-resolution assets that will define your game's look and feel. My approach involves a streamlined, iterative process. I'll begin with concept sketches, exploring various cartoon styles and creature archetypes based on your game's theme and mechanics. Upon approval, I'll proceed to detailed digital painting using Procreate and Photoshop, ensuring bright, readable color palettes and clear linework. Each creature will be delivered as a layered PSD/Clip Studio file for future edits and as a 2K transparent PNG, optimized for game integration. To ensure we're perfectly aligned, could you elaborate on any specific creature archetypes or themes that are currently missing or that you envision as core to your starter pack? I'm eager to discuss how we can bring your vision to life.

Working with a card‑battler prototype that still relies on AI placeholders can make the visual feel unfinished. I’ve created cartoon‑style game assets and character packs for several indie titles, so I understand the balance between playful detail and clear readability at small card sizes. Definitely something I can help with. You can check my recent illustration work and client feedback on my profile. I’ll keep communication open and iterate quickly to match the tone you’re after. How many unique creatures are you looking to include in the starter pack, and do you have any reference art or colour palette in mind?
