This thread is for forumers who are interested in putting their names/portfolios out there for freelance work.
This thread is for artists only. If you are looking to hire an artist, you can do so by contacting them outside of the forum through the channels they provide in their post.
In order to show that you are a participating member of this forum, artists who wish to post a listing here must have an ongoing thread for their artwork in the Artist's Corner. Delinquent or fly-by-night posts will be deleted at the moderators' discretion.
If you intend to contact an artist, please be aware that these are talented individuals who are only willing to work for REAL MONEY. Not publicity, not a chance at potential future money if your dream project takes off, and definitely not for the experience. Try hiring a mechanic to fix your car for the experience and see how well that works out for you.
*****
The next post in this thread will be my personal post which should be used as a template for other artists posting here. It is your choice to omit any sections that don't apply to you or to add new ones (within reason).
Each listing will contain a header graphic of your design at 800 px x 300 px and no more than 4 samples of your work with the largest dimension at 800 px (within spoiler brackets to keep the thread easy to browse). You can of course edit your listing to replace old work with new but must stay within these limits.
Please avoid making non-listing posts in this thread. If you have any questions, you can send me a PM or bring them to the Chat thread.
