Artists Wanted!

Reaper is always on the lookout for talented artists. We regularly have need of Concept Designers, Illustrators, Colorists, and Sculptors.

Concept Designers

There's a big difference between illustrating and designing a figure. Concept artists should have the ability to visualize a miniature in 3-D and put it into a 2-D format.

A sculptor is going to use your concept art and will need as much information as possible to fully realize the finished miniature. Be sure to show things like a back view, fun details, and notes to explain something that could be overlooked or misinterpreted.

The important thing to remember is that a great illustration might not make a great miniatures design, and vice versa.

Here's our gold standard for concept art. Note how Talin and Wayne Reynolds provide reverse views and notes on important details.

Illustrators

We produce a number of products that require illustrations. Our Warlord Second Edition Core Rulebook is a prime example. Illustrations typically show actions scenes using our characters.

As an example, notice how Kidwell really brings the fight to life with a snarling, savage orc overwhelming a dwarf warrior, while the battle rages in the background.

Colorists

We don't always need designs and drawings from scratch. We have a number of fantastic sketches that can be turned into wonderful color art by the right (talented) person.

Here is an example of a sketch by Talin that was later colorized by Sven Bybee.

Sculptors

We're looking for the best sculptors here at Reaper. If you think your stuff matches up, then send us some photos of your work! Examples of Reaper sculptures in their original form may be found on our Greens page, but just in case, illustrated below is an example of what we are and aren't looking for:

Great:
Good Green
Not so Great:
Not Great

Rates for art vary and are determined on a case to case basis.

Think you have what it takes?

Think you have what it takes to work for Reaper? If so, submit your stuff to artsubmissions@reapermini.com. Please provide a link to your website (if you have one) with the submission. DO NOT mail us any physical artwork in the mail. We are only interested in scans.

We will keep your submissions on file for 6 months. If you do not hear back from us concerning your submission, give it another go in 6 months!

Due to the limited time we have available each day, we are not able to provide individual feedback on submissions. If we like what we see and have a project where we need you, rest assured we will contact you. If you don't hear from us, please resubmit every 6 months, as our needs will likely have changed by then, and we'll want to see your stuff again!
