Looking for someone (no ai) who can help me out with a layered Steam capsule art, logo/title and few ingame screens for King's Edict, an minimalist 4X multiplayer game which releases later this year. DM with portfolio and a rough price point! #gamedev #indiedev #gameart #artist #noai
Best of luck getting it ready!
10.01.2026 18:14 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Thank you! Planning to hand paint icons depicting different landmarks - ringforts, stone circles etc, probably at two or three different scales for zoom-ability, not sure yet how to show paths between the clearings, will require some testing!
10.01.2026 00:25 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0It does! Sometimes itโs a bit inconsistent but I do two or three scans and one is normally solid haha
09.01.2026 23:28 โ ๐ 2 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Yep, I normally have access to an A1 scanner at an old studio I worked at that I was going to feed it into in parts but Iโve just found out itโs been broken so itโll be a few weeks before itโll be digitised unfortunately!

Close up of detail in south region of Ireland on hand painted watercolour map.
Hereโs the HUGE hand painted watercolour map for my game Bibdu! Made to the same scale as it will be on screen~
It took 3 days to sketch and paint and still missing some detail but happy to have it done to this level for now!
