Hey 3d magicians!
Looking for an artist to create buildings for a browser based city building game that will be released at cityidle.com (more screenshots here: Reddit)
In general buildings are 70x90px, but some buildings are smaller/bigger.
Number of buildings: 100+
Isometric rendering.
Styles:
- wood+stone as materials
- boards+bricks as materials
- concrete+steel+glass as materials
General plan
-
- Work out new building style for the game that matches current terrain/scenery. Optionally some of the current buildings, but if style is considerably better, can redo all of the existing buildings that are not 3d source based. Ideally render settings are worked out and then multiple artists could work on exact buildings, but this is optional.
-
2.Creation of assets

Expectations.
- Full time work (or close to it)
- Great communication.
Delivarables
- File for each building that I could open and render on my machine and get same result. (I am not 3d artist, but this is important for possible future alterations / edits etc.)
- PNG of each building that will be used in the game.
Deadline
- To be discussed and proposed by you.
- Initially would work hourly to work out style/settings etc, later price per group of assets.
If we work together, you get a special version of the game, so you can test all animations/drawings in the game to see how they behave and look like. Expectation is that you do play the game a little so you would get a better feeling of how things work. (I provide prepared save games that have almost everything placed already).
I am an indie developer who loves to work on games, I have quite a long career (~17 years) in software development. (Mostly not in games sector)

If you think we could develop these assets better in a different way, please let me know. I am open for recommendations ![]()

Please add:
- Link to portfolio, ideally showing some similar work.
- Very rough estimate for hours + price per asset. (if you can estimate it)
Some references
Few picked examples of current hand drawn assets that fit current scene.





As a reference, she has very good assets / style / color choice: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/v8VY3
They are a bit too detailed though for the needs of this game. Also assets in this game should be more practical and less fantasy.
Cheers!
