Concept Artist Wanted for Gritty Horror/Apo Characters

[bigThinker]

Hi all! I'm working on a L4D mod called DEADLOCK. We've got a solid team, have had two months of pre-production and are entering our fourth week of production. We're also currently ranked 79 of 8,946 projects on ModDB after only a few days of real promotional work.

What we need right now is a character concept artist. This project includes an unusually large cast of characters for an FPS. They vary in age, size, ethnicity, gender and personality. We need a concept artist who can work with the game designers to bring this cast to life through 2D art - sketches at first and colored, digital/mixed media later. In addition to creating material for 3d artists to base their work upon, the concept artist will create art with the characters to be used in promotional material.

Aesthetically, the DEADLOCK world is grim, dirty and has a sense of doom to it. The lives of the characters are brutal and visceral. We need the art to communicate how broken the characters are, and allude to what they've lost. Realism is crucial.

I've posted some reference work on our forums, as well as details on how to apply:
