Freelance Artist Needed — One-Time Work-for-Hire Project Project: Festival of Crowns tabletop card game Compensation Model: Flat-fee freelance project Rights: Full commercial buyout Help Bring Festival of the Crown to Life We're looking for a talented fantasy illustrator to help create the visual world of Festival of the Crown, a fast-paced tabletop card game where players compete for gold, rise through the ranks of a royal court, and vie for the Crown itself. At its heart, Festival of the Crown is a celebration in a box, a lively gathering filled with shifting fortunes, playful rivalries, and the magic of a kingdom coming together for its grandest event of the year. Players wear rank medallions, collect coins, and transform their table into a living royal court where anyone can become the Ruler or the Fool. The visual world draws inspiration from the magic, mischief, and elegance of A Midsummer Night’s Dream: enchanted forests, moonlit revels, courtly beauty, and playful fantasy. The overall palette should feel warm, rich, and inviting, with an emphasis on greens and deep blues. This project is a strong fit for an artist who loves fairy-tale fantasy, classic literature, forest settings, decorative design, and elegant game packaging. Experience with tabletop games, card layouts, medallion/icon design, or print production is a plus. Art Direction The visual world draws inspiration from: • A Midsummer Night's Dream • Medieval festivals and courtly celebrations • Enchanted forests • Storybook fantasy • Renaissance fairs • Fair folk, moonlight, music, and mischief The tone should feel: - Whimsical - Noble - Magical - Playful Not dark fantasy or cartoon comedy. The goal is to create artwork that feels timeless, elegant, and inviting for players of all ages. Scope of Work 1. Game Box Artwork Box top illustration + side panels A vibrant festival taking place beneath enchanted trees. Possible elements include: • Lantern-lit pathways • Banners and celebration • Musicians and performers • Noble guests and common folk mingling together • A distant castle overlooking the festivities • The Festival of the Crown title located near the top of the box The artwork should feel lively and magical while maintaining strong readability from a distance. Box bottom / lower box sides Supporting environmental artwork that expands the world of the Festival. Examples: • Forest textures • Castle stonework • Decorative borders • Hidden icons and visual Easter eggs 2. Card Design Standard poker-size playing cards (fronts and backs) • Two back designs • Symmetrical and orientation-safe • Decorative but highly readable • Thematically tied to the Festival and enchanted forest Number Cards Values 1–17 The design should: • Prioritize readability during gameplay • Feel elegant and premium • Support quick recognition around the table Special Cards Illustrations and layouts for: • Dragon • Orb • Staff • Coup Cards 3. Character Icons / Medallion Symbols Create a set of original symbols or icon-style illustrations representing the following characters, to be printed on hexagonal medallions: • Ruler • Royal Advisor • Keeper of the Key • Knight • Bard • Squire • Seer • Rat Catcher • Butler • Jester These should feel cohesive with the rest of the game world and be designed to reproduce cleanly at smaller sizes while still feeling distinctive and polished. • Final delivery should include transparent PNGs and source vector files for resizing Deliverables • Final files sized to provided dielines and templates • Layered source files (AI or PSD) • High-resolution print PDFs • Web-ready PNG/JPEG preview files • All typography either outlined/expanded or accompanied by properly licensed commercial-use fonts Preferred Experience Bonus points if you have experience with: • Tabletop games • Card games • Packaging design • Fantasy illustration • Icon design • Print production Preferred Workflow Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, or an equivalent vector-first workflow is preferred to keep files press-ready and flexible for production. Please Note: Project Structure This is a one-time freelance work-for-hire project. Compensation will be paid as a flat fee. BeachGuild Games will retain full commercial rights to the final artwork.
