Hello everyone, We've been working on several projects over in the Cabal of Dead Ink (see signature), and we have need of a Servitor-Illustrator, Grimdark Illuminator, or Digital Artist who can give their time to produce an image or a series of images which will be placed into PDF documents to enhance and display our work. The main focus of the Cabal is the development of WH40K fiction, mostly the Badab War era, however, recently we have collaborated to produce several entries for the Black Library Open Submission 2022/23. Our plan is to produce an Anthology containing the entries by forum members that GW declined, so that we can showcase the efforts and creativity of the Bolter and Chainsword. However, in order to fulfil this ambition, we need book covers and interior artwork, by someone who's a dab hand with a digital brush. A series of projects is in the works, and so we offer the opportunity to express and challenge yourself with the liveries and bloody glories of different Chapters, to be immortalised in downloads available to all members of the B&C. Due to the nature of both GW's IP and the B&C's copyright stipulations, the artwork must be original (our prose certainly is!) and we are prepared to steer anyone who volunteers, so that our mutual projects can always be available. If you're interested, or think you can help out, please feel free to post below, or if you prefer, you can contact me with a PM and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. FAQ: Will I be required to join the Cabal of Dead Ink? Joining us is not mandatory, and we will soon open our project forums up to the public anyway. Does the Cabal take ownership of my work? Absolutely not - this is a collaboration. You are the creator of the work and have all the rights that are inherently given you by the act of creation and publication of your work. We expect to use your work in downloadable PDF's from the Libraries the B&C provide - so it will be associated with this project. Will I be expected to produce to deadlines? Not really, no. Obviously the projects we produce will have a window for delivery, but this is a volunteer job, with a forum full of volunteers like you with lives and jobs outside it (well, probably). We demand nothing of you, but would hope that you would make time to complete anything you decided to donate to us. Other notices will be made in relevant forums for further opportunities for involvement by writers, artists and folks good with a digital wrench.
