Vigilantes, Inc: Season One - Audio Edition

Every epic saga has its heroes and its villains. Its triumphs and its tragedies. But before the first punch is thrown or the first secret is revealed, it needs a storyteller. We're looking for the voice that will bring our world to life. The one who can make you feel the tension in the air and the hope in a hero’s heart.

While the series as a whole has had an artist, we would like to find someone who can dedicate their style to this particular iteration of the series. The goal would still be to take inspiration from the existing character designs and scenes, but to make them in your own style while helping create illustrations and graphics for the audio episodes to come.
