💗 About Patches & Paint

Hello, everyone!

I'm the creator, game director, and art director of Patches & Paint, an original Roblox mascot-horror game currently in early development.

The game takes place inside a mysterious arts-and-crafts activity center, where adorable living craft mascots once welcomed visitors and helped them explore their creativity.

However, after the center mysteriously closed, strange things began happening.

Decorations started changing, mysterious sounds echoed throughout the abandoned rooms, and frightening creations known as The Unfinished began appearing.

Patches & Paint will feature original mascot characters, colorful environments, mysterious lore, and cooperative survival gameplay.

I'm currently looking for a talented artist to help establish the game's official character art style.

🎨 About the Artist Position

I'm looking for a friendly, creative, and reliable 2D character concept artist who enjoys designing cute, expressive cartoon mascots.

As the game's creator and art director, I will provide the written character descriptions, design requirements, creative direction, and feedback.

The selected artist will help turn those descriptions into original artwork that can be used as a visual reference for future Roblox 3D models.

Our art direction combines colorful arts-and-crafts materials, adorable mascot designs, and subtle horror elements.

This is a paid, project-based commission, not a permanent salaried position.

🧵 First Commission: Patches

Our first assignment will focus on Patches, the main mascot of Patches & Paint.

Patches is a sweet, gentle, and comforting patchwork fabric mascot made from colorful cloth, soft stuffing, and carefully stitched details.

She is affectionate, protective, and always tries to make her friends feel safe.

Her appearance should communicate warmth, creativity, and the handmade charm of the arts-and-crafts activity center.

Required Deliverables

For the initial $150–$200 commission, I'm looking for:

1. Two rough character concepts: Different visual interpretations based on Patches' description.

2. One approved full-color character design: A polished design with visible materials and markings.

3. Front and back reference views: Clear views suitable for future Roblox 3D modeling.

4. Color palette: Main character colors and important material details.

5. Three facial expressions: Happy, worried, and frightened.

6. Final files: High-resolution PNG artwork and an editable source file in an agreed format.

A side view, extra expressions, or additional accessories may be negotiated separately if the artist's quote allows.

Revisions

The commission should include one reasonable revision round during rough concepts and one minor correction round before final delivery.

Additional revisions or major redesigns will be discussed and priced separately.

🌸 Artist Requirements

I'm looking for someone who:

• Enjoys designing original cartoon or mascot characters.

• Can work from detailed written descriptions.

• Has a portfolio featuring character art or reference sheets.

• Can create clean, readable designs for 3D modeling.

• Communicates respectfully and professionally.

• Can work within an agreed commission scope and schedule.

• Is comfortable receiving feedback from an art director.

• Can provide the agreed file formats.

• Respects original character designs and intellectual property.

Experience with Roblox is a bonus but not required for this 2D position.

📁 How to Apply

Please provide:

1. A portfolio link showing your artwork.

2. At least two examples of original character designs, if available.

3. Your quote for the listed deliverables within the $150–$200 budget.

4. Your estimated turnaround time.

5. The drawing programs you use.

6. Whether you can provide editable source files.

7. Your availability for this commission.

You do not need to create free custom audition artwork. Applications will be reviewed using existing portfolios.

📅 Schedule

Application Deadline: To Be Announced
Artist Selection: To Be Announced
Commission Start: After funding and written agreement
Delivery Deadline: Negotiated with the selected artist

I understand artists have their own schedules and will work with the selected artist to establish realistic milestones.

💖 Future Opportunities

Patches & Paint currently has ten established mascot concepts, with additional seasonal characters planned.

If our first commission goes well, I may offer additional paid assignments for other characters, expressions, promotional illustrations, or horror designs.

Future commissions are optional and will be quoted and agreed upon separately. They are not guaranteed.

💗 Final Message

Thank you for your interest in Patches & Paint!

As the creator and art director, I'm excited to work with an artist who enjoys original mascot design, creative storytelling, and the combination of cute and unsettling artwork.

My goal is to create a respectful, welcoming, and enjoyable collaboration while developing a unique Roblox experience.

I look forward to seeing your portfolios!
