    Job Description

    In this volunteer, non-paying position you will be asked to create a variety of high-quality concept art and/or illustrations for The Lays of Althas: Sundered Order (LoA:SO). Interested applicants must be advised that this is a long-term volunteer project, and as such, you must be ready to contribute to the game on a long-term basis (however, as this is an unpaid position, full-time dedication is not expected). A variety of different concept types, such as characters, landscape and architecture may be required. Concept art should be created in a timely manner on demand; while there is no set amount of time that a team member should put into the project, it is expected for work to be handled within a reasonable timeframe. Multiple applicants may be accepted; this job is not for a single position.

    Samples of existing concept art for the project may be found at our IndieDb page: http://www.indiedb.com/games/the-lays-of-althas-sundered-order

    Communication is key to a smooth and efficient pipeline, you must be able to communicate clearly and effectively with other team-members and not be afraid to ask should any problems arise. We are an English-speaking team, so English fluency is a must.

    If you are comfortable with teaching, you may be called upon to aid the more junior members of the team in any relevant area.

    Other duties include following team policies (given upon acceptance to the team) as well as attending Slack meetings (instant messaging software we use for team communication).

    THIS IS A VOLUNTEER POSITION, SO NO MONETARY COMPENSATION IS BEING OFFERED. WE ALSO CANNOT OFFER ANY WORK VISAS.

    At this time, we are having to rely upon free (or previously licensed) software. Please refer to the applications listed below for guidelines. We do not endorse piracy in any shape or form.
