illustrator needed
Hello everybody!
Visionary Media is looking for an illustrator to illustrate the
original multimedia children's story "The Wand." This will be the second title
in a 2 title CD ROM, the other title is "Trolls' Bridges And Nasty Ogres."
The Wand is the final title in a 4 title series of stories called The
Amazing Bottle Series, the previously published titles in the series are, The
Amazing Spectacular Ordinary Bottle, and I Saw A Strange Little Man. The Wand
will be somewhat interactive with a degree of control over the plot. The main
characters are a young boy, his dog, and a magician.
We desire a realistic style of art with a slightly surreal slant that
may be either ray traced, computer painted, or natural media. Somewhat
"painterly" styles are ok as long as we see a surreal influence. Please keep in
mind that due to the interactive nature of the project, as many as 30
illustrations may be required. There will be several "morph" type animations,
if you are unable to create these easily yourself, they can be accomplished in
our studio.
The CD will be published by Visionary Media and distributed by Ingram
Book Company and Ingram Micro (the 2 biggest book and computer software
distributors). Allen Communications Group and Parallel Communications will
handle literary and computer market promotions respectively. A hybrid CD for
both Mac and Windows platforms will first be produced with the distinct
possibility of a CDi version released either in conjuction with the Mac/Win
version or soon thereafter.
The contract will be for multimedia reprint rights of the art, for the
3 platforms specified. We are unable to pay advances at this time, (though
we're trying) however, the royalty schedule will be based on wholesale unit
price and increase in precentage as sales increase.
If interested please contact either myself or Kathy Henderson (VM's
senior editor – 71660,3100) via e-mail to discuss the possibilities and sample
submissions procedure. Or stop by our on-line support and development are of
the COMART forum, Section 16 – Visionary Media.

art together with multimedia to present a unique new storytelling adventure for
children and young adults. Toward that end, we're always looking for talented
people that feel the same we do about our ideals. If this project is not suited
to your style of art, please stop by our section of COMART often as projects

Please do not post a response to this message as I may not check in
frequently. E-mail or COMART posts are the fastest ways to grab me.
Thank you
