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. 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. 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). 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, Kathy Henderson (VM's senior editor), or GreG Tsadilas (assitant to the Art Director) in the Computer Art Forum, (GO COMART), Section 16 – Visionary Media. (GreG is available in the IMAGINE section of the Graphics Developers forum, GO GRAPHDEV) You will run into other author's and artist we're working with in this section of COMART, if in doubt, please feel free to ask questions of them as to VM's objectives and sincerity. Visionary Media is commited to bringing quality literature and superior 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 out ideals. If this project is not suited to your style of art, please stop by our section of COMART often as projects often spring up wihout warning. Thank you Bill Irvine Art Director – Visionary Media, Inc PS- in no way do I want to start any type of competition, applicants will be judge on their current samples of work, please DO NOT create any art specific to this query.
