The Right Artist is Essential For Board Games!

And how we found ours...

Salutations Survivors,

Have you ever picked up a board game mainly because you were drawn to the gorgeous artwork?

Have you ever put a game back on the store shelf because you couldn’t get past the off-putting art?

Many have had these experiences which is why finding the right artist for a game is so important.

And it’s not just about beauty either, it’s also about:

  • Communicating the appropriate tone and aesthetic of your game - Exploding Kittens and 7 Wonders have vastly different art styles for a reason.

  • Building a strong brand around your game - There’s a reason you can look at some digital paintings and think “That’s a Magic the Gathering art style”

  • Professionalism - whether the game has a quirk style a la Exploding Kittens or something more detailed, an experienced artist will create work that makes your game look legit.

With all these factors considered, here’s how we found the perfect artist for our game, Soul Survivor:

The Job Application

We posted the job opening on our Instagram page (give us a follow!) and received over 600+ applications!

Interviews, Interviews, Interviews

After parsing through hundreds of resumes, we selected a handful of candidates to move forward to the interview stage.

Making the Offer

Although it was a tough decision as each candidate we interviewed immensely talented and brought something unique to the table - there was a stand out!

With a contract signed and images in the works, we’re excited to announce our artist….
