Character, item, map, and scene artists needed for educational elements for our in-development educational tabletop RPG.
Be a part of The Skies of Seorsus: a Creative Worlds educational RPG
Project Imo is building out our own tabletop educational opportunities for youth. Our Creative Worlds games integrate immersive tabletop gaming and off-table activities that encourage social-emotional, STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, and math), and conservation learning.
The Skies of Seorsus will feature a partially defined world that allows educators and players to have creative spaces and build themselves into the larger story universe in an inclusive, engaging, and rules agnostic way.
Our Creative Worlds system in-development will be a highly adaptable, easy to implement game that incorporates elements of tabletop role playing, board gaming, formal educational tools, experiential SEL activities, STEAM learning, and conservation education.
We are seeking creative team-oriented artist and illustrators to help bring the world of Seorsus to life through character, bestiary, equipment, and scene artwork. The artistic style of this world is aligned with classic Tolkien, fantasy RPG, or sketch-style with or without color. While we love grimdark, comic-style, and manga, these aren't directly aligned with the current aesthetic we seek.
If you love RPG adventure and helping kids explore natural sciences in creative and prosocial ways, then this opportunity is for YOU!
