First, I would like to ask you, how familiar are you with my work?

I recommend copying what you write in these forms into another document, as  you will be leaving this page through links from time to time during the application.

Every month, I create a homebrew campaign session as part of a larger campaign, centered around my Dungeon Tile System.

If chosen, your job will be to create the visual parts of the models according to the biome and the mission of the month.

This will include everything from the floor/wall tiles to furniture, props or enhancing the looks of mechanical devices and puzzles that I create.

To best judge who would be the best fit for the job, this application is in the form of a contest. 

You will submit a sample of your abilities as a modeler and the one whose work most closely matches what I am looking for will get the job.

Your work will not be judged on skill or experience, but solely on how well the look matches the style I envision.

Before we go any further, I want to be upfront about the job.

I am currently building this up as a solo enterprise and my funds are limited. I have about $1000 per month in profit, which I hope to be able to split between several freelance job positions.

My hope is that, by investing my current profits into building a team, we will be able to increase the monthly revenue and the funding for freelancers.

To be considered for this position, it is necessary that you share the vision of what this enterprise can become and accept that you are joining a startup in the very beginning and that I most likely won’t be able to pay you your full worth to begin with.

You must also understand that, my revenue can change quickly, and from one day to the other, I might not be able to afford keeping you on.

Great.
First, I want you to take a look at my Dungeon Tile subscription service and the models I have already created.

Links open in a new tab

This is to make sure you understand what your work will be about, should you be chosen for the position.

Every session I make for the campaign will have a different biome.

The first session was Stone/Dungeon
The second session was Wooden

The third session is a Mansion biome, which means affluent decor, fancy floors and walls, and decorations.

I have mostly finished the models for this session, but I still need to make some of the decor, which is organic modeling and not my strength.

Now it’s time for the actual contest.

I want you to create some models for me

Rules:

1. Create one or multiple floor and/or wall models that will fit with my Masterful Dungeons tile system.
2. You may choose to redesign any of my existing designs or create new ones based on the upcoming sessions.
3. You may create as many or as few models as you wish, as long as you make at least one.

This will show me that you are able to take my existing design/system and make something that fits into it.
As mentioned, you only have to make one model to enter into the contest, but the more you make, the better I can see if your style matches what I seek. You can even submit models for furniture, props, and decor if you want to, as long as you submit at least one floor or wall model too.

I am looking for a slightly cartoony-vibe, simple design.
And remember that it should be optimized for 3D Printing.

Now submit the models you have created, by pasting in links in the box below.
You may decide for yourself if you want to send links to the actual models or images or videos, or something else.

But keep in mind that if you share the actual models with me, I’ll have a chance to 3D print them and fully test out how they work and look.

I don’t have the technical skills to create an upload function in a form like this, which is why you need to paste in links.

Thank you for taking the time to share your skills with me.

Now for a very important question:

Would you be OK with me using your submitted designs in my campaign sessions, even if you don’t get the job?

Great.
It’s important that you and I are on the same page.

I firmly believe that sharing your creativity and being willing to freely give away something of value, is the key to a successful enterprise. It creates goodwill, generates free advertising and it shows that you trust yourself enough that you don’t cling to any one idea; “Ideas can be stolen, but they’ll never be able to steal my mind.”

This has been the very foundation of my whole journey since I started, and that’s why I give away all of my 3D models for free.

By answering Yes to the previous question you have shown that you share this belief with me.

That is completely understandable and I will respect your wishes.
Unfortunately, that means that you and I will not be a good fit for each other.

By answering No, to the previous question, you have not submitted any of the filled in information, and I will never see it or use it.
Thank you for your time and for your interest in the position.

Did you use AI for any of this application or do you normally use it in your work or daily life?

(Honesty is more important than the actual answer)

The last thing I want you to do is tell me one thing about you that will let me remember you specifically, even if I were to get hundreds of submissions for this position.

Thank you so much for taking the time to apply.
You may now choose Submit beneath.
