Call for Illustrators

Help Me Bring the Nine Americas to Life

The Nine Americas are still being drawn, and I’m looking for illustrators to help draw them — concept art, character design, and illustration across the books, games, and worlds to come.

If that sounds like your kind of work, introduce yourself and share your portfolio. I’d love to see it.
