**Please understand that by applying for this position, you will be part of the official/general thumbnail team. This position isn't just specific to thumbnails for Ninja Shadow + Love Tangle, I am just adding this as a general recruitment. 

Artists of all experiences and levels are all welcomed to apply! 

A few years back, I used to have an artist team helping out with thumbnail representation. It had been disbanded due to it no longer being a team effort. Long story short, the same 2-3 people kept doing all the work and I felt it was not fair for them to have to step up all the time. 

How will this work? Thumbnail work is on a voluntary basis. The team will also have to work together to get assignments done. Work will be split into three positions: sketching, lineart, and coloring/shading. You do NOT have to draw backgrounds unless you want to! Otherwise, in-game backgrounds will be provided. Aspect ratios for thumbnails must ALWAYS be 16:9 or 1280x720 pixels. 

The sketch artist will always be the one deciding how the thumbnail will go. When I give out assignments, I will be giving ideas of what I would like for the thumbnail, but ultimately it is up to the sketch artist. They can go with their own idea, or pick one of mine.

I'm not sure if there will be many artists applying, so for now, there will be 1-2 thumbnail assignments per month. Each artist has 2 weeks to get their portion of the work done. If you are doing your own sketches, inking, and coloring, you will get a month to get everything done. So work will kind of be going at a fast pace. 

When submitting your application, in the notes of your audition please let me know which of the following positions you are interested in: sketches, lineart/inking, coloring/shading, or all of the above. If you prefer to do your own work with no help, it would help for you to mention that as well please!

If you do an assignment one month, you will be exempt from doing another assignment the next time one is assigned. That way, everyone pitches in to help!
