Hex Chrome holding page

Two looping logos, a ridiculous warning banner, and vibes. That’s the whole mission. Also: we’re quietly assembling artists for BBTTCC.

Illustrators & Worldbuilders

We are building a broken world. We need artists. Paid work, clear scope, repeat commissions for the right collaborators.

BBTTCC (Bunker Busters, Tower Trashers, Castle Crushers … Fourth ... Thing?) is a post-collapse tabletop RPG setting blending occult mysticism, political struggle, strange technology, and mythic ruin. It also involves silly voices and nonsense. Could Putin and Gandalf get out of an escape room together? What about if your grandfather was there too? Or Ralph Maccio? We aim to find out!

This is a living world built for long-term play, not a one-off book. We’re assembling a small, trusted pool of artists to help define its visual identity as it grows increasingly groovetastic.

Circuits and Sigils - What We’re Looking For

Current Visual Direction (Reference Only)

The images and video below are UTTERLY AI Slop. Not proud of that ... but ... They exist ONLY to communicate tone, density, and emotional weight — not as final assets.

Our goal is to replace these references with original, human-made work. WE WILL NOT SELL AI GENERATED ART. WE WILL NOT USE YOUR ART TO TRAIN AI. Nor do we expect you to emulate AI workflows or match these references precisely. Look at them, and see what your brains are inspired to do!

What these references communicate

  • Heavy atmosphere and strong contrast
  • Mythic but grounded scale
  • Readable silhouettes at multiple sizes
  • Strange, political, lived-in worlds
  • Artwork that works as both splash and UI-adjacent content
  • Circuits and sigils grow on everything like moss. The world's skin is healing.
  • We hope you like hex shaped things as much as we do. (Not really, no one does)
Faction parley scene reference
Faction parley — top-down tactical clarity with weird-tech overlays.
Occult weather front with lightning reference
Weather front — oppressive sky, violent light, and “the map is alive” energy.
Trade convoy settlement reference
Trade convoy — colorful survival, market life, and readable settlement density.
Captain Robot character reference
Circuit Riders — pulp sincerity, weird tech, and faction silhouette identity. Captain Robot is DEFINITELY a robot.
Jackalope character reference
Jackalopes — folk myth + hard logistics. Horns, runes, and quiet threat. Look at the bones!!
Proselytizer character reference
Proselytizer — faith-as-weapon, iconography, and holy menace. Biblically accurate landspeeder.
Attaccountant character reference
Attaccountants — number-witch war shamans. Audit magic. Bad vibes. Great vibes.
Avuncular Joans character reference
Avuncular Order — competence, mercy-with-teeth, and leadership that stabilizes a hex by existing.
Tired of Waiting reference
Church energy — devotion, exhaustion, and “we are summoning answers ourselves.” Do not mess with this person.
Lexichaun reference
BBTTCC native species - a Lexichaun - an Anthropomental.
Mall Rat reference
Snoochie boochies, post apocalyptic technomagical survivor noochies ...
Sick Ollie reference
That 90's Faction has dreams of using this thing to grind down the side of a mountain. No not like snowboarding our thing is different.
Narrative beat reference — tone, pacing, and world texture. And only showing Michael Bay movies.
Narrative beat reference — tone, pacing, and world texture. Also cuteness.
Narrative beat reference — tone, pacing, and world texture. And more hexes.
Narrative beat reference — tone, pacing, and world texture. And this is a thing that exists.

BBTTCC is not looking for volume — it’s looking for voices. If your art belongs in a world that has already survived the end of things, we’d like to see it. Also we lied about this being a fake website. Punch and pie.
