OLDROOT STUDIOS / CREATIVE COLLABORATION

BUILD SOMETHING
THAT LASTS.

OldRoot is growing an original superhero universe, and the best worlds are built through people who care about the details. We're interested in meeting co-writers and illustrators who connect with our creative direction and want to explore working together.

PLEASE READ / 001

The important part, up front.

OldRoot is an independent project still being built. We cannot pay creative collaborators at this time. This page is an invitation to express interest, not a job advertisement or a request for free finished work. There is no expectation of work, schedule, employment, royalties, or future payment arising from an inquiry. Any potential collaboration, including credit, creative responsibilities, use of work and rights, would be discussed and recorded in a separate written agreement before anyone starts contributing.

THE CREATIVE DESK / 002

Where you could contribute.

Two focused disciplines, one connected universe. We're looking for people who value collaboration and strong execution.

THE CREATIVE STANDARD / 003

The kind of team we're building.

01

Care for the craft.

We'd rather build one compelling character or scene than chase a dozen flashy but empty ideas.

02

Respect the shared vision.

Bring ideas, ask questions, give thoughtful feedback, and help continuity and character stay consistent.

03

Clear boundaries.

Creative contributions, feedback, credit, and permissions get discussed openly before real work begins.

THE PROCESS / 004

First, a conversation.

  1. Say hello.Tell us which creative discipline fits you, share an existing portfolio link if you have one, and explain what drew you to OldRoot.
  2. See if it's a match.We may reach out to discuss interests, artistic direction, availability, and whether a collaboration makes sense. A reply or placement isn't guaranteed.
  3. Agree before creating.No assignments or use of creative contributions are implied by contacting us. We would first agree in writing on the scope, permissions, rights, attribution and unpaid nature of any arrangement.
CREATOR CONNECTION / 005

Tell us about yourself.

Just an introduction—not an audition or a request for speculative creative work. Please send links to your own existing work, not unpublished OldRoot story pitches, full scripts, or character submissions.

UNPAID COLLABORATION INQUIRYWe are not hiring for paid positions. Any subsequent arrangement would require mutual written terms.
