"What Lies Below " is an animated feature film seeking a visual development artist to create a series of concept drawings & paintings for the project. We are looking for an artist who has a portfolio that leans towards the realistic side of the universe.  We need to design creatures that look both alien and dinosaur-like at the same time.  And we need to be able to sell the scale of the underground civilization that lives 5 miles below us. Pay will be deferred until the project is sold.

SYNOPSIS:
What if the meteor that collided with earth 65 million years ago didn’t actually kill off all of the dinosaurs?  What if instead, a group of intrepid survivors took refuge underground: burrowing and building huge subterranean caverns, developing speech, written language, technology, and evolving into a fearsome cross between dinosaurs and aliens?  While these evolved dinosaurs have indeed flourished over the millennia, they have finally outgrown their steamy home five miles beneath ours.  There is only one place to go…UP…to the surface!  And it’s up to a fatalistic tour guide to overcome a childhood trauma, unlock his mysterious powers and save the world from what lies below.
