Also in need of artist >.< (updated with linked styles)

[squark]

Well, I can plug ahead with coding, that's no big deal.
But what I'm looking for is someone to draw the characters for me.
What I'd dearly love is a more sharp look -- less along the huge watery eyes look of MÄR and more along the linse of Izumi and Lust from FMA.
(EDIT: Or stuff like the picture of Ran on the cover of the Texhnolyze Box Set)
Also, some chibi would be appreciated for light-hearted scenes such as:

in one scene, the player character clunks her new friend on the head with a loose pipe she just found.

I'm asking a lot, but I could also do with a background artist. I just don't like using Real-World images in a fantasy setting... particularly as they could be copyrighted.

I'll probably reply much faster to PM, but I'll check back here every few days.
Thanks!

Peace and Love,
Squark

Small Edit: Like a lot of other people, I'm kinda broke. So I actually can't afford to pay *sighs*

Hi Squark, may i ask what is the project?

[squark]

It's called Raven Hollow (I can't quite remember how I came up with the name).
Here's a short intro move of the first few couple minutes of gameplay. I've done a bit more since then. I'll share the general plot later, if you want but the storyline... Ah, that would give away things.

Thanks for your interest ^^

EDIT: After a short search, I've found that I've misplaced the definitions I'd done out for the characters. Oh hang on, I've just thought of something!

[virtual_vk]

I watched your video, it is VN + RPG, isn't it? it seems like it will be a very cool game
Is it going to be only adventure? or there is romance too?

I would like to see more of your project, if you don't mind sharing

[squark]

I hadn't planned on making another video demo, but when I get a significantly more content coded, I'll post it again.

In the beginning I hadn't planned on romance, but after three story revisions, each less predictable than the last, it may prove to be a little bit of a break for Raine.

I said I'd attatch the Character BIOs when I found them (and I did, yay!)
I'll also attatch a little note on the shorthand abbreviations, though they're not central to the look and feel of the character.

These are vastly different to the stock art I'm currently using.

Oh, Edit: Thanks!

[virtual_vk]

Whoa!! You've got it that much!
You should promote your project more, start a WIP threads ! It hooked peoples and will be easier to get help you need,
as for me I'm not up to the challange (only capable of making school boys/ girls )



Oh, I think you should tell your background story and the setting too.

Promote more!
I'm waiting for your demo!

[squark]

Thanks again ^^v
When I put my mind into things, I really pile on the detail... Shame I can't draw worth a pittance. Oh, and I'll start a WIP thread as soon as I'm happy with where I am right now.

(Been talking about BGCG art with someone else, so perhaps this might start moving faster now:D)

I know this seems kind of late but a question....

In the files there (notes )How about:
A> Ambitious
B> Bold?
C> Creative [Complicated, explanation later]
D> Darkness
E> Enigmatic [Again, explanation later]
F> Fun
G> Pragmatic
H> Honest
I> Intelligent
J>Jolly?or maybe Justifying?
K> Kind
L> Light
M> Magic
N> Compassionate [Placed here as N was the first free letter]
O> Coldhearted [Placed here as C was already taken]
P> Power
Q>Full of Quarrels?
R> Realistic
S> Serious
T> Trustworthy [Probably unimplemented in planned Demo Ver.]
U>Ultramega Superb?
V> Violent
W>Wow!?
X>(I dont know)
Y>Yehey!
Z> Logical [Put here for the hell of it]Zest?

[squark]

I LOLd. I really did. Not at you, but because of you ^^v

I like the Q, but I'd just use "Combative/Argumentative" for that.
Was thinking about having "Just" for J, but I wasn't sure how to use it in context of the game itself. Jolly is part of the Fun trait, but Justifying... I don't know.
Did you mean "Bold" as in "Courageous" or "Misbehaving"?

The other, sillier ones are what made me laugh. You've put a smile on my face, this day ^^

[michi 18]

Thank you for telling me I made you happy^^It's nice to see other people happy!

[michi 18]

N=Neat?
O=Optimistic?

[squark]

Just in case anyone is unclear on the style I'm looking for, what it is is Hiromu Arakawa-esque. But How she drew Izumi in FMA is a definite win for me.

I'd be grateful until the end of my days if anyone could do this for me.

[squark]

Okay, I'm updating this post so there's going to be a better example of the art style I'm looking for.

Either This or This but I could live with This.

This is a more informative post now that there's links to the style(s) I would love to have drawn for me.
