my suggestion : make the shading stronger to emphasize his face structure, and rather than using black as accent line on his face, use lighter color closer to his skin color. Look at Spiderverse's Gwen below for reference. Notice how the lines on her face doesn't take away the attention from her fac...

Your art in 2018 seems consistent enough to me, as well as those in 2019. I think they look different because the character's hair style changed, along with the color palette and shading style of the eyes. I actually suffer the same style inconsistency until this moment, but it's not necessarily a b...

Lovely work! What if you do not have a budget? What if you don't have a budget, eh? I'm not Akihiko but I thought I'll help them answer those question since I'm an artist myself. If you don't have specific budget, it may be a good idea to just state that you're willing to spend max $... per sprite ...

It's Donmai! Thanks for reminding me. I'm always bad at remembering name DX. But those Sound is Toxic is also one of very well made 3d vn I've ever seen. Thanks for the suggestion! Just look at this scene => https://img.itch.zone/aW1hZ2UvMjkzNDk3LzE0MzE1MzkucG5n/original/mMugZP.png I don't know the ...

I think regarding first impression about 3d vn, it depends on how you present your game. I mean, does yours have overly sexy character in the cover? If your vn is not about smut, then simply don't present it like it's a smut game. And people who take interest on your vn will most likely read the tag...

If you're looking for place where you can do crowd funding, 2 options with the best traffic are Kickstarter and Indiegogo. Both has their own strong points and weaknesses, which you can research on your own. As for some tips, it'll be easier to reach funding goal when you already have a lot of suppo...

If your game doesn't have any gameplay or it's a basic visual novel, I would suggest start from script because it's the foundation of story based game like visual novel. You can find how many assets you will need from it, such as character sprite, their expressions, how many background you will need...

Just want to point out that there seems to be waves of spambot lately, or spambot disguised as user that post a comment in various threads (mostly in 'general discussion'). Their comment is always short and pretty general in term on content, something like 'this is a nice post' etc, sometimes it's n...

I think it can be easier to get the numbers if you already have the artist. When you know how much they charge per sprite, pose, and expression, you just need to sum everything up and the numbers will be there. Or alternatively, you can also set the budget from the start. For example you only want t...

Since everybody has thank Pytom for creating Ren'py, I want to thank Pytom for building a wonderful community like Lemmasoft!

Fyi, 'We are offering Paid Work' category is for when you post a paid job and you're looking for people to be recruited to your team. Since you're offering your service, the correct category for this post will be this : https://lemmasoft.renai.us/forums/viewforum.php?f=63 (I am a Writer, Editor, Pro...

you're not the only one whose post was deleted. I remember around last month there's a recruitment post that also got deleted without any reason. The best way to know is to ask pytom himself, but like offworlder said, he has his own life, so you should be more patience if you want things to work out...

have you tried reverse search on google image?

Hmm.. personally, I think it'll be hard to give art direction if you don't know much about art yourself. You need to have eye for composition, lights and shadows, good color combination, basic of anatomy, etc. That's why art director usually came from those with art background. Even if you're not, y...

I also have to put my project on hiatus for almost a year now due to some reasons, and I'm sure a lot of people here have the same thing happened to them too, so you're not the only one. However I've also finished the foundation of my vn; script, art direction, character designs, etc so when I'm fin...
