A different sort of style (for hire) *updated 7/3/13*

#1 Post by alexwhite » Tue Apr 10, 2012 8:04 am

Hello everybody! I'm Alex, and I'm really new at this. I've always wanted to make an vn but you know, I'm a programming idiot. complete failure, no talent at all. But, I can sorta draw, so i would love to start out my vn experience by joining a group rather than creating my own vn from scratch, because that might kill me.

um, Ok, you'll want to see some art. Obviously I don't have art specially made for a vn because i've never done this sort of thing but I can learn, and I am willing to learn. My style is not for everyone but I can switch styles if necessary, though it my take a few tries.
Some of my arts. This is my normal style

Some random style tests

Oh I forgot. I can draw 18+ any type. I'm most experienced in the homo, but i can do lesbians and straight pairings if asked

you can find more of my work at
http://ywangart.daportfolio.com/
and
http://blinkingkills.tumblr.com/tagged/arting be warned, this link has 18+ art

My rates? if you are interested you can shoot me a pm and we can discuss it.
If you are poor and/or a college student like me, but have a good idea, send me your proposal and I will read it. If I think its interesting and worth pursuing, I am willing to defer payment. On off chance that the project succeeds and you end up making some money, a bit of kickback would be only fair, don't you think? If not, well, at least it was an interesting project.

Genres I'm interested in:
Scifi
Crime/mystery
Holmsian stories
Mafia/Yakuza/Triad
Dating Sims that incoorperate this sort of thing
Humor (I know my art doesn't really lend itself to humor, but I am proud to say that I can write Crackfic like a baus)

What will make me run away screaming:
Drawing tons of girly girls.
Drawing tons of girly men.
Drawing shota/Lolita
Prison Rape (don't give me that enzai stuff, it was interesting ONCE)
I don't like real non-con, I love bondage and bdsm but you know, it should be consensual, or dub-con.

i hope someone recruits me too. Unfortunately my style is a little western for most VN people, and my lack of experience will probably deter the ones that are curious.

Well, if you're for hire, it could be helpful to put what prices you have, if it's negotiable, etc.

Pfft, I think your art is gorgeous.

Edit: Or if people should message you for prices, if you don't want to discuss it here.

Mang, never change your style just because it isn't "anime." This western comic book style just screams intensity and that may be what some VNs are looking for: INTENSITY. Are you working for free or want pay? If you're free, I'll shoot you a PM later.

well, of course i would like pay, but if i read your ideas and like it, i am willing to defer payment (aka if it succeeds and you make some money, kickback would be nice)

Edit:
I've always wanted to see a VN drawn in a more fusion western/eastern style. Its what i want my style to eventually look like, you know? western enough to be able to work in america, but sort of an anime touch to it to represent my asian roots.

That is actually exactly the style I'm going for on one of our future projects: How to Be a Successful Villain. Your artwork is tremendously impressive; I will definitely run it by you once we start recruiting.

I don't think this counts as 'sort of drawing' - this is amazing.

Your art is gorgeous. *________* -stares-

If I weren't a broke college student, I would hire you just to draw awesome stuff for me to look at all day. XD

O_O Wow! That's amazing! I'm sure anyone that recuits you will be very lucky!
I personally would love to see more VNs with western style, i love western comic book art.

(heck, if i had the money and a project in need of an artist i would totally hire you. but we already got someone, well maybe someday if i ever work on another project i'll keep you in mind.)
