Background artists needed

#1 Post by luciap » Mon Jul 29, 2013 2:30 pm

We are a VN group found here: http://www.pureheartgames.deviantart.com, and we need background artists for our project: Familiar Academy, preferably free (as you will get a free copy of the game). If you want to do just one, or all, we accept anyone who's willing to help us out. :D Message me for any questions, more details, or anything else that may come to mind. Thank you for your time. :D
Some of the backgrounds needed are as follows:
Front view of an academy building during day
Front view of an academy building during night
School hallway
close-up of a rich house
rich house in distance behind gate
kitchen
living room
rich house bedroom during day
rich house bedroom during night
cave dungeon
ballroom
park during day
park during night
destroyed house
park bench
dorm hall
guys dorm room for 2 people
girls dorm room for 2 people
forest at night
garden
auditorium
gym
hospital room
hot springs with separator
library during day
library during night
waterfall spring
one person attic dorm during day
one person attic dorm during night
cave room with ancient figures and ancient markings

For questions asked:
There are a lot of images, because there's quite a few locations as it is in essence a school, and different classes will be incorporated into the game.
the webs.com page is no longer being used, so I will take it down as soon as I can
We want it to be a commercial game, but if push comes to shove(meaning no one wants to help out by contributing), it will be a non-commercial game. Because I don't want to use images for a commercial game that are intended for non commercial games. Credit goes where credit's due so I hope this helps. :)

Just so that there is no misunderstanding: you are looking for background art to be used for a commercial VN, and you are offering a free copy of the game as the only payment for your background artist(s), correct?

I don't think they're offering it as payment. I think they mean something more like, "we're looking for unpaid artists for a non-commercial project".

Still, that's a lot of BGs. It might be easier to accomplish with a free artist if you make do with less BGs. That, or use an alternate method like CC art or photos.

I think Taleweaver's interest in clarity is a smart thing to ask since previously when recruiting luciap has said "we are looking to sell it eventually". So it sounds like this project is intended as a commercial release but it is not really clear. Maybe you're right and it won't be a normal commercial game or commercial at all. Still a full explanation on the plans for this project would be helpful for potential artists. Hopefully luciap adds that :].

Ah, perhaps you're right. I stand corrected if so ^.^

Following the link to their DA account (and from there to the project website) leads me to think this may be a commercial release (demo will be for sale for $1, at least from what the project website says), so I guess this is worth mentioning here. Unless I'm wrong and luciap corrects me.
