Looking for artist for Visual Novel (Closed)

#1 Post by dmasterxd » Fri Feb 21, 2014 12:15 pm

Progress: Finishing up the introduction of Part One.

No Pay: It'll be a free Visual Novel and as such I won't have the money needed to pay you.

Summary: Hoshi Mikazuki moves back to his childhood home in a rural town, along with his twin sister Aki. While there Hoshi tries to seek out the girl he had his first kiss with. Meanwhile he attends his first year of highscholl and runites with his childhood freind Rei and meets the spunky Kazuko and the shy Shizuka. Four choices. Only one will make him truly happy.

Anime-style please:

Poses: 4-5 each (minus Hoshi) Also I need emotions like neutral, happy, sad, angry, jealous, worried, crying, and in love (Himura doesn't need love) Also I need everydy clothes and school uniforms. (I would also like swimsuits, but it's not neccesary).

As for Hoshi, I just need two love scenes for each of the girls with him in it. (Preferably one of them being a kiss scene)

Characters:
Hoshi Mikazuki-15 years old, Male. The Protagonist of the story. He is a kind-hearted guy who always tries to please everyone. But he will soon learn that growing up may meaning having to change his ways. He has shoulder length blonder hair and shiny blue eyes. He looks femine and is small for his age and could pass for an eleven year old girl.

Aki Mikazuki-15 years old, Female. Hoshi's younger twin sister. She is genreally very fun and playful around Hoshi and her family. But when she's in public she bcomes very withdrawn. She looks almost exactly like Hoshi only her hair is waist length.

Note: (I'm more lenient with the rest of the characters)

Rei Yoshida-15 years old, Female. Hoshi's childhood friend. She is usally concerned for others. And will always be the firs tone to try and cheer everyone up. However when she get mad. Run. She has blue hair. The rest is up to you.

Kazuko Nakano-15 years old, Female. Kazuko, spunky and outgoing. She is the school's star athlete. She also doesn't like showing her ture feelings most of the time. But that doesn't mean she's not open to sympathy every now ansd then. She has black hair. Again the rest is up to you.

Shizuka Ueno-15 years old, Female. Very shy and withs drawn. She's quiet and many don't notice her or think sh'es just stuck up. However she does care deeply or all of her freinds. She has purple hair. Rest is your choice.

Himura Fukui-15 years old. He's goofy and perverted. Because of this he constantly suffers the wrath of both Rei and Kazuko. Despite this he is still capable of being serious and deep when the situation calls for it. Green hair, muscular. Rest is your choice.

So message me if you're interested.

#Yosuga no Sora

I DO NOT wish to be pessimistic here... but... I mean, even the fact that they're twins are identical...

Hoshi Mikazuki = Haruka Kasugano?
Aki Mikazuko = Sora Kasugano?
Rei Yoshida = Akira Amatsume? (Both dandere personality)
Kazuko Nakano = Kazuha Migiwa? (Both hides true feelings)
Shizuka Ueno = Nao Yorihime?
Himura Fukui = Ryohei Nakazato? (Both perverted)

...Gomenesai... :oops:

What is originality? Undetected plagarism.

Ah, you might struggle then :\ You won't find many artists that are willing to do art for free.

I'll be open to doing some concept art for you though? (only a little, and I'm not very good, but I can try :) )

Hate to break it to you, but there is no such thing as originality anymore.

Lol fail. You know Yosuga no Sora too? I was trying to avoid doing that but oh well. Guess I did it without realizing. Only Himura was on purpose lol. Guess it was a bad idea if I included a train scene too, huh?

Yosuga no Sora is actually quite popular...

Unless you can include a REALLY GREAT backstory (in-depth) for each of the characters...I'd say, you have a rough road ahead...

And in my opinion, train scene...just no xD

Ah, you might struggle then :\ You won't find many artists that are willing to do GOOD (or rather, commercially acceptable) art for free.

Concept art is just art that shows a character/background/whatever. It is used as a reference for artist(s) who make art that will actually show up in the game. In some cases there can be many pieces of concept art made before a final design is decided on.

Concept art is normally only included in the game if it is an unlockable extra in the gallery or something like that. Some people like to see what the original concepts were so that can be a neat bonus.

^ You can think of concept art as lineart, basically. Though it might be closer to a sketch... and yes, sometimes they are an unlockable bonus in the CG gallery.

^Well it doesn't have to be ^^;. Concept art can be fully realized pictures if you want it to. As long as it is just the idea for the character/background/whatever and not the actual piece of work for the game it is still concept art.

As these two just explained what it is, I won't bother, but yea.... I could do a little for you if you want.
And you think it's good enough, I could do some other art (but then again, I'm not a -great- artist, so you might not even want me to do concept art XD)

Hey everyone, thanks for letting me know what concept art is lol. But I found a way around it so I'm good now.

You know I'm starting to realize how stupid it was off me to base Himura off of Ryouhei on purpose and yet not realize all the other charters were similar as well. *Face palm* But I'm too deep into the story to change the characters now. So I guess I gonna have to include a REALLY GREAT backstory (in-depth) for each of the characters. So wish me luck!
