I need a temporary artist (Free)

Hi, I am part of a team developing a visual novel.
I have designed four side characters to be presented to my team. Unfortunately, I am a poor drawer.
I need someone to draw the four characters with multiple positions and with face close ups with different expressions. The art doesn't need to be high quality or even in colour, because it is only concept art.
I can accept multiple submissions for different artists interpretations. I will put all of them in a folder and present to my team.
The pieces will need to be completed as promptly as possible.
Thank you.

:v it'd be nice to give an overview for what the characters are like and the story and maybe how far you're into the project. I'm guessing that you're saying that you just want the concept art for the characters, right?

You may have heard of the project, it's called Missing Stars! The progress is going okay so far. It's about a school for people with mental disorders.

I have four side characters- Josef Novak, Mirza Geier, Clara Schmidt and Henrik Kozma. All four have mental disorders. I don't want to reveal full biographies until someone agrees to do it.

:v it'd be nice to give an overview of their appearance and personality even if you don't give a full bio so the random passing people can take a look at whether or not they'll help you with the concept art. People aren't going to steal your stuff...

Sorry to butt in but you don't actually need to reveal their full biographies. What I did with mine is just post the name, age, birthday, blood type, likes, dislikes and hobbies to get people going. It doesn't really reveal everything about them but it reveals enough to pique people's interest. The point of showing info on your work is so that potential artists can see whether or not they'd want to help you with the art, especially since you're asking for free work. Giving out two or three short sentences about the game doesn't really reflect the fact how much progress you've made with it. Lesser chances of inquiries if you keep too many secrets about your game.
Think of it as advertising your game without giving away too much; show the game's logo if you have one already, give a summary of the game, a few tidbits about the characters, a specific (or estimate) amount of work you're asking for, and other
basic info they
should know, just so people know what they're getting into. Plus showing progress (ie "I have about 50% of the writing down blah blah") helps artists see if you're willing to go through with this and if the art won't be wasted. Also, be specific in your first post on what you're looking for. You're asking for an artist, but from the looks of it, you're only looking for a concept artist. But if you'll consider hiring that concept artist as your overall artist for the game, then mention it. Don't be vague.
Also, include links at the end of the post so that if people want to look up more info, they can click on it. If you've got images, add them in! It'll increase your chances because it shows how much effort you've already put into the game.

Well if it's not a lot I may be able to do some concept art. Though I have a part time job so I would be busy at times. Depends on how prompt or detailed you want them.
