Lovecraft themed KN needs artist (non-commercial)

[citizen6350]

Hello,

I am new to Ren'py, but I'm a successful professional programmer and I write fiction in my spare time. I'm currently trying to convert a short story (~5000 words) I wrote into a Kinetic Novel using Ren'py. It is an HP Lovecraft-themed psychological thriller ( https://docs.google.com/document/d/1sAj ... cc8byk1ks9 )

This is a non-commercial hobby project, and I'm looking for an artist who is inspired to create visuals for the story in an unpaid, creative, no-pressure relationship.

Being a programmer, I'm happy to work on the code side of things adding interesting transitions and animation code as may fit; though again, I'm new to Renpy.

If interested, please contact me to discuss details.

Thank you,
-Paul

Update:

I've currently got all the text into a ren'py script; next I'll be blocking out where art/animations go.

What kind of art style were you looking for? and How many characters do you think you'll need?

Hi Alexzandria,

The story has one character for most of the story; but let me go through and actually break down the art (since I should do this anyway):

Going through the story right now the character images are:
* main character (normal_talking1, normal_talking2 - page1)
* main character (cellphone not working, slightly upset - page 3)
* main character (using old-style phone, slightly upset - page 3)
* main character (holding the book, satisfied/interested - page 4)
* main character (crazy/dazed ranting - page 5)
* main character (happy talking - page 6)
* main character (scared talking, wide eyes - page 7)
* main character (sleepy, walking - page 8)
* main character (searching bookcase - page 8)
* main character (hysterical laugh/crying - page 9)
* main character (scream - page 9)
* main character (black ichor - page 10)
* main character (drawing magic circle - page 10)
* Dr Zarkin (smiling, creepy - page 2)
* old man 1 (book store, veteran: page 3)
* old man 2 (book store, owner: page 3)
* dark presence over the Void (page 6)
* Zorg (the fifth element) sweating black goo (page 6)
* Shub-Niggurath (monster - page 7)
* Yog-Sothoth (monster - page 7)

While I'm at it, backgrounds include:
* main splash screen
* main character's desk + bookcase (page 1)
* planet view: hurricane/tsunami/storm (page 1)
* Doctor and mother birth scene (page 2)
* Mother A.Z. scar closeup (page 2)
* inside of car at stop light (page 3)
* outside of bookstore (page 3)
* interior bookstore (page 3)
* bookstore shelves (page 4)
* the Void (solid black) (page 6)
* main character's bedroom (page 8,10)

and Props include:
* The Book - on shelf in bookstore (page 4)
* The Book - closed (page 4)
* The Book - open (page 4)
* random books (page 7)
* The Book - blank page (I'll write text over it - page 8)
* The Book - various signs and drawings (page 8)
* The Book - Magic Circle drawing (page 8)
* The Book - drawing of Cthulu (page 8)
* knife (page 10)
* severed hooked tentacle (page 10)
* frames on bedroom wall (get knocked off - page 10)
* Magic Circle (drawn on bedroom wall with black ichor - page 10)
* The Book - on main character's bookshelf (page 11)

That should be close to 100% of the art I'll need (not specifically tasking one person to do it all, heh)
