[Need Anime Artist Any Skill Level!] Male Sprites

[AmityAngel]

- Just to clarify, I said "Any Skill Level" but by that I mean you must be at least as good at art as me (which isn't that good, don't worry! I'm an amateur still) because I will be drawing the female sprites and I am looking for someone to draw the males. Here are my best digital art examples: http://amityangel.deviantart.com/art/Belva-565838016 http://amityangel.deviantart.com/art/Sn ... -550441652

So, if you meet that requirement, please continue reading~

Hey everyone~ ^^ So I'm making a visual novel right now, and I have a problem - I'm awful at drawing guys and 2 of the 4 characters in my visual novel are male. ^^; So I was wondering if anyone might be interested in drawing their sprites?

It would be 4 thigh-up sprite drawings total, each with 3 different facial expression.
For each character:
Front-Facing Happy, Sad, and Neutral
3/4-Facing Happy, Sad, and Neutral
It may seem like a lot, but really, it's just 2 drawings per character as changing the expression only is easy.

As examples, here are the sketches for the sprites I've done for one of the female characters:

And of course, all of the sprites would be digitally lined and colored with a transparent background, like this:
http://amityangel.deviantart.com/art/Al ... -564461879 (except it's thigh-up as in the sketches)
They don't need to be any exact resolution.. as long as they generally look like they could fit into a VN, I can do those adjustments myself. (So long as they aren't ridiculously low-res)

As for who you'd be drawing, I have references for only one of them, I know the color scheme of the other, but you're free to play around with their outfit however you'd like.
Here's the reference for one of the guys, Eminis: http://biscuit-kitty.deviantart.com/art ... -529392598 http://suriichan.deviantart.com/art/CM- ... -547391785 (He's on the right) http://www.sta.sh/019u3xfjx70i <-- this sketch is why I refuse to draw the male sprites for this VN..

Additionally, here is the website for the visual novel so you can see information on the story: http://princesscarcutie.wix.com/somnus (the home page also plays the theme song)

As far as payment goes, I can only really offer you $5 per sprite.. so, that would be $20 total for all 4. (with all the facial expressions) I know that's pretty cheap, so I understand if that's too low for many people. ^^; (Though for my own skill level, that's very high. I usually can only make like 50 deviantart points for my own art.. All I really care about is if your art at least matches mine in skill and doesn't contrast too much with my sprites) I'm hoping that the storyline and premise is interesting enough to make up for the small pay.. And of course, you'll be credited directly on the visual novel and the website! So people who play it will know you drew the male sprites~

So, if you're interested, let me know and I'll give you more information on the other male character, their personalities, or anything else you want/need to know. =D

Also, as far as time limit goes.. I would like it if all 4 sprites were done by 3 months from now. And payment would be full up-front after I see a rough sketch of one sprite (as an example to make sure I'm okay with your art style.)

In the event that more than one person responds, I will pick the one whose art most suits the visual novel.

I would prefer if those interested would respond via my deviantart or e-mail, as I don't frequent these forums. My deviantart username is AmityAngel, and my e-mail is sarahcumpston@yahoo.com. Thank you and have a nice day! <3
