Hello, this is James Brown of Team Mimiru, I am in the middle of creating a cute and funny story called "Mimiru!" We need a background artist to join this team!
About Mimiru:
“Mimiru!”, is an visual novel styled audioplay and is inspired from a wide range of animation, like the anime “Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-Kun,” American animation like “Steven Universe” and the Korean web animation “There She Is!!” with character concepts created as early as 2005. It’s charm relies heavily on the cute and comedic interaction between Kentaro the Cat and Mimiru the Bunny as they attempt to live a normal school life in the town of Suntail that gets stranger with the appearance of a magic book with a connection to Kentaro’s missing family. Comedy, fantasy, and slice-of-life elements permeate the three episode series in production, and should the series continue afterwards, we will be able to expound on them further. Additional characters include the shy and easily startled Jay Blubyrd, the rich and pompous Christina, the absent-minded Mr. Owle, Jay’s parents, James and Janett, and the teachers, like the closet gamer Sam Smaulet and polite and proper Charlotte Annesley.
When the trio of Mimiru, Kentaro and Jay are forced to create a story of fiction based on what they do together during summer vacation, the three head to the oldest library in town for some inspiration and references. However, when they accidentally discover an old book hidden from even the librarian’s knowledge in a secret room, They are whisked away by the it’s magic into what appears to be a mystical winter world! It’s up to the three of them to find out the secret to using the book’s powers to get back home, and it’s connection to the mysterious disappearance of Kentaro’s family over a year ago. All this, while evading the wings of this world’s most powerful user of magic, known only as the Ice Queen, who intends to use the book for her own cold-hearted plans.
Character designs on here: http://teammimiru.wix.com/mimiru#!cast/r88h9. We are looking for someone able to create a style fits these sprite designs. Right now we were have photo manipulated images but we'd really want to avoid this. As I am working on writing, sprite design, social media and working back and forth with our voice actors and composers, I have very little time to design quality backgrounds right now, so this is a must for me to find a creative and fun-loving person willing to join in on the fun.
Right now this project is considered a free project. We do not have a budget for myself or any of the talent working on this project. But the potential is there for paid work in the future once we get this project out there, and future work will be. However, priority will given to those who were willing to help us prior to that, to be fair.
This is a great project with big potential, I hope you consider sending samples of your background work to teammimiru@gmail.com along with the best ways to contact you. Please include a Skype of strongly consider getting one if you do not have one. You can also send questions to this email or here as well (I will be quicker to respond via email though, as I am constantly moving around these days)
Thanks and I hope to hear from you all soon!
