[Open] "Eisai", a slice-of-life, college-based VN, is looking for artists and musicians

Hello everyone! I'm Leonhart231, posting on behalf of Shotglass Studios for our game called "Eisai".

Story/genre
Eisai is a visual novel about first impressions, how they are often what they first seemed, and how strangers in new places can surprise you. The main character, running from a dysfunctional family, hopes to get a fresh start in college after being accepted to a prestigious honor society program called “Eisai”. But the studious young introvert quickly learns that “fresh starts” require embracing that which you’re not used to and leaving your comfort zone. It’s a comedy, a drama, a romance…a slice of life!

You can see the current state of the game by downloading the current version here on GitLab. The writing and programming is basically complete, but we need some art assets and music to finish it up.

Here's a few more images from the game so you can get a feel for the style: Who is on the team
Wolvenfire86 is the creative lead and main writer for the project. I, Leonhart231, am the programmer.

What we're looking for
We are looking for artists able to work for free on backgrounds and a couple smaller tasks like a couple visual effects, plus people who can work on music for the game.

We're looking for about 17 backgrounds in total for. You can see the current ones here. The visual effects would be things like smoke and rain overlays to be added to scenes. Music is more open ended and doesn't have a firm plan or set of requirements.

If you are interested, please get in touch and send/link some examples of your work. Thank you very much for your time, and I look forward to hearing from you!

Updates
2019-02-19: We have filled the sprite artist position, but are still looking for a background artist.
2020-01-23: Updated the current status of the game and links and re-opened the sprite artist position.
2021-04-19: Updated the current status again, closed the sprite work, and added music.

Hello, I sent you examples of my sprites in private message.
Does your project have a particular deadline?
