Looking for 80s/90s style visual novel illustrations

#1 Post by InvertMouse » Tue Jun 02, 2015 3:29 pm

Hello there. Hope you are doing well. I am looking for an artist who can mimic the style of visual novels from the 80s and 90s. Something like:

If anyone is interested, please let me know via a reply here or a direct message. Some samples would be preferred though I understand it might be an unusual style.
Thank you!

Awesome, I dont have any ready examples of anime in a style that aged though but I can definitely replicate something like that.

Im am kinda away right now, on business. So I cant make an exact example right away. Though I can do something like Fist of the North Star, Boys over Flowers, and even older like Patalliro when I get back.

I do it for free too, actually I only work 4 free. Just my personal policy. Anyway sprites that aged take very little time to construct.

I have this on my pc just sittin around, Its one of my older sprites. Just some pixel trash. Though Im no good when it comes to bgs... I can draw basic special effects. If I must I can turn any bg picture into a pixel art, but its takes effort... Im bad at bgs.

Sorry for bugging, Im sure you can find a better pixel artist here somewhere.

Thank you for the responses folks :). I have two ongoing projects at the moment, and the game in question isn't really to be announced until later in the year. Sorry for acting all mysterious! Really appreciate the replies everyone :).

Do you want the game to be made with pixel art, or are you thinking about illustrations that mimic that style?

The illustrations I'm thinking about are like the LIPS segments of Sakura Taisen, or visual novels like Divi-Dead:

I am looking for something that mimicks the retro style more than pixel art :). That second reference you posted (not the Sakura Taisen one) is pretty accurate. I would want something even older looking if it is done right. Talking to a few people right now but very happy to receive any more potential interests :).

Sorry, I have to lock your thread. You didn't give any details on your planned project other than "the game isn't going to be announced anytime soon". That's not enough to fulfill our Requirements for Recruitment.
