Looking for BG Artist, Character/CG Artist, and Composer

[Nicodemus_Reborn]

Howdy everyone!

I'm with a small team hoping to create VNs (never heard that before, eh?), and need some assistance from the Lemmasoft community! We are currently looking for a BG Artist, Character/CG Artist, and Composer for our upcoming projects. While the content of these visual novels will dip into the 18+ content, we'd like to keep storyline the main focus. I ask that anyone interested in the Character/CG Artist role keep this in mind - we will eventually need you to draw some lewd creations, haha.

Our project will be a moderate-high magic, medieval fantasy setting. The majority of the VN will take place inside a Mage Academy; however, there are some notable exceptions to this. It's a solid combination of romance, slight comedy, with an unfortunately serious overtone that will continuously influence player decisions towards two (main) branching plotlines.

BG Artists should:
- Be able to draw fantasy/medieval backgrounds like fields, castles, villages, dungeons, a very expansive library, and classrooms.
- Be prepared to create roughly 10-15 backgrounds (maximum), some with variations due to time of day. (Morning scene lighting vs. evening scene lighting)

Character/CG Artists should:
- Be able to draw in a typical anime-VN style.
- Be able to work with me on the conceptualization of several characters, pulling the majority from textual descriptions.
- Be comfortable drawing CGs with 18+ material/adult content, along with various kinks to be discussed.
- Be prepared to create 4-6 character sprites { 2-4 poses each, 1-2 alternate outfits, and 4-6 expressions.}
- Be comfortable with combat-oriented CGs.

Composers should :
- Be able to create a variety of tracks, ranging from heartfelt and soft/relaxing/tense combat/etc.
- Be patient with my lack of experience on this aspect of VN creation. I am unsure what our current requirements will be.

Hi! I'm Roz and I'm interested in applying for the Character/CG Artist position! Examples and pricing can be seen here, though unfortunately I don't have many examples to show. And while my style isn't the typical anime style, I'm flexible with working with other styles. Base prices are for noncommercial works, but if your project is commercial I can work within your budget!

I worked with visual novels before, having created Munster Academy and boy within a short amount of time (1-2 weeks). I'm rather familiar with the Ren'py engine and know some very basic python. If you're interested, feel free to PM me or contact me via skype (my username is maihoa.t7).

If not, I wish you luck with your project and finding an artist!

Hey Nic! Quick question -- will this be your first game?

[Nekobako]

Hello! I'm seconding M4uesviecr's question.

Also, regarding the R-18 scenes, is it fair to assume that they're M/F? Or are there other combinations as well? I think it might be good to at least specify what kind of pairings will be featured in R-18 scenes as that can be a determining factor for some artists....such as myself. ;D

Good luck with your project!

Hey Nic! Quick question -- will this be your first game?

Yep! This will be our first game, and is going to be a huge learning experience for me and the rest of the team. We are trying not to shoot too high (despite what the 'maximum possible content' might seem), but I tend to be pretty predisposed to dreaming big.

For this project, it's going to be M/F only. Not specifying was definitely an oversight on my part, whoops! And thanks!
