Writer/Programmer Looking for Artist and/or Musician

[Mutive]

So...I've been writing for a while and have a few credits under my belt (Daily Science Fiction, Every Day Fiction, Penumbra, etc.). I've also been working on Python and started playing around with Ren'Py as a fun way to learn more about how to use the language and have created a couple of (very basic) visual novels.

I'd like to try something more ambitious. I'm a huge fan of Chinese literature and would love to take on a (very simplified) version of Hong Lou Meng (Dream of Red Chambers/Story of the Stone). However, while I can condense the novel into a game, I'm a terrible artist, so can't do much for sprites/background. (And custom music would be great, too!)

So what I'm hoping is that there's an artist out there who'd *love* to create (or already has lying about and is happy to let me use them!) a couple of sprite collections of (primarily) women in Qing dynasty Chinese costumes. (I can provide historical costume guides.) I can probably complete the project with two female characters (with a number of expressions a piece), although if you happen to feel like drawing more, it would be awesome, as I could add in the main character (vs. have him be silent), other minor characters, etc.

A musician who wanted to add background music would also be amazing, although I feel like that might be farther along. (Seeing as it's hard to even know what music I'll be able to use until I know what characters will/won't appear!) I can provide more details as to more or less what I'm thinking, if this sparks any interest. Thanks so much!

If you're looking into starting this project, the "We are a Free Project looking for Partners" forum (or the other forum if you're going into commercial work) is more suitable for your thread.
I started from scratch and found my team here in LemmaSoft, so I wish you the best mate!

Thanks! I will head over there!
