Hey everyone! As you may know, we are recruiting for new artists to do the character art and CGs for Lads in Distress, a free otome visual novel based on fairy tales.
Game Information
[GxB] Otome, Fairy Tale, Romance, Fantasy, Comedy
General Recruitment Information (Applicable to All Positions Below)
- Anime art style preferred
- Highly prefer someone who can draw / color in a style somewhat similar to our already finished sprites (which can been found here), but this is not a must! So send in your applications anyway!
- No real deadline, so there’s no rush to get the art done!
- These are unpaid positions! -- Lads in Distress is a free-to-play game. It is basically a labor of love, so unfortunately, we have no budget to commission artists. None of us in the team has received any payment or profit from this either. We will, of course, credit you in game for your work, and our eternal gratitude.
- Discord communication preferred, but not necessary.
- If interested, please send in an application according to the guidelines in the last section of the post.
Specific Recruitment Information
1-2 Character Artist(s)
- Sprites for 11 characters (10 side characters, 1 main love interest)
- If we manage to find multiple character artists, then the workload can be split in half. So please apply anyway even if you think you can’t do so many!
- As mentioned, there is no real deadline, so there’s no rush to get the art done! Hopefully, that makes the workload sound less daunting.
- Requires custom design by artist(s)
- Will be working closely with the writer to make sure the design fits the characters’ personalities / background etc.

- The artist can decide how many they want to do within that range (or more if they want We wouldn’t say no!)
- If we manage to find multiple CG artists, then the workload can be split. So please apply anyway even if you think you can’t do so many!
