[Open][Paid] Visual Novel Artist Needed

#1 Post by nerovsgod »

I need an artist to illustrate a visual novel I'm working on. Ideally, one person would do entire scenes for the sake of cohesion (like in the game Slay the Princess).

The game is about the internet, growing up with it, how it changes people and what it's (d)evolved into. It's set in grimy eastern Europe.

I'm looking for someone who ideally grew up on the internet and is deeply familiar with online culture, adobe flash games, early 2000s dating sims, anime and visual novels, as well as someone who has a great sense for expressive characters, exaggerated angles, anatomy etc.

I'm going to need hundreds of images, however I do hope to work with you in coming up with a style that is expressive but simple enough to make that it doesn't require too much time per image. I'm looking for a person to share ideas with and model the project together as we go.

This is also an 18+ game, a commentary on the internet which includes nudity, gore, profanity etc. So only apply if you're comfortable with being somewhat edgy.

$10k is my starting budget, I'm open to a revshare model on top of that if the game ends up making a profit. The project is not yet ready for illustration, as I still need to write the full script, but we could work on some key art now and tackle specific scenes down the line.

Hi,

I'm an 2D illustrator focused on anime-style visual storytelling with experience in both character and background art. I have an experience working in anime title and a visual novel game as a background artist. While I didn’t play many early 2000s Flash games or dating sims, just a couple of them. I grew up with anime, and visual novels like Steins;Gate had a big influence on me.

I'm confident in delivering expressive characters, dynamic scenes, and maintaining style cohesion across entire sequences. I'm also comfortable working with mature content and would love to collaborate on shaping the visual tone of your story.

I’m open to both your starting budget and the revshare model. Happy to share my portfolio if you're interested!

Hello there! The project sounds intriguing as someone who grows alongside the internet and played the flash games and old visual novel games mentioned above. I adore the writing in Slay the Princess and would love to be considered for the project if my artwork and prices fit with your vision.

My artworks, fees and tos can be found in the link here: https://nagifry.carrd.co/#

Thank you for your time!

Hey! I really like your project—sounds awesome.

You can check out my work here: https://lydius6.wixsite.com/hi-lydius

I'm heavily influenced by 2000s internet culture—animes, flash games like dress-up games, chat rooms (Club Penguin, Gaia Online), webcomics (Homestuck), and visual novels like Saya no Uta, Clannad, or Higurashi. Growing up with these shaped my art style and passion for illustration.

My style leans toward semi realistic but i don't shy away from NSFW and gore, I have a strong grasp of anatomy and can adapt to different styles easily. I sketch quickly (great for thumbnails), though final cleanups take about a day.

What can i say, as a 1998 artist and a gen-z-millenialish person r****en.com raised me, along side other internet folkor
This to say, i can introduce myself and 10 years of experience in art while working on projects ranging from shoujo to spooktomber gore, yet i am interested About what is this game about?
I want to know how would you tangle our childhood with modernhood, a project to look forward fr, is there any place you post updates on or about? Very curios.

My art style ranges from complexity and semi-realism into anime and simplified cartoony art... A sweet balance can be found and i am known to make ideas to come to life

Here is my itchio for previous games i worked on :
