[Closed] Free background artist needed! Thank you!

#1 Post by Ran08 » Fri Jul 18, 2014 1:31 pm

This is weird. This is gonna be super weird, I just know it. :o I apologize for the weirdness of this post. :(

Ahem.

Like what the title says, I'm looking for a free background artist. Omooo, I know free artists are hard to find, ESPECIALLY background artists, but... pretty please, hear me out? Haha.

I just need 3 backgrounds. (Or maybe just one!) :) My game, The Thing With Mistletoes, is a crime drama of sorts. It tells the story of a sister looking for her kidnapped brother. And since it's a kidnapping case, you can expect that police departments have to come into the picture. Hahaha.

The problem is, I've searched almost everywhere, yet I can't find a suitable background. :( For a placeholder, I searched for a CC image, then just filtered it to the best of my abilities, however I realized that I can't just show an outside view of a dark police station. (The picture was taken at night.)

I'm gonna need...
- an outside view of a police station (with day/noon/night variations)
- an inside view (with the desk and stuff... haha, you know, like we see in police stations on TV)
- a detention center, like the one you see in Phoenix Wright games. :) Or, yeah, like the ones you see on TV where people do the questioning and stuff. Hahaha. (That room with the table and chairs and a two-way mirror.)

If you can point me to a place where I can find the latter two, then that would be awesome! However, I understand that the first one still needs to be a custom one, especially since the variations are a must. :(

I don't mind even if you put up the backgrounds for Creative Commons afterwards. :) Hey, sharing is caring right? Haha. Plus, who knows if someone in the future would need a police station BG too for their VN? :) I don't really mind sharing my resources, especially if I got them for free. Haha.

I'm not an artist, hahaha, but I can help with some basic programming, testing, idea-bouncing, and of course, writing. :) So... at the very least, I could offer some sort of a skill trade. ^^

Please post here or PM me if you're willing to help out. :)

Thank you oh-so-much from the bottom of my heart!

I saw this thread and thought, hey, why not?
I haven't done much in the way of background work, but I'm always looking for excuses to expand my skills with everything Illustrator. So I've been trying my hand at the outside view of a police building. I don't think it's turning out half bad.

Still needs things like lines on the road, maybe a few stars in the night version, windows, etc.
Still a work in progress, but is this roughly the kind of thing you're looking for?

@Loxmore_Sin
Thanks for responding! :D

Though actually, somebody contacted me already, (thanks Disciple!) and I'm currently awaiting for his/her reply. :3

Nevertheless, of course your work is not half-bad! :) I think it looks nice already, with just a few tweaks. I appreciate the effort, thank you. ^^ But I'm sure you'll be making awesome looking backgrounds in no time at all!

Again, thanks so much. :)
