Need background artist for fan-made game (with pic refs!)

[DustyBunny]

Hello, everybody! You can call me Dusty! I'm currently making a free visual novel/otome game based on the anime Osomatsu-san, and I would love a background artist based on some screenshots from the anime.

I already have a sprite/CG artist, and I am the writer. I have been planning it for around a few months, and I starting "officially" working on it (with Ren'py) at the beginning of June. I am fairly early into the game, but I am very passionate about it and plan to release it after several months of work or (likely) more.

Being based on an anime, some backgrounds are already available without any characters in the shot. However, some backgrounds I'm having trouble finding, such as the bar (ref), the alley (ref), the inside of the coffee shop (ref and ref), and the fishing spot (ref).

If you are interested in drawing backgrounds like these without the characters present, please let me know. Any help is very much appreciated.

Also, here are some of the sprite art samples in-game:

Oh my!! You're also working on an Osomatsu-san themed game?! I am so excited!! If it will be any help at all, I am debating on whether I should just do the backgrounds for my own, so if you'd like, I could share the backgrounds I use with you!

Good luck to you! And I can't wait to see your completed game!

I need some practice drawing backgrounds, so I can probably do one or two for you. Will I at least be credited in your game? How far along is it?

Yes, you will be credited in the game. I'm still working on the common route, but I already have outlines of the character routes.

Well I can definitely do some for you, if you tell me which ones to do ect ect.

Edit: also looking at those onesー it would be pretty easy for me to just edit out the characters if you'd prefer that.

Ah, that'd be great if you could edit out the characters for the bar, the first coffee shop picture, and the fishing spot! Thanks!

UPDATE: The demo has been posted for PC and Mac! Some character expressions/backgrounds are missing, but other than that, it's the complete first day!

Playtime is about 10 minutes long.

Okay so I did the bar, tell me if this is an acceptable amount of quality.

It was a little difficult to simulate the texture right.
