[Closed][Paid] Sprite Artist for two short-length visual novels

#1 Post by Abyss_Team »

Long time no see from Abyss Team!
We are a small team of game development enthusiasts that has created a few small, non-commercial games over the past few years.

We are looking for a Sprite Artist to do the following:
1. Redraw 1 character from our previous game Goodbye, Emilia.
2. Redesign 1 character from our other previous game Vale.
The two games mentioned above are non-commercial games.
Although both games were created for two O2A2 Jam instances, the new sprites are intended to be used in a new & revamped project release, so as to not conflict with the rules of the jam & to present new content.
We will provide the artist with an art reference document that consists of the characters' basic biographies and clothing references, for ease of work.

The Sprite Artist's style should be similar to Hidari, the character/sprite artist for Fire Emblem Echoes & the Atelier Dusk Series.
From a non-artist's perspective, here's what we're looking for:
- looks like it was drawn with traditional media
- mellow and 'earthy' colours that aren't 'pop'-py or flashy, and somewhat feels a bit washed out
- softer lines, but still visible
- ability to draw characters of all genders, ages, physiques (skin colour, body shape, nationality, etc.), and various fantasy-themed clothes based on various world regions


For examples of Hidari's artwork, see below:

For examples of the currently used in-game sprites, see below:

Please send us your portfolio (or similar), as well as your commission sheet/prices (commercial rates).
You can reach out to us by replying to this thread, private message, or via Discord (Brahmi#0180).

We'll review these and get back to you as soon as possible. Thank you!

Hello. Good day!
Is the job still available?
My style is anime/manga, you can check my gallery here on deviantart. https://www.deviantart.com/ralu11/gallery
I can try to mimic the drawing style of Fire Emblem, if you need that style exactly.
My commission prices are here. I can't give you exact prices for the sprites because I need to know how many facial expressions are needed/outfits etc.

I also have discord, which I will share in private.

Samples:

Hello, I'm very interested in your projects! I'm a sprite artist and character designer with 5 years of experience in visual novels, you can check some of my clients feedbacks here: viewtopic.php?f=62&t=47812

I'm confident I can imitate Hidari's hand drawn-like style (which I'm a fan of), you can check my artworks here: https://mgo.artstation.com/

As for my prices for what you need:
1. Redraw 1 character from our previous game Goodbye, Emilia: If she doesn't need redesign, then the price would be $75 if it's a full body sprite, $54 if it's a half body. This would take less than a week.
2. Redesign 1 character from our other previous game Vale: My price for a full character design is $95 (head, hairstyle, clothes, etc), plus $15 to offer color palette options, plus $13 if you'd want the design finished as a sprite to be used in game (by adding shadows and a clean lineart). This would take a week.

You can check all my prices here: https://mgo.artstation.com/albums/3099077

Thanks for the opportunity!

Hi there!
Not sure if this is still open, but thought I'd try out!
My current examples are in a thread here.
viewtopic.php?f=62&t=66253

But I have a wider type of portfolio here
https://www.deviantart.com/fkdemetri/gallery

Something that might pique your interest in a bit of a different one might be something like this~
https://www.deviantart.com/fkdemetri/ar ... -926750537

I can also change style to match palettes and over all feel to whatever is needed.
If you'd be interested, you can PM me here or pop me off an email at frostkingdesigns@outlook.com
