However, I don't have a whole lot of money that I can throw around, so I need to budget myself. I don't want to underpay anyone, and I realize that my standards of quality are a bit high for a project like this.

Also note that for the 'rights' part of the agreement, the artist maintains copyright of the work, but I'll need to be given the legal right to replicate/reproduce/modify the work for my own purposes (basically, a license to use the artist's work in my project and related efforts).Īs for payment, that will have to be worked out between me and whoever is interested in working on the project. This is for the benefit of both sides: the artist needs to have a legal agreement to fall back on to make me pay, and I need a legal agreement on what I can do if the artist drops the project. IMPORTANT NOTE: The new artist(s) in any of the art roles will need to agree on the specific work being done, who has the rights to use it where, what happens if they quit or disappear, at least part of the intended payment, and deadlines for sketches/lineart/finished assets before work really begins (aside from maybe a sketch to see if their style fits the project). Monster art is planned to be a static image for each monster, with one or two variants. The monster art is similar to the character portraits in that it must be done in an anime style, but since it might be more detailed/complex I don't expect a character artist to be able to do them and will count them as a separate asset type.

The plan was to have the base character pose relatively static with 'arm poses' to provide the visual variety of having multiple poses, but this may be altered to full alternate poses based on the artist chosen (if it's easier to do than arm poses, more expressive with no extra effort, etc.). Each character has an underwear 'base' portrait upon which the clothing, expressions, and what I call 'addons' (things like a blush, glasses, or a sweat drop) are added. The details of how the character portraits are drawn may need to change based on the artist that is selected, but the current specifications are based around a layered approach to displaying the final image. (As a final note, I have the permission of the previous artist to use the old character designs, so most of the characters already have a set appearance.) The character/CG artist will also need to be comfortable drawing weapons (particularly different types of swords, knives, a naginata, and a kusarigama) and have some confidence in drawing at least stylized plants. There is no 'H-content' (such as graphically depicted sex) planned for either the main game or the fandisc. Note that, as a Girls Love game, the artist will need to be comfortable drawing teenage girls that perform romantic acts (hugging, kissing, etc.) together. I'd strongly prefer to have the same person work on the character portraits and CGs (even if said person did nothing else) and work on both the main game's assets and the fandisc's assets: I want the look for the characters to be as unified as possible.

Parts of the script can be provided for reference for certain scenes, as necessary.Īs can be seen from the promotional image and concept materials (which will be available for the new artist to view), I'm going for an anime-like style for the art direction, but not to the extent of chibi/super-deformed. The full script of the game is complete and has gone through several revisions already, and I've nearly finished the first draft of a standalone expansion/fandisc's script. With the departure of my previous artist for Eldritch Academy, I'm now in need of a new artist to help me finish the game.
