Hi everyone!
I'm an indie developer currently working on an adult visual novel using Ren'Py and Aseprite, and I'm looking to hire a talented pixel artist to help bring the characters to life.
About the project:
The game is a story-driven, semi-sandbox adult visual novel about a young man who moves in with his long-distance girlfriend and her family for the summer.
The story focuses on relationships, temptation, infidelity and player choice, with multiple branching routes and endings.
Gameplay revolves around a day/night cycle, character interactions and decisions that influence how relationships develop.
What I'm looking for:
- An artist experienced in detailed, attractive character-focused pixel art.
- Experience creating interesting and detailed background art
- Someone comfortable creating adult/NSFW artwork featuring adult characters.
- Experience designing character sprites, expressions and outfits.
- A consistent art style suitable for a visual novel.
- Good communication and reliability.
- Original, human-created artwork only. No AI-generated art.
Project details:
- Engine: Ren'Py
- Art style: 2D pixel art
- Initial cast: 7 characters
- Current stage: Early development / character design
- Budget: Approximately £1,000 initially
- Payment: Paid commissions, ideally divided into agreed milestones
I'll be handling the writing, coding and overall game development myself. I'm primarily looking for someone to help establish the game's visual identity and create artwork.
I'm not expecting the entire game's artwork to be completed within the initial budget. I'd like to start with character and a small number of finished backgrounds and assets, with the possibility of further paid work as development progresses.
If you're interested:
Please comment with your portfolio, commission rates, availability and any relevant experience.
I'd particularly love to see examples of character-focused pixel art, including expressive faces and detailed sprites.
Thanks for reading!
