Sprite Artist

Freelance sprite artist for a psychological neo-noir visual novel UNPHOTOGENIC. $300 for the full scope, remote, tight deadline.

Looking for an artist to create character sprites for a neo-noir visual novel (Ren'Py). The psychological thriller UNPHOTOGENIC needs sprites for one of the cases for the demo release. Main heroine reference: girl with straight black hair, dark skin, silver jewelry, calm neutral expression. Character: outwardly soft, self-sacrificing, covers for others' mistakes, keeps small sentimental things. By default looks composed and well-groomed ("it girl" image); in tired/upset emotions this composure should visually crack. Scope: 5 characters + 1 creature. Main heroine: 4 emotions. 4 secondary characters (1 woman, 3 men, adult/young adult): 2 emotions each. 1 creature/monster: one design, no expression variations (~13 illustrations total). Style: semi-realism/realism (not flat anime style) — please send portfolio; I will choose an artist whose style fits these limits.

Portfolio with full-body character examples and several emotions. Ability to meet strict deadline: final files by October 20. Provide current order turnaround time and cost estimate for this scope.

Pay: $300 for the entire volume. Payment method discussed individually — part upfront, rest upon delivery. Commercial use; the art will appear in the released game + potential Steam release. Artist attribution required. Remote work.
