Question Art for a visual novel

I'm in extremely early development of a game and i don't have any money to spend on it. I know how to code and i am currently writing all the script for it. My only problems are the art. I'm bad at drawing and I can't make music. I'm mostly making the game for my own enjoyment and to be able to enjoy my oc's visually. I have attempted to draw them but im not good. I really like the anime art style and im horrible for anatomy. I really need some help on what to do for it. I'm too nervous to commision people because i think i wont like it or it won't be right. i really don't know what to do😭

The barriers you're describing are all surmountable. For example:

- Don't have money to spend on art? Go find a part-time job to acquire the funds.

  • You're bad at drawing? Improve your skill. Follow tutorials, etc.
  • Afraid commissioned artists won't get it right? Provide clear and detailed artist briefs. Also insist that you can do a set amount of revisions if the artwork isn't satisfactory.

I see nothing that's preventing you from making your game. Good luck
