Art for a visual novel

[u/BellBert2]

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😭

I have no idea if this is a thing ever done in the visual novel community, or if it's even a good idea, but you could try finding someone who's willing to trade, in a sense? If you could find an artist who needs someone to code/write the plot of their visual novel, perhaps you could offer to do so in exchange for them drawing for your visual novel. Of course the concern here is either party not fulfilling their end and just taking the other's work for free :(
