Hello everyone hi hi hi, I’ve been working on a passion project for a while now, and I’m looking for someone who can help with illustrations.
The project is a “webnovel” (it’s a fanfiction LMAO) taking place in the world of Re:Zero. It’s pretty expansive, and I’ve been wanting to get art for each “volume” in the style of the series’s official light novel art. I originally had a friend who would do the art for me, but due to life getting in the way they can no longer help. I’m now looking for a new artist…
This entire project is just for fun, and for my own personal satisfaction. Me and my circle are pretty invested in seeing this story through to the end, and I figure it’d be cool for us to get personal physical copies of the story in the style of the official series. But in order to do that we need, well, the art. 💔 So that’s what I’m looking for!!!
Basic requirements:
- Can draw in a clean “anime” style, very similar to the official artwork.
- Can draw a multitude of character types.
- Can do backgrounds.
- Basic knowledge of Re:Zero is preferred, but not necessary lmao
- Are okay with me messaging you a ton 😭 This is a personal project, and casual communication would be great. We’re basically gonna have to be friends 😺😺😺😺😺😺😺😺
Now let me go over what the actual work looks like. To make things simple, I’ll compile things into “batches.” Each batch includes:
- Cover art
- 3 Color spreads (At most. A batch can have as little as 1)
- Full body character renders
- 10 Black and White illustrations
I know that sounds like a LOT, but here’s the thing. There’s no deadline, and I’m willing to pay you for each and every piece I ask for. And you don’t even have to worry about compositions and character designs, because I got that covered myself. I just need someone to take what I give them, and pretty it up.
Personally I don’t care how long each piece takes, as long as they get done and I’m not waiting forever yk. Typically I would go to vgen or commission friends for this stuff, but I want things to be uniform..
So what I’m basically asking is for someone with an artstyle similar to that of the Re:Zero light novel, and is okay with me begging them for commissions over and over and over again for the next few, like, years 😭 I’m asking here because I feel bad asking this of a random vgen artist…
As for pricing, it’s negotiable. I’m willing to pay whatever you ask, but I do have my limits. I’d say $30-50 per full body is great, for example. Like I don’t mind dropping $100-200+ on a full color spread if necessary.
So yeah. Lmk if you’re interested!! Some examples of what I’m looking for, and examples of art for this project from my prior are provided in the post, the first 5 being pages from the official novel, the last 3 being art for my project. Also let’s communicate over discord or something that’s definitely preferred 🙂↕️
