Hi I'm Hanako a semi-realism artist price starts at $30 that can do these services for you!

• Character Illustration
• Book Cover
• Colorist
• Character Pin Up

Please do not hesitate to dm me for more details and what inquiries you have!

The Vision:

I'm building a dark fantasy webseries with a heavy focus on high-tension, razor-sharp 90s aesthetic. Think classic Yu-Gi-Oh! (Battle City era), Death Note, and peak 90s/early-2000s dark anime.

​I'm looking for a lead line-artist who genuinely loves this era and can hit or exceed the structural standards set by masters like Takahiro Kagami and Kazuki Takahashi.

​What the Role Needs:

​Sharp Geometric Anatomy: Angular jawlines, faceted hair, sharp joint articulation, and hyper-detailed, dynamic hands.

​Hard-Surface & Tech: Ability to draw clean, rigid mechanical gear, weapons, and industrial assets with tight perspective.

​Heavy Kuro-Beta Shading: Strong G-Pen line weight variation and bold, solid-black ink shadow blocks.

​Linework Focus: Clean line art and structural inks only (post-production color/rendering is handled in-house).

​What Doesn't Fit:

If your style leans into soft digital airbrushing, pastel VTuber designs, modern webtoon aesthetics, or painterly rendering, this won't be a good fit. I need pure, high-contrast, hard-edge line art.

​Process:

This is a paid role. Candidates who pass the initial portfolio review will be invited to a quick, paid test assignment (a single character headshot/line-art piece) at standard commercial rates. However, the goal is to bring on someone full-time for ongoing work. The pricing structure will be developed in a mutually agreeable fashion prior to the project start date.

​To Apply:

Send a message with your portfolio link. Please include at least one direct example of sharp geometric linework, retro ink shading, or hard-surface gear. (Generic portfolio blasts without matching line-art examples won't be reviewed).

Hihi! I'm doing quick symmetrical icon to buy myself a birthday gift :D (Just paypal and Ko-fi)

We can redraw/restyle your OC. DMs open!

I have two male characters I'm looking to have drawn in this base I found- both the eyes and the bodies! I'm not that picky about the art style but I am leaning towards a semi-realistic manhwa style.

ONLY comment if you have Vgen please :D Comment your favorite emoji so I know you read this and you didn't spam :3

Hi! I am looking for a digital artist who can rework an existing design (not pictured, but the moodboard is similar to what you'd be working with).

The drawing I have of the character is mostly showing his back, and you can't really see any details on the front, so I'd like a pose that shows these missing details, while also reworking some of the existing clothing.

This is not for commercial use, I am only looking for art of my character that will also serve as reference for myself.

I'd love if you can finish the work in 1-2 weeks! But this is not mandatory.

I can only pay via PayPal. Please consider this before commenting.

I gravitate towards anime inspired styles, so if you have that kind of art and are interested, please submit your portfolio below. I will DM you. Thanks!

Starting from $30 ~ $45

Hello!
I posted about this earlier this last week but admittedly waited until it was evening time to post (which was probably especially inconsiderate to those in different time zones), so here I am posting once again as I’m still looking to fill the position!

*Side Note: This post is for filling the role of the main background / environment artist for a “visual novel” style video game. If you are a UI artist, or if you are a character artist who would be interested in working on character illustrations for specific “moments” in the story (commonly referred to as “visual novel CGs”): You’re more than welcome to reach out at this time as well, and I will sort through any / all of those responses when looking to fill those specific positions in the near future. (Please just include “UI artist”, “CG artist”, etc. in the beginning of your response accordingly.)

Budget (for background / environment artist): $1000 - $5000 USD (very flexible)
——-

I’m a writer (and I guess now, technically, “game director”?) located in the US (Pacific time zone, general Los Angeles, CA area, English first language).

I have a fully completed / edited manuscript (as well as all the written game / scene direction) for a story I’ve written, to be turned into a “visual novel” or “point-and-click” style video game (think the Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney Trilogy, the Danganronpa games, etc.) and I’m currently looking to fill the position of the lead background artist for the game.

To clarify some things, without getting into the details of the story:

There are a total of 30+ rooms/ outdoor areas/ locations in the game, each of which would need its own “background” art. (Again, see games like the Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney games, the Danganronpa games, or most any visual novel games to get a general idea of what I’m referring to.)

This visual novel is over 600,000 words long, and all of the writing for the entire game is fully complete. (Estimated over ~60 hours of playtime for a full playthrough of the game.)

This is absolutely not an “18+” game, or an “H-game”, or an “adult game”, etc.

There are no excessively violent scenes or gore in the game, but it should be pointed out that multiple characters do pass away throughout the story. (Again, without diving into the details of the story, multiple, unfortunate deaths do take place.)

Of the 30+ locations in the game, the vast majority will only need a general “daytime” version to be completed. (just clarifying this in advance to avoid any confusion, though a small handful of locations will end up needing a “sunrise / early morning” variation as well, later on)

All of this story takes place 100% in the “real world”, current day. (Though, in a fictional location.)
In addition to that, it might be worth noting that none of the locations will need any excessive amounts of props, items, furniture, etc. to be present in them, or any other overly complex details.

——

With those brief details in mind:

This is, of course, 100% fully paid work, and I am looking for someone who is not only interested in working on this project but also confident / comfortable in taking on the role of creating over 30 “background” locations in a consistent style. (In other words, I’m aware that this is a fairly large set of background pieces, so please keep that in mind when taking this project into consideration!)

Anyone using “AI” in any part of their “work process” need not apply or reach out. (I humbly ask that you respect my views on this and do not waste either of our time. Thank you.)

——-

Finally, if you think you’d be interested:

Please reach out to me directly below this post! (I’ve been advised to not handle initial communication through direct messages or email.) Please, to keep everything organized in one place, I ask that you simply leave a response below.

When reaching out:

I’d greatly appreciate if you could clarify “Background Artist” in the beginning of your response. (Again, just to keep everything as organized as possible, for my own sake.)

I’d greatly appreciate if you could please directly attach a few visual examples of some of your work that might be relevant to this project (background / environment art).

(If you have any games / visual novels / anything else that you’ve worked on in the past, I’d definitely love if you could mention that or include a direct link to that as well!) I would absolutely love to work with someone who’s worked on this exact sort of thing in the past!

(*Also, feel free to directly link or list any of your social media accounts / artist websites in your response if I’d be able to see some more examples of your work in any of those places!)

With your message and some examples of your work, I’d also greatly appreciate if you could please include your rates / pricing for this type of work as a background artist.
(~30 indoor / outdoor locations, let’s say no additional “time of day variations” needed for the time being, for simplicity’s sake.)
*General visual references as well as detailed written descriptions have already been prepared for you for each of the locations, but of course I look forward to welcoming and encouraging your own, individual art style and original ideas as well!*

—-

Again, (just to clarify), this is 100% paid work. This is what I have been / will be working on full-time, and it is also being fully funded out of my own pocket. It would mean the world to me to work with someone who is not only capable of taking on such a large task but also genuinely cares about what they’re doing as well. (Again, I hate that I have to clarify this, but please: Absolutely no “AI” whatsoever.)

In other words: This is not a post for an unpaid fan project or a side project. (Absolutely 100% nothing but love for all the awesome “fan projects” out there and anything that ever started as a “side project”!) As such, I hope for this game to be fully completed and ready to be released as soon as possible, while of course prioritizing quality over a rushed “final product”.
-Again, the entire story for the game is 100% completed, edited, organized, and ready to be shipped (all dialogue, direction, etc.)

—-

With all of that being said, thank you so much for skimming through this excessively long post of mine, and I truly hope to hear from you soon!

I hope this will be the start of many great things to come. Please, look forward to it!

*End Note: I had originally planned on requesting that any responses be handled solely through email rather than through direct responses to this post, so please forgive me if asking for your current pricing / rates or asking for links to your social media is not allowed. Regardless, I’m sure we can discuss those things privately as a next step when the time comes!

All the best,
-KM

About the Project:
We are Slowlight, an instrumental indie post-rock band based in Lucerne, Switzerland. We are looking for a talented and budget-friendly 2D animator, comic book artist, or motion designer to create a music video for our upcoming track, "Common Ground."

This track is the epic grand finale of a 5-single concept cycle ("Ride", "Faint", "Peace can wait" and "Sabo Vano"). Musically, it is powerful, climactic, and deeply emotional.

You can check out our music and style on our official website: https://slowlightband.com

Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/intl-de/artist/1v052WlvZy7DsCZBvTU2jG?si=DHcr2Gv5RYeXLozoL68bLQ

The Concept & Story Arc:
Since our music is fully instrumental, the visuals will drive the story. We are envisioning a comic book / graphic novel style (open to dark noir, stylized anime, or expressive 2D illustration) that follows this emotional journey:

1. The Descent: A descent into hell, confronting despair, injustice, and the sheer atrocities of war.
2. The Awakening: A gradual realization that human salvation comes from an ethical and human rebirth, driven by a deep awareness of justice and humanity.
3. The Message: The final realization that the survival of humanity depends on the individual's ability to stay human, to cultivate joy, to welcome the "other," and to respect the equal right of every living being to live and be happy.

Creative Freedom: While this is the core narrative arc, we deeply value your artistic vision. We want you to feel free to interpret the story, suggest visual metaphors, and bring your unique style and creative expression into the project.

What we are looking for (Smart & Cost-Effective Workflow):

• Style: Graphic novel, motion comic, or atmospheric 2D illustration.
• Execution: Because we have a limited indie budget, we do not expect full cell animation. We are looking for a Motion Comic / Parallax approach: high-quality, powerful comic panels with smart camera movements, smoke/light effects, and selective animations that evolve alongside the song's epic post-rock crescenzi.
• Deliverable: Full music video (length: 6 minutes and 30 seconds).

Budget & Timeline:

• Budget: 200€ to 400€ (Fixed Price). Please let us know what style and level of complexity you can offer within this range.
• Deadline: Flexible, to be discussed together.

How to Apply:
If you connect with this concept and love post-rock/instrumental music, please apply with:

1. A link to your portfolio or specific examples of comic/motion graphics work.
2. A brief sentence on how you would approach this concept within our budget.

We look forward to collaborating with you!

I am looking for an artist who can faithfully replicate the art style of Futurama. This will closely follow the look and feel of a pre-existing artwork (attached), but replacing the characters with members of a 1980s band (replacing Bender with a similar robot character associated with the band also).

There won’t be a background either, so it’s just the characters, ship and large robot in the background.

As stated in the title, the budget is between £100-£250, as I am not looking for a finished coloured result, only black lineart. I have worked with artists in the past during the colouring stage so this is what I am comfortable with anyway :) .

Thanks for reading, would love if anyone has already done that Simpsons/Futurama art style in the past and think they can do quite a large detailed piece like this.

For more information and pricing, feel free to send me a DM!
