Hello.

We are creating an adult visual novel and are looking for an 3D artist.

We have finished the script for the first three parts of the game and the first part has already been fully programmed. we just need an artist who can create the images and some animations.

While the game is classified as an adult game it is NOT a porn game. There are sex scenes but they are rare. The game is very much story focused. The game will be fairly short (4 chapters) and after that I have an idea for a couple of small expansions that will expand on some characters.

We have had an artist when we started, but he left us right before he finished creating art for the first part of the game. We need someone who can create ~200 images/month.

The game will be released in parts on Patreon, subscribestar and itch.io. We will share the income from those sources (split three ways). We can discuss this further.

I am also working on a couple of more ideas for after we finish this game so if you like working with us will be happy to continue working together.

Feel free to contact me on discord at: Vollezar#1232 for more info and any questions you may have.

I'm not an artist but this sounds like a full-time job, maybe that's why your old artist left the team?

He was aware what was required. He has done that kind of work before and he did set his own pace. He actually worked faster than that. I don't know why he left, he never responded to our e-mails or DMs, but if he thought that he was working too hard he could have said something. I am fine with a slower pace (~150 images/month.). There is a limit to that though. If we go too slow the updates to the game take too long to release and people start complaining and stop subscribing. We are a new team with no track record to prove that we will complete the game. That is why I am trying my best to write a shorter game with a good story. So we can put a game and prove we can complete a project. First part of the game is about 280-300 images and 2-3 animations. After that the parts will be about 400 images and 2-4 animations. That's a fairly low count. There are games that have much higher number of images with one person doing all of the work on the game and still being able to release updates every 2-3 months. I play one of those games (3 months 800 images and 24 animations and a whole lot of dialogue (interactions between many characters)).

You may be right with the workload but be aware that

1. You are requesting a very high workload
2. Not offering any payment but a maybe existing rev-share, so the artist will do the work for free and maybe get an unknwon amount of money later

This isn't going to attract people much ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@Shaarigan It does attract people. I am not the first to do this kind of offer. In the last week I have heard from three people who are interested.

@Shaarigan Started doing the work myself. In 5 days I produced around 160 images. And yes I do sleep, eat and do other activities so it was not a 24 hour a day sort of thing. And I am a beginner. Only started learning a week ago. This is an example of one of the images I made. Like you said: “I'm not an artist but this sounds like a full-time job, maybe that's why your old artist left the team?”, so perhaps next time don't claim that you suddenly know how much work it does take.

Are you removing and redoing all the images produced by the first artist?
Else, does the revenue share go 4 ways?
