Hello, we are now looking for a background artist for my kinetic/sound novel that I previously described here: https://itch.io/jam/once-upon-a-time-vn-jam/topic/3183563/looking-for-composer-for-kinetic-novel
I copied the summary below so you can see it directly:
“Bloody Tale” is a comedy drama that mixes classic fairy tale with action fantasy.
“A princess has been locked in a dungeon to be granted protection from an evil dragon, and no knight has been coming to the rescue for seven years. When a fairy offers to grant her a wish, she asks for a weapon and escapes to go home – and kill the dragon.”
Backgrounds will be seen once on new scene introduction, then mostly behind the NVL text box, so they don’t need to be very detailed. I aim for simple sketches with plain colors, focusing less on realistic details and more on the atmosphere of the different places, such as:
- castle inside (bedroom, corridor, stairs) - ancient and new one
- castle outside (courtyard, drawbridge) - ancient and new one
- abandoned city
- active city
- forest
- burnt forest
- cave
These are the key locations but we don’t need to have one background per scenery, we can pick a few ones and cut the others depending on the budget (I usually had 2 backgrounds made for a one-month jam, so that would make 4 for the 2 remaining months).
As fallback, it will be possible to complete missing backgrounds with generic abstract backgrounds or even process photographs with free license.
This is a small moodboard the character artist prepared for the different types of environment:
- left column for sketch and line style - don’t mind the details
- right column for colors and mood. Also a bit of shape, as I’m good with slightly cartoony design, esp. from the top-right picture
