Hi everyone!

We’re a team of two developers hiring an artist for our humorous superhero visual novel (in Ren'Py). I’ve been a freelance comedy writer for the past five years, and my partner is a producer at a mid-size video game studio. Our project is a few months along now with a playable proof of concept-gameplay build.

We’re looking for an artist to help define our game’s visual style and subsequently create production art (~6 characters + backgrounds, if possible). Ideally, we want to find a great collaborator instead of somebody who wants to take orders. We're ready to give wide creative freedom on this project so we can create a visual novel that looks different than the thousands of currently VNs out in the market.

A little bit about us: We met while interning at Game Informer and have been making games together since. We’ve shipped six games between the two of us, with over 300,000 cumulative views on Newgrounds to date. These include Ridiculous Text Adventures, Sidekicks Never Win, Worthless Dirt Boys, and more. I also created Blood Bath & Beyond, which you can find on itch here: https://neiltylerfloyd.itch.io/blood-bath-beyond

Our reference deck is available below. If you think you might be a good fit, please reach out: neiltylerfloyd@gmail.com.

Octavi Navarro immediately comes to mind for a project like that.  He has worked on Thimbleweed Park, a game created by Ron Gilbert, years after he made the Monkey Island series of games. 

Octavi has quietly been posting his Scenes (or 'pixel art paintings') on Youtube for years now, and for some reason he's been flying under the radar with those masterpieces.  He works in a very recognizable retro style that might fit your project like a glove.

Even though most of his videos are years old, he's still active in the comment sections. Perhaps he's approachable for a project like yours.

Here are just 2 of his many gorgeous scenes. 'Space Explorers' and 'Le Cirque Macabre'

Hey if you are seeking for pixelartist then I can help u in the project.
