[artist][writing] Looking to Illustrate for Farming/Crafting Games

I would love to join your farming simulator project or crafting game project. 

If you're looking for someone to help you with character art for your game, or draw portraits/promotional art for it, I'd love to join. My style is quite a bite cleaner than this normally, but it's the first example I had on hand. Check out my tumblr before everything gets flagged for female-presenting nipples @ghostinas

Feel free to skim holy shit this is long for no reason  


I have been a digital artist for almost 10 years now, and I never thought that I could tell a story the way that games can with my medium. I haven’t tried comics yet, but I really love video games. I have a few ideas for stories, I’m constantly writing these long, slightly unorganized documents about ideas in my head. I love creating skill trees and RPG systems, and pretending I can write code and how I would go about it, based on what little knowledge I have on the subject. 

I want to create some kind of small crafting or farming game, preferrably with a dark tone. I don’t want to join a cutesy farming project, though. Unless there was a pretty impressive art direction involved. 


I am still a novice as far as most assets, and dimensions and scaling is something I’m not familiar with. I have heard a lot of different preferences as far as pixel counts, which bugs me because I prefer trying to do stuff exactly right the first time rather than backtracking and tweaking. I have purchased a few dollars worth of assets for studying purposes. . 

I’d probably be best at Conceptual Art, Promotional Art, Still assets, portraits, or UI design. I can also make icons, especially for crafting trees and such. Pixel art magic icons also sound incredibly fun. 

One day when I’m decent at it, I’ll probably fully just practice on tilesets and other assets to set up here on itch.io in the market. 


Also, I love writing! Skip to contact info if you’re not interested in that for your team. I don’t know if I could collaborate, I’m very selfish with idea generation and I’m not always satisfied by other people’s tweaks to them. However, I can be a helpful consultant for you. I love using my psychology studies to help a plot along  

I’d also love to write an astrology-based game and magic system! I have something of a plot, but it should be condensed, or tweaked, if not used anyways. I also used the characters I created, brought them to a normal, low-fantasy setting for a farming game with an emphasis on creating relationships. Taking your crafts and materials to help your friends rebuild their stores, but they might not be as helpful if they don’t like your moral choices. As far as the astrology game, it just sounds fun to create these magic systems and a cool character creation system  I’d also love a very small project, of creating characters based off of birthdays using a color wheel for the hues of the skin  however, putting in a database of birthdays sounds too difficult to program. It would be cool to find someone who loves astrology, and is very knowledgeable on the subject  I would also think it could be a cool collaboration of three people, and recruit an astrology hobbyist for the project, too  


My artworks can be found @ghostinas on tumblr, Instagram, or twitter. Add me on discord @sweetghost#1332, I am much more active on discord than itch.io, especially because I don’t know if this will even get any traffic. 

EDIT: It gets traffic but no one makes comments :( Present your ideas below first before just adding me on discord!

any farming game fans out there? c:

I wouldn't call myself a fan when it comes to farming games, but I wouldn't mind programming one. If it was your own game, what kind of art would you provide other than just illustrating for the game?

Would you be interested on working on UI design and icons for a project? We're a two man team. We have the working code for an isometric, steampunk horror RPG with art design for characters and lore for the game world.
