Ok, so I guess this topic isn't random
since it's still concerning the visual novel game, but I've been
“auditioning” artists all weekend and for the last couple days. I
posted an ad in a forum on the deviantart.com website, where lots of
talented artists display their work. I've had an overwhelming
response, despite my requirements (such as I won't work with anyone
outside the U.S. because of payment and legal issues.) There are a
lot of really talented artists that are interested, but I've had to
turn some of them down because either they weren't in the U.S., or
their art just wasn't the right fit for John Fell's character art
that I'm using. I've been taking a sample of their online art and
then have pasted one of John's characters over it to get a good
representation of whether or not it's a good blend. What I'd
originally thought would work well (cel-shaded art) doesn't entirely
fit with John's style, which is a bit of anime blended with realism.
I'm still trying out different artists and am waiting to hear back
from a few I've notified of my interest. It has been hard to select
some artists because they don't have any art of the sort of thing I'm
looking for, but I can still see potential there. Price is also a
factor, as I have a limited budget for this project...though I am
considering Kickstarter. If I did a Kickstarter campaign, do any of
you think you'd be interested enough in the game to support it?
As seven alien races struggle to co-exist in an uneasy alliance, the Inter-Stellar Union sends Union Guard agents on missions to preserve the crucial balance. These specialized operatives must do what regional security cannot, dealing with smugglers, pirates, terrorists, and even greater challenges in order to bring stability to a universe that needs it desperately. Without the Union Guard, the races will not be prepared to face a looming alien threat they can only hope to defeat together.
