[R>Artist 2D] Paid Hiring background artists for a visual novel!

[Kuro58VN]

Hii, my name is Kuro, and I started this crazy project a few years ago. I’m currently working on two visual novels at the same time, but this will be the first one I officially publish. I’m doing everything on my own. Despite my limited programming knowledge, the project is coming together nicely, and I think it has the potential to really appeal to people. I’m creating an NSFW visual novel set in an alternate world where humans “coexist” with all kinds of beings. From demons, werewolves, merfolk, fairies, orcs, to anthropomorphic animals (yes, furries), and more. I’m keeping the explanation fairly simple to avoid spoilers, but this should give you a general idea of the kind of artists I’m looking for.

Project Info:
Title: Another Dimension
Style: Not fully defined yet. It will largely depend on the artist (though I imagine something anime-inspired)
Theme: Fantasy, Horror, Adult (18+)
Engine: Ren’Py
Planned Release: Today! 2025-12-30 Another Dimension
I make the itchio page but for now there's practically nothing here:

Looking For

Ideally, I’d love to find an artist who can handle everything, but I know that’s rare. Because of that, I’m also open to working with multiple artists for different tasks or even different types of characters.
[I’m looking for someone to mainly create backgrounds, as I’ve already found an artist for the sprites!]



Employment Type

At the moment, I can’t guarantee that the visual novel will generate income, so payment would be per artwork, similar to commission-based work.
If the game ends up doing well financially, we could later discuss revenue sharing, but for now I want to be honest and realistic about the situation.


Work Commitment

This project is still in a fairly early stage, although it’s clearly going to be a long-term journey. I’ll continue releasing updates with or without a “main” artist.
Because of this, I’m looking for someone who’s okay with long gaps between commissions and who doesn’t need fast or constant work, as I won’t be able to offer that.


Preferred Method f Contact

• Discord is preferred, but I’m flexible depending on what works best for artists.
  Discord: kurogames58

Job Description

I’m looking for artists who can help with:

• Background
• Some assistance with UI elements
• Maybe CG's
• I’d love the game to have its own unique visual identity to give it more personality, since I care deeply about this project and want to polish it as much as possible. That said, a more standard anime style would also be perfectly fine.

Additional Comments

• I’m a solo developer, and this will be my first visual novel to be released publicly (another one is in development but will take longer). Things move slowly.
• For now, I’m using AI-generated placeholders, but the final game will be 100% illustrated by real artists. Please note: no AI-generated art.
• While the game mechanics will be relatively simple, the content will be very kinky. The world is filled with many different characters, each with their own kinks. I’m looking for artists who are comfortable with adult content and not afraid of exploring it.
• The only thing that will not be present in my game is sexual content involving minors. Everything else is on the table.

Hello, I'm interested for character sprites, backgrounds and CG's artist position.
While not very experienced I can also provide assistance for UI

. While I do have my own anime style, I can implement other elements like no-lineart, thicker lineart or other types of styliization

NSFW content is not a problem neither commissioning when possible, my prices will also remain the same for 2026 and I can also work off platform (Paypal), tho I do recommend VGen as it allows more payment methods for clients (Commissions can be kept private or released in certain dates, as I manage different social media I can also help with promoting the game if desired)

So even if you feel you’re only good at certain things (backgrounds, creatures, non-human characters, etc.) and not others (like humans), please don’t hesitate to contact me!

Hello,

I'm interested in doing the CG's and character sprite's and open to doing most fetishes. I can also do backgrounds but it's not what I specialize in. My style is very anime inspired if that is what your interested in and obviously I don't use AI anywhere in my artistic process. (Proof can be provided on request)

I've also attached some of my artwork below. You can contact me for more information if you are interested or want to see more examples of my work at:

Thank you so much to everyone who replied here and reached out to me on Discord ❤

For now, the character sprites are already covered until further notice!

I’m currently looking for someone to work exclusively on backgrounds!
