Hello everyone! Right now I am looking for an artist for a small horror novel. The entire novel is almost finished, and I just can't find someone to draw the backgrounds :(

The plot of the novel is about a guy who has some mental issues, a problematic family, and another guy in the attic who saves him from all his problems. Perhaps this guy is just a figment of the main character's imagination, or maybe not; only the main character can know for sure.

In general, the work involves creating backgrounds for the novel itself, there are only 7, examples will be below.

I really hope that my project will interest you and that you will want to take part!

You will also be credited in the credits, so your work will not be worthless.

You can contact me through Discord chatelain_2510 or Telegram @I1YKYK.

I will be glad for any reply^^

Hi Penunoli,

Not sure if you're available but we're working on a psychological 2D horror game, would love to chat! My Discord is Renihana

You don't need to work full time and we offer credits, and Revshare if the project makes profit. We will discuss a split of revshare later down the line with all team members, would love to chat!!
