Hi there,
I recently saw your post regarding the Gothic romance/mystery visual novel, and I am absolutely thrilled about the project! The fictional, Regency-inspired 19th-century setting combined with a dark, atmospheric tone is exactly the kind of aesthetic I love working with.
To show you my vision for your project and demonstrate my understanding of visual novel production, I have prepared a custom mini-portfolio specifically tailored to your prompt.
You can view all the high-resolution individual assets (Character Base, Expression Sheet, and full Background) in this Google Drive folder:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1WtUoMvbpVTsPsI4rJyHbDbqmYRZy9SHJ?usp=sha...
Here is how my workflow aligns with your needs:
- Character Art: I focus on a stylized, distinctive 2D illustrative feel that bridges the gap between classic book illustrations and modern VN aesthetics. In the linked folder, you will see a base character sprite along with a complete expression sheet and an outfit variation, demonstrating consistency.
- Background Art: I specialize in moody, non-photorealistic, painterly environments. The gothic library background blends watercolor and gouache textures with digital painting. Crucially, I always design with the UI and character sprites in mind, ensuring a clear foreground.
(Note: I utilize an AI-assisted workflow using tools like Midjourney, heavily curating, prompting, and directing the generation process to achieve this specific, consistent artistic vision, ensuring all assets are production-ready and stylistically coherent for your VN).
I am very interested in an ongoing, long-term collaboration. I would love to chat more about your game's story and see if my art style is the perfect fit for your vision.
