So: Developing a game with a small team of writers, coders, using GamePro Studio. 

The game is an Eastern RPG/ JRPG in mechanics, but will be set in a modern city, where the player takes control of a rock band manager who has to get a band together to reclaim his former glory. The story will lean heavily on music references, dark and absurdist humor and Biblical/monomyth themes.

The story is written and the music is almost all in place. What we're looking for will be:

• 2d, pixel art character models for main characters. I myself have created, animated several background npcs, but none are up to our standards for the main characters (it should be said that while we appreicate great art in and out of the video game world, we are not exactly Michaelangelos. Truth be told, we're not even Michaels.)
• The style would be realistic but with cartoonish or even anime exaggerations. The characters would fit obvious tropes, ie. Punk Rocker, Metal Head, Hipster with beard and cartoon glasses, Gothic Lead Singer. The goal will be to have each character model, 7 in entirety, with at least one exaggerated feature, such as eyes with bright blue eye make up that can blind as a special move, or beard that is sentient and can attack for its wielder.
• Exact descriptions of each character will be provided upon requeset. Not looking for anything super detailed, but an art style that has a flourish or is creative as opposed to being the next digital Monet.

Right now this is a small project, a mid-sized RPG in the vein of Chrono Trigger, but with the art style of Scott Pilgrim vs The World, only with more humor and lots of real-life musical references.  Currently looking for artists looking to build a portfolio. We can definitely discuss payment upon request (we all have to eat, after all). Please keep in mind, however, we are a very small team looking to get our first game off the ground.  Details can be provided upon request. Please contact for more info, and any and ALL help is super appreciated!   theprodigalsun@gmail.com. THANKS AGAIN!!!
