Artist needed for MSR!
« on: January 07, 2011, 07:42:05 PM »
As many are aware, Mysterious Song has been on the verge of completion for a waaay overdue time now and the only thing holding us back at this point are the cut scenes. Black_Tiger has completed the vast bulk of the cinematic art needed for MSR but there are still three screens needed to finish off the project for good. What we need is a sketcher that is talented enough to recreate a style consistent with Black_Tiger's work so we can implement it and finally get this game out the door!

This position would require NO animation, only digitized sketches depicting outlines of two of the main characters and a portrait of random humans scattered about. Familiarity of the 9-bit color palette is not necessary, we could handle the coloring part ourselves if needed. If anyone is interested in fulfilling this much needed task, or knows anyone that can, please reply to this thread and we will contact you with further information.

Here are some samples of Black_Tiger's excellent work as a reference.







Lets all see to it that MSR makes it to the fanbase hands this year!

Adding PCE console specific layer on top of that, makes for an interesting challenge (no, not a reference to Ys II).

Shouldn't have showed the example of the girl with nice jugs, people will be too busy beating off to draw for you.

But!  I am hoping to play this game in the near future, so best of luck on your search.

Is her top glued on? How else does it stay on? I can't be the only one wondering this.

In the fashion of RPGs, the only logical explanation is magic!

I'm officially volunteering, since all it needs are digitized sketches (which I'm plenty capable of handling).  Here are some of the things I could contribute to the project:

* I would turn the lady up above into a burly man.  It's stereotypical for the love interest to be female, so this could be an opportunity to buck the RPG norm.
* I'd give the evil knight some form of throat-guard.
* Vampire fangs for everyone! (dripping blood could be turned on/off from the options menu)

Believe me brother, I've tried suggesting those ideas to the team before. They turned it down just like this adjustment I made over a year ago:
