[ARTISTS AND MORE NEEDED] Neo Danganronpa: Despair Uprising
Project Overview
WARNING
This fangame will contain extreme violence, drug use, sexual references and innuendos, possibly triggering suicide themes, horror, coarse language, and some violence will probably be worse than canon. Proceed at your own discretion, As an artist, you will need to draw these scenes. Obviously I'm human myself, so nothing is too graphic, but executions might be. Danganronpa games should not be played by those who are too young to cope with this sort of thing, and the same applies for this. I recommend that artists are above 15+ years of age, though this is not a necessity.
Description
You may have heard of this fangame before, I closed a casting call a bit over a month ago for voice actors. It was also featured on Amino, and has an instagram account called neodanganronpa . It has been making steady progress since June 2018. As of now, we have finished all of the writing from prologue to epilogue, edited it, and have other various bits and pieces done. we have designs for every character and an initial sprite, a voice actor for every main character, and a few soundtracks that have not been released yet. Neo Danganronpa takes place in a modern replacement version of Hope's Peak called 'Destiny Reach'. This takes place in the same universe the canon games were in, and is set after the destruction of Hope's Peak and 'the tragedy'. However, as this is a fangame, this will not be commercial and we have no affiliation with Spike Chunsoft, the original creators of the Danganronpa Franchise.
Artists
Art is a very important part of any visual novel. We have a team of sprite artists already, but we still need artists that can do CG'S, executions, backgrounds, and splash art. I need this fangame finished, so you will be expected to meet realistic deadlines and be active in our discord server. when auditioning below, please give a link to some of your work so I get an idea of quality.
Extra Notes
Discord is our only form of communication, so it is essential. If you have any questions, you can message me. My discord user is Stella is not a goat#1212 . Good luck to all!

CG Artists
On the document, I can give an estimate of roughly 75 short CG scenes written. There could be more if I have miscalculated, but take this as an example of what's expected of you. As CG's are much more detailed and difficult than sprites, you will be given longer deadlines. This will probably not be a paid job, however if nobody signs up I may offer a small payment. However, as we have had previous issues with commitment, I will not be paying you at the start, you will be paid a small amount of that sum after each CG is completed. I'm not just going to randomly give away a hundred dollars to someone that doesn't meet their deadlines and slacks off.

Background Artists
Background art is very difficult and very important. Some fangames reuse official backgrounds, but we can't exactly do that as we have a different setting. If I had to guess off the top of my head, there would be around 100 or so backgrounds to do. As background artists are very rare to find, especially that can master the DR style, I am offering a payment. If you're willing to work for free, even better, but something tells me that it will be difficult. I will pay a small and even percentage of the payment each time you do a background, and we can settle on a price together. I am an unemployed student, so I don't have a lot of money, but I do have a couple of sponsors. I will not be able to pay several hundreds of dollars. Background artists will be selected on the highest quality possible at the fairest price offer. Yes, you will get to come up with your own price, but you will not be accepted onto the team if it is unrealistic. Without backgrounds, programming the game is difficult, which is why deadlines will need to be met on time so we can make steady progress with game production.

Execution Art
Danganronpa is famous for its classic and original executions. Every execution has been written, and now we just need art for it. being able to animate is not a necessity as I can do that myself, I just need enough pictures drawn to make an execution that doesn't exceed a length of 1 minute and 30 seconds. You will be drawing dead bodies and blood, along with machinery and violence, so make sure before starting that none of that triggers you. There will be 6 normal executions, along with 3 mini executions that are only a few seconds long. Please, meeting deadlines for this is also important. This will not be a paid job, so bare that in mind.

Splash Art/Murders
Splash art involves an art style that is quite sketchy, with some very detailed shading and lighting. 18 splash art drawings will need to be drawn, along with 4-7 murder art drawings (Keeping it vague to avoid spoilers). I will need the splash art done as soon as possible, as it is needed for advertising.
Also, if you think you can't do both, you can try out for just one.

We currently have one sole programmer on this project, which is not enough. It is unfair for them to have to work on all this by themself, so I'm looking to see if there are others that are interested. It is currently looking like this will be created using RenPy, though that may change. You will need to be able to follow instructions and work in a group environment.
