Looking for Harvest Moon Heart Event Art
 

Hello everybody!

I haven't been on Menewsha in a while, I only pop back in every so often. But, I've been active in a Harvest Moon RP on Gaia, and I thought it would be really cool to find someone who could draw Harvest Moon Heart Events.

What I'm basically looking for is someone who could do the following:

- draw at least one full body picture of my person, and be able to manipulate the face, and possibly an arm and hand, to give him different expressions, ranging from happy, to sad, to angry, etc. So I end up with several different versions, but it only takes the artist as much time as it does to draw one full body and some extra revisions.

(If this is too difficult, I can settle for a half-body picture with changing expressions. But I thought, if only the facial expression, and perhaps an arm and hand, will be changed, it wouldn't matter if it was a full-body or a half-body).

- come up with some sort of format for a Heart Event I can use. If you're never played Harvest Moon, usually, half of the character's body shows up above a box of text. I just need the basic set-up completed - I can fill in the text I want and crop the character's picture where I want it myself.

- come up with a background for the basic format. In Harvest Moon, two character sprites usually meet up in a 3D setting, over which the text box and 2D character picture appear. I'm trying to avoid picking out a general photograph to use as the background, and trying to get one that is more personalized. But even I'm kind of stuck on what I can request for, it's kind of hard to explain. Just, let me know if you're interested in this.

(This second and third options are actually optional. I think I can find any graphic designer to make a basic format for me to use and manipulate myself, and I can always just choose a generic background. These two options can be done by a different artist than the one who does the first and each other, but the first has to be done completely by the same artist).

I hope this all makes sense?

Menewsha hosts some of the best artists, and I'm theoretically more well off on Menewsha than on Gaia, so I figured I would have a better chance of getting high quality art here rather than there.

If anybody bites, you can respond here, or via PM, with some samples, and what you would roughly ask for payment. Or, what you usually get as payment for one full-body.

I really hope I can get this, I've been wanting to do this for ages.

Thanks!

P.S. The character I use in the RP is mine, but the character design belongs to Heise at heisejinyao.com. She drew that character for herself, not for me or anyone else that uses it. I just use that picture as a representation of my RP character.

I just wanted to make that clear, in case I post the actual picture in the future on this thread.

Just in case no one wants to read through these paragraphs, here is a summary of what I'm looking for.

The end!

Gah!
I would totally help you out if I could do a computer drawing. Unfortunately, my tablet died a long time ago and I can't draw on a lap top. :( I'm sorry.
