Hello! I am papaya. I've worked on titles like soundless - A MODERN SALEM IN REMOTE AREA -, Who Is The Red Queen?, Three Lilies and Their Ghost Stories, and Lachesis v Atropos. I am offering my services primarily as a character and CG illustrator, but I am also making an experimental foray into background work. I also offer personal commissions, but this post isn't for that.

I am seeking paid positions for visual novel projects (or game/hybrid projects, if you're in need of sprites/CGs/static backgrounds). I am available for smaller projects prior to April and am available for more work after August. For my background work in particular, I can only do work for projects with a maximum of 3 backgrounds at this time.

Quick rundown of my price estimates (final prices are negotiated):

• Around $80~$110 USD for a half-body sprite (per pose)
• Around $155~$185 USD for a full-body sprite (per pose)
• Around $220~$360 USD for an event CG
• Around $70~$90 USD for a cut-in graphic (can be further variable depending on the size of the cut-in "panel"; please note that "panels" intended to combine into a full event CG that covers the screen will be priced like one)
• Around $350~$500 USD for a background primarily featuring structures (such as cities, building interior/exteriors, etc)
• Around $250~$400 USD for a background primarily featuring nature (such as forests, plains, mountains)

Payment is upfront. If you are interested, please view this document for more details.
