Maidens of the Kaleidoscope

So, I've been offering to do Visual Novels with other people here (http://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php?topic=5273.0)
However the biggest problem seems to be with art. Most writers can't draw and we need a lot of drawings to make a VN. The main thing we need are cutins for characters. We also need background, but those are lower priority since there are plenty of images on the internet that could be used for that.
So if you're an artist who's willing to aid this project, you can either team up with one of the writers and work together, or just say your interested and I'll tell you what needs to be done when the time comes.
Currently we need artists and musicians for Tengukami's "Guest of the Moon Princess" story.

For the backgrounds, you can just enlist camera toting forum members to take pictures from a first person view at roughly the same height and angle, and put the pics through a series of filters on photoshop (like this (http://i41.tinypic.com/qrzrli.jpg), only with more photoshop filters, and better weather)
I'd be happy to help with that, considering all the oppurtunities I have to take pictures at local parks and whatnot (they're more common than you think - I just turn them down). However, which members can help with photos would depend on VN setting. I wouldn't be able to help with a gensyoko wilderness setting.
-
I basically live in a forest. I could cover that part.
However, it would also probably help to bring up offers of stories to give artists an idea of what sorts of stories they'd be drawing for. For example, I'm tempted to put together something for this (http://touhou.wikia.com/wiki/Touhou_Love_Stories:_The_Bad_Ends_(fifth_thread)#Ran_.28by_E-Mouse.2C_2008-03-17.29) because the story is apparently quite amusing.

Alright, according to Ammy, he's almost done the script. So now we're going to need artists and musicians. I still have yet to see the script so I don't know exactly what we'll need but mostly it will be cutins, backgrounds, background music, and maybe some event CGs.
Any Volunteers? :V
(I hope I don't end up stealing any staff from Graph's VN project :V)

If only I had the time and skill D:
-
I'm interested in helping, unfortunately my drawing skills is sub-par at most. I'm also into composing music, but I'm stuck with Midi Sequencing. However, as I desire to become a better artist and sequencer, I would like to participate and be able to help as little as I could.

I don't know why I never responded before but anyways I'll see what we need once Ammy is done the script. Some pictures might be difficult though like a bamboo forest or the blacksmith or a japanese styled mansion like Eientei.

Well right now there's none else other than me and Ammy so any help would be great. We aren't exactly going for commercial quality here, however the story is quite expansive in it's cast and locations so we might end up needing quite a large number of drawings and songs.

I'm glad to see a interest in this already. For potential artists, here is Guest of the Moon Princess (http://tengukami.blogspot.com/2010/03/guest-of-moon-princess-cyoa-story.html). The cut-ins required will be of:
Keine
Cirno
Mokou
Some random youkai rabbit
Aya
Sakuya
Meiling
Remilia
Flandre
Patchoulli
Tewi
Reisen
Nitori
Marisa
Kaguya
As far as the backgrounds are considered, you can get all that in the settings described in the story. The more backgrounds the merrier, but as Suikama said, cut-ins are currently top priority.
I'm hoping to have the script polished up over the weekend, but my boss hit me with a pretty hefty assignment yesterday, which is due Monday, so it may be delayed. In any event, any and all help is welcome.

What kind of music do you need? I'm good at slow ones, but I'm learning how to make more upbeat tunes.
-
I don't have the script yet, but I'm thinking that we'll probably need a fair number of low beat atmospheric tunes
-
I'm not altogether good with atmospheric tunes, but I could probably make one in the following weeks, so you can have an evaluation of my ability. :P

Well, I guess I could help out a bit with cut-in art, since I do have experience with digital colouring and drawing. I'm not the best, but I do have some skill. Some of my most recent works are on my deviantArt account (http://patorikkudoiru.deviantart.com/) for coloured and non-coloured, if you need a reference. Just tell me what to do and a suitable deadline, and I'll do what I can to put out what I can work with.
-
I'll be free in a week's time. I'll be able to start filling out requests again, once I clear out my DA request backlog. And I assume you already know how poor my art is XD
