Valid! By the way, do u have a pose in mind for the main sheet already or nah?

100

Does the ref sheet need different outfits and expressions, or mainly the character’s standard look? Here's my recent comm, more on website if u wanna peek. bsky.app/profile/vx78...

oh yesss even a lil idea is enough to start with, then the artist can toss around ideas with u and help u pick what’d work best. Yk u don’t gotta have the whole thing planned out lol.

010

It would be a menace 😭got a specific character in mind?

100

Are we talking cute and fluffy, pretty-boy energy, or the kind that causes absolute chaos lmaoo. Also the art dump is in my bio.

Does the model have its own shape quirks or special movements that the rig needs to account for?

000

Well tbh a good artist can do wonders with just a written description, refs aren’t always a must. What kind of details made that other artist’s work stand out to ya most?

000

What’s the game about, and which characters or creatures are gonna be the main focus of the sprites?

I seem to have arrived after the first wave of artists but I’d still like to put my work on your radar. My portfolio is here if you’d care to take a look hazecreates.vercel.app/work

Frame-by-frame animation or key poses with the movement connecting them, which route are you leaning toward for this project?

If still seeking, i gotta know that would you wanna go with more toward those huge, strange landscapes or characters that look like they’ve been surviving in that world for years?

000

That opens up some cool possibilities. would it be fun if the invisible box had little visual cues, like subtle reflections or warped edges, so Mimely’s mime act comes across without needing an actual box?

000

𝐌𝐨𝐜𝐡𝐚 𝐂𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬☕ @mochamelt.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

I ended up reading through your replies to get a better feel for what you need. Also Mimely’s current design has such a distinct mime look. Would you want the new pfp to keep that same clean, almost sticker-like feel, or open to having the bg and framing play into the invisible-box illusion too?

𝐌𝐨𝐜𝐡𝐚 𝐂𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬☕ @mochamelt.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

Most artists can adapt to what a client needs, so finding the right fit can be tricky 😭 do you have a ref pic of pfp you’re after? drop em my way, that’d help narrow things down a lot :3

What’s the character actually doing in the shot? like what kinda moment this illustration is meant to capture?

000

What kinda story you’re putting together, well is it more character-driven or does the world itself take a big role?

Yaa, finding actual folks through all that noise has gotta be exhausting 😭

000

𝐌𝐨𝐜𝐡𝐚 𝐂𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬☕ @mochamelt.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

Since ya want recurring art, do ya prefer each piece having a different scenario while keeping the character designs super consistent?

000

What matters more for the piece: making the machine look mechanically believable, or giving it a really strong silhouette at first glance?

000

𝐌𝐨𝐜𝐡𝐚 𝐂𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬☕ @mochamelt.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

I don’t think I followed ya before lolll but are you after a patch that looks super clean from a distance, or one with tiny lil details that reward getting up close?

000

𝐌𝐨𝐜𝐡𝐚 𝐂𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬☕ @mochamelt.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

I get that 😭 seeing an artist’s actual work first is way safer than going in blind lol. Ryn’s ref sheet would the main focus be the walking-grave look, or are the skeletal details the part you’d want pushed more?

For the short-notice piece, do you already have the character + scene locked down? or description in mind? My page has a few examples of my character work if you wanna get a feel for what I do ♡ hazecreates.vercel.app

Hi Leah! what’s the sticker actually gonna be of? like a lil mascot, a character, or something tied to AFF itself?

000

Is the piece diaper-related btw? your profile definitely gives off strong diaper enjoyer energy hehe.

000

Ehmm what if ya went for a spooky movie-poster kinda scene, with your sona dressed like the main character and some creepy lil background detail hiding behind them?

000

You can peek through my profile too, I’ve got plenty of character work there, also the link in bio hehe. What’s she like though more heroic adventurer energy or an absolute little menace?

000

Waittt fun lil fact, Miku’s actually a Crypton character rather than the name of the software itself hehe. Btw what’s the idea you’ve got for the under-15-sec animation, more like a mini performance or a tiny scene with her?

000

The background arc is actually sooo cute 😭 going from making pieces for everybody else to finally spoiling ur own characters sounds like such a good creative reset >W<

If you wanna browse my mature work, there’s an NSFW section on my site ♡ For the Pantera piece, were you thinking one finished illustration or a lil sequence with multiple moments?

010

Since u mentioned needing quite a bit made from scratch, do u already have designs for the Celtic creatures and enemies too?

100

Well you want actual Sims-ready characters, or 3D models that can be turned into the couple + their pets?

000

Are the sprites gonna stick close to the mythic creatures traditional silhouettes, or are you giving them a fresh game-y redesign?

100

The combo of huge proportions with proper anatomical definition could look sickkk 😭 especially if the muscle groups had subtle shape changes instead of looking like carved-on abs hehe.

000

Every artist leaving their own little stamp on the scale patterns probably makes the Snektember set way more interesting to look back on.

000

I get what you mean! having the artwork already in progress definitely gives the animation side more to work around. I’d love to chat more about it, would DMs work for you?

000

That song gives ya quite a bit to play with.... are you wanting a full-length animation for it, or more like selected parts synced around the track?

210

What kinda motion are ya imagining for Silver, more character-focused or music-driven?

111

LMAOO the ever-changing scale markings would drive me nuts 😭 would you want those shown through a few examples, or is the idea that they’re literally impossible to predict each time?

Okayy that clears that up! so what kinda world are these lil characters gonna be dropped into?

000

Is the artist getting paid for the sprite work, or are you looking for a shared-project kinda arrangement? and what platform’s the game headed for?
