2D Game UI Illustrator Needed for Visual Novel-Style Interface

This project is a sleep aid application presented in the form of a visual novel style game. The core experience revolves around a gentle, calming character who verbally interacts with the user. The primary function of this character is to say randomized, comforting phrases designed to help the player relax, unwind, and ideally fall asleep. The visual design of the GUI should align with a whimsical, soothing, and dream-like theme to match the overall purpose of the game.

We’re looking for a 2D digital artist who can draw and paint the user interface elements — not a UI/UX designer, web developer, or layout technician. This job is for a digital artist or illustrator who creates custom-drawn 2D buttons, menus, and dialogue boxes for a visual novel style game.

REQUIREMENTS
- Proven experience as a 2D game UI/GUI illustrator
- Portfolio demonstrating hand-drawn 2D interface art (buttons, menus, dialogue windows)
- Proficiency in Clip Studio Paint, Procreate, or comparable digital-painting tools
- Familiarity with visual novel UI conventions and asset requirements
- Strong ability to draw original artwork—NO AI ART
- Able to manage file organization, naming, and layering for engine integration
- Minimum Age 18+ (ID verification REQUIRED)
- Comfort working on adult-themed or mature content projects

RESPONSIBILITIES
Digitally draw 2D art assets:
- Main menu (background, title area, buttons)
- Custom dialogue box (illustrated frame/bubble)
- In-game overlays (nameplates, soft decorative accents)
- Deliver artwork as layered PSD or transparent PNG files, ready for Ren’Py implementation
