Concept Artist

We’re Foxglove Games, an indie game studio making visual novels in a variety of genres.

We’re looking for a 2D concept artist/character designer to help us revamp the designs of 10 characters from an unannounced western-style fantasy visual novel. The artist will help us settle on a fashion style for the setting, while drawing concept art for the game’s main cast. The artist will get references of previous concepts for the characters, but some designs may need to be altered more than others from their original look.

Each character design will require 2 outfits. We require a quick, messier sketch first to confirm the design but the final asset must be a clean, colored sketch.

Although this is only a short-term gig for early pre-production of the game, we are open to working with the same artist on the full game later if the artist is available and interested.

About the Role

• Type: Remote, one-off gig
• Duration: August 2026 - October 2026
• Compensation: $2000 for 10 character designs. We are able to pay via Paypal or bank transfer, as long as your bank accepts international payments from Germany. We require an invoice for each payment.
• Start: August

Requirements

• Must have strong character design skills
• Must have an anime-style or anime-inspired art style (does not need to be similar to our previous games)
• Must be able to complete the 10 character designs by the end of October

Good to have:

• Previous experience working on visual novels or similar projects

The ideal portfolio will have:

• Examples of character design work for visual novels, games, or similar media
