Looking to Recruit Manga Artists for a New Series (Inspired by Naruto/JJK)

Hey everyone,

I’m working on a manga project and I’m looking for talented artists who’d be interested in collaborating. I already have the core story, characters, and world planned out — the vibe is heavily inspired by battle shonen like Naruto and Jujutsu Kaisen, with a mix of action, powers, and character-driven storytelling.

Right now, I’m mainly looking for:

- Manga artists (paneling, character design, action scenes)

- People who are passionate about building something long-term

About the project:

- Original story with a structured plot already written

- Power system, factions, and character arcs are planned

- Open to creative input and collaboration — I don’t want this to feel one-sided

Important:

This isn’t a paid project (at least for now), but the goal is to build something high-quality that we can grow together and potentially monetize in the future.

If you’re interested, drop a comment or DM me with:

- Some of your artwork

- Your experience (if any)

- Why you’d want to join

Let’s build something crazy together.

Hi,

I am making a game and I am in need of a 2d artist to create a realistic spritesheet for my already rigged 2d sideprofile character (think Hidden Deep and Barotrauma).

The style is a realistic futuristic scifi cosmic horror.

Since my game is 2d skeletal rigged, I would need individual bodyparts rigged to a certain placement inside a provided spritesheet (the rigging is already done inside the game, I just need a flat PNG (also PSD)).

If successful, further collaboration might be possible further along.

Let me know if you are interested. I am weary of random messages so I might request a trackrecord such as a Fiverr profile or something comparable.

Regards, Arnar B

**ABOUT THE STUDIO**

OtterGameStudio is a solo-founded indie studio currently in the government funding phase — company registration is underway. Two titles in active development, a working prototype, full roadmap, and onboarding docs ready for every role. Built by one developer so far, and we're looking for the right people to grow with from the ground up. This isn't a "we have an idea" post.

**THE GAMES**

👻 **Haunt** — Bullet-heaven (think Vampire Survivors) built in **Godot**. Currently on Steam Early Access. Core gameplay is complete — we need art to replace placeholder assets. Art bible, color palette, frame specs and folder structure all ready to hand over.

🏰 **Burgstead** — 3D medieval city builder built in **Unity 6**. We have a working prototype with full ECS architecture — citizens with needs and work schedules, a living economy, 4 seasons, and 11 building types already in-game. The foundation is solid and we're pushing it further. Full roadmap, technical docs, and art guidelines shared with anyone who joins the team.

S.W.A.T. and Zombies Season 2 is a game, that have no active community, wiki, or active players. It can't be called an active game for serious. It was left by, and didn't get any updates. Last update was on 10.30.2025, which was a Bugfix update. This game is pretty forgotten, and for real, I don't think anyone will show up. I need a team of some experienced people with some works on different wiki. Preferably communicating through Reddit, and know Russian (does not really matters). Contact me on Reddit, or reply to this post

We are a new, but experienced indie team (programmer/ game designer/write) who just finished the demo for our cozy game and plan to finish the full game in about 1 year (www.scarletobeetle.eu)

We have a clear USP and business strategy. We only post this because our current artist cannot continue with us for personal reasons.

We are looking for a 2D illustrator and a social media manager to round up our fun team.

We are all doing this as our second job / bootstrapping, because contract are good for survival, but the best way forward is to build something for yourself.

Hello!

I am a Classical Composer, I mainly write for acoustic instruments for the stage, but have had the interest in collaborating on projects. While my rates would be different if it was a commissioned work for the stage, I would be willing to compose for any lingering projects. I will be quite honest, if it is music for film, games, etc. any other visual media I have not worked in those fields yet but would be willing to collaborate. I am not entirely sure of rates since what I would charge for a new original commissioned work for a classical piece is $40 per finished minute I am not entirely sure yet how I will translate that over.

Overall, here is a link to my SoundCloud, and you can hear whether or not my style(s) are a best fit for you.

TLDR: I hope to work with anyone on future projects

Hey all,

A bit about me: I'm a business school student who's heading into investment banking this summer and for full-time 2027. I intend to use my banking wage & bonuses to fund early production of a game.

What I bring to the table:

• Early funding (around $150k through the next year, staggered. Around $75k available immediately summer, which is when I foresee things will start).
• Investors and VC networks through my banking role, very good knowledge around tax incentives, grants, and talking the 'VC speak'. Already have contacts with publishers and a VC. We just need to get the pitch deck and all that.
• Mentor programmer who did RDR & GTA IV who can come along as consultant to help guide process
• Writing skills ~ written a dozen screenplays and two novels. Numerous screenplays have ranked top 15% in Oscar's screenwriting contest -- not great but at least not too shabby. The story is somewhat done, the scripts for demo + trailer are done~~.

The goal: a third person dark fantasy RPG

We are not building a game. We will be building the pitch package for a game (UE5). The goal is to stretch every dollar as far as it gets. This means we do not build out any character or concept outside of that which is required for demo / vertical slice and any eventual gifs. What this means:

• We are done in a year~~ and then it's either funding through my connections / publisher or the project is over.
• The ideal target for me is to have two who join for equity share and then I'll hire as we need people down the line using my own funds. I might agree to some equity and some salary...all depending).

Example how I see it:

• Demo / VS needs around 3 custom characters. The rest are metahumans with custom attires, hair, facial features. As I have spoken with concept artists etc, I understand one character may take 40 hours to design (with strong art direction). This leads to a total cost of around $1000 per character (if not part of start-up team). Combine that with environmental art, plus key character arts outside of demo but required for pitch, I'm looking at anything between $10-20k. I believe exceptionally strong art direction & concept art will trickle down and serve as a superbly important basis, hence a lot of $$ going here.
• Using top rates at Fiverr to base salary estimates (not hiring from there), one custom character may cost $2000 per; that means $6000 for three custom characters. Assets for the metahumans characters can be marketplace for the pitch or customized, but will be relatively cheap. Lastly, custom environment work will simply be a modular dungeon~ type style, can be a mix of custom and marketplace assets (unsure full cost).
• Animation will be done with mocap (I'll purchase suit) but will also need to hire for contract animator to do certain creatures etc...and one who is good at mocap cleanup. Suit will be around $3000 + contract basis for creature anim + mocap cleanup + hired mocap professionals for combat capture etc.
• Biggest unknowns: gameplay programmer #hours to get this demo ready & general refining work.

What I've learned from my networking:

• Publishers have told me for third person RPGs the most important is having a strong sense of art direction in the pitch package. Combat is important but this is not a soulslike so the refinement there needn't be 100%.
• Programming mentor told me for the purposes of vertical slice / demo, the programming needn't be perfect. It is completely ok to have a bungled mess of spaghetti so long as the output looks good. When you're 'creating the concept package' it is less about modular programming and more about just creating a facade that looks pretty.

I am still networking and reaching out to people interested in game dev & industry professionals to learn from their side. I hope this post proves out that I'm not only serious about this, but actively learning and trying to position myself as a value-add despite not being a programmer or artist.

If you got all the way down here, thanks for taking the time!
