Designing realistic environments from scratch

Rosetta is a small town nestled in the mountains, caught between the modern world and antiquity. Its natural places remain largely untouched, even when civilization brushes up against them.

We wanted an environment that depicted the place where the city of Rosetta met the forests of Rosetta. It was natural that this would be a transition environment, a place the characters pass when moving from one area to another. For this we chose a simple road on the mountain’s edge.

“Simple” is one of those famous last words.

Background art from photographs

Mystery Parfait is a small team and we’re always looking for ways to shorten our development time. Before a final sketch is made, art pieces go through an initial design process. Because it’s easier to change things at this stage, our goal is to get most of the edits out of the way before continuing on to sketch, line art, and color.

For complicated backgrounds, this process can turn into a real nightmare. Perspective is hard and half the team tends to be picky. For this and other reasons, we decided to get photo references for backgrounds and modify them as needed.

Recruiting: Artist Assistant

Mystery Parfait is currently searching for a new member to add to our team. We are looking for dedicated individuals to work with our other two artists to create resources for our visual novel project, Flight of Twilight.

The applicant’s duties include creating final inked line art and base coloring on images, working together with the other artists. Other tasks include, but aren’t limited to creating concept sketches, scene layouts, and designs.

Requirements

  • Experience creating anime-style CG art
  • Able to create crisp production-quality line art (digital inking is preferred)
  • Able to draw in a variety of styles or match an existing style
  • Must be 18 years or older

Plusses

  • Good communication skills

  • Solid internet connection
  • Experience working on collaborations

Applicants must work closely with other artists, so regular, reliable communication is essential. All of our members are responsible for providing their own tools, though we’ll help everyone get set up as much as possible.

As Mystery Parfait deals with mature subject matters at times, all applicants must be at least eighteen (18) years old. This is not a paid position, but we need dedicated individuals who are willing to spend roughly 10 hours per week on the project, so please, only serious candidates apply.

To apply, send an email to contact@mysteryparfait.com. Please include an introduction as well as links to examples of your work.
