Hello, I am Jay, and I am making this post in hopes of finding an artist for an upcoming Project for a VN jam in September.

I am a game developer who's doing a '12 games in 1 year' challenge by doing game jams, and the upcoming Jam will be my 9th.

Details of the jam itself:

I am looking to create a team, so far we already got a writer and programmer (me), a character artist, a sound and music composer and some talented voice actors.
All that's left is a Background artist to make the environment of the game setting. The jam starts at the start of September, and throughout the month, I need the artist to be active and available to work on their tasks for the project.

Summary of my game idea:

It will be a Visual Novel about a guy who appears as an unsettling, creepy monster working at an American gas station on Halloween. While this is a regular job for most, this guy sees it as a chance to prove that he can do more for the station’s store. But opportunity comes with pressure, can he handle to comments and verbal assaults from customers who are unsettled by his appearance?

Other details:
Due to this being part of a Game Jam, the role is Unpaid, but the jam does have a crash prize, if the game ends up winning any awards. I will be happy to split the reward in good percentages (for this role, the artists will have a 20%, if we get a background artist, that 20% will be split in half, so overall you'll get 10%.)
