[Art][Unpaid] Looking for concept artists

I have two projects in mind that're still in concept stage and I could really use artists to help figure out how these games will look. There isn't a cap on how many are needed nor a demand of skill level, just a willingness to help. Animal artists, character artists, and environment or object artists welcomed and we'll definitely need to work out concepts of the ui.

- The first project I'm planning is a nintendogs like game that'd hopefully bring back the heart and nostalgia of nintendogs and some of the petz games people loved. It's going to be a 3D pet sim game that hopefully has aspects like adventure and exploration, there will be no ads or microtransactions as much as I can help it and it'll genuinely feel as much as I can manage like a nostalgic pet sim.

-The second one is more flexible in artstyle but it's a game based entirely on shinto mythology like cultural aspects and yokai, the game doesn't have a set artstyle nor storyline but the direction is there. I would be open to anyone especially knowledged and interested in shinto mythology and Japanese history and writers as well for this project that could help give it shape.

I can't pay anyone sadly, I can barely afford to live, but I would like to work together with people and hopefully help expand portfolios and bring these games closer to proof of concept.

I don't know anything about Yokai other than what I see in my video games, and I just recently got over a bad phobia of Yokai (I'm scared of them), so count me out on that one. However, that virtual pet game idea is golden! I can help do concept art as well as 3D models with blender and 2D art with inkscape. I'm good at drawing cartoony things. Here is an example of what I can do. Am I in?


Perfect! My discord is 0xenfree if you can add me

Hi why don't you mix up  both of these ideas?  combine them together,  

Taking inspiration from japanese  mythology  related to yōkai. 

Imagine a game where you have to pet ( if you have the guts ) and take care of each supernatural disturbing creature needs, 

just  waiting to be fed with somer kind of sacrefices,  

pushing  yourself beyond moral limits to get food to feed them

As interesting as the concept is it's not my vision for either, the shinto based game was meant to be heavily cultural and teach outsiders about shintoism in a fun way like okami did so I wanna keep it some kinda adventure game, while the other game is meant to be a pet sim for people who genuinely miss nintendogs and other similar games

However if someone else wanted to make a yokai pet sim go for it, not my interest
