Mecchen Chapter Art Pages - Will Pay Money For It

[Cutey Kerina]

I am getting to the tail end of Mecchen and, as I planned to do all along, I need sketch artwork for a little page in each chapter of the book. The idea is comparable to what is done with seiren novels in Japan. Also, the book, the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn has something similar.

The novel can be found here -

There are story spoilers around, keep in mind that.
The art style is somewhat like this one sketch I found somewhere.

This is absolutely perfect. If you can draw something like this then I will pay you lots of commission moneys to draw art for the book. We'll work out a deal. All told there will be 26 some odd images and maybe the cover-art as well. I'd give you full illustration credit if it ever goes into print. There are some landscape sketches involved as well but mostly a handful of characters standing around in emotive poses or single characters with some props around them.

Here are all the images people have drawn which look like characters in the story.

And finally, here are some ideas I had for images in the chapters. Each was considered with attention to the limitations of a little sketch on a page.

I suck at commitment... T_T

Maybe the money would do something.

Meh. Maybe. I'm getting a tad better, but I still don't know. I'll still try, however.

Here's a few samples I got for Katsumi.

Katsumi is the uber-zappy girl of the lot btw. And here are a couple of images of other character in the narrative. Also courtesy of the same artist (Ai/Aisaku/Vierge previously), who I hope to work with on the mid-chapter sketches.

Nana - Her personality is on display in these images. Her trends toward the length in the sitting image

Then we have an assortment of image. Most of these are just speculative for characters and we'll probably refine the look later on, I gave Ai some feedback, which I hope helped for her *bows to her*

Tara - the smiling face is closest to what I mean for her

Ami - the hair color doesn't match too closely but I liked her idea of her hair reflecting her lack of room organization even if it wasn't something I wrote into the work. It may be something I add to the narrative now though. Inspiring.

Ms. Ishida and some of the boys. Again, she really captured their spirit even if the precise details aren't spot-on. Ms. Ishida's hair more curls like corkscrews in the back. I also enjoyed the looks that Jamie gives.

Montage - we have Mami on the left. I like her feeling and kinda public-speaking pose. Then there's Reiko with the interesting lips on the top. Under her is Sumi with her kitty and then Jamie with harried expressions on the right

Miki with a confident look and Nathan's head on the right.

Characters with the most extreme height differences. Tara and Sumi.
