Anime Visual Novel Character Sprites

I’m expanding my current visual-novel project and need a fresh set of character sprites that can drop straight into Ren’Py without extra cleanup. The look must stay fully in line with the anime style already established in the game; I’ll share plenty of reference sheets, colour swatches, and the full cast list once we start.

Here’s what I’m after right now: one base body per character wearing a single, well-designed casual outfit, plus five clearly distinct facial expressions (neutral, happy, sad, angry, surprised — or a similar mix we agree on). Proportions and line weight should stay exactly consistent with the samples I provide. Please keep every change—eyes, mouth, brows, accessories—on its own layer so I can toggle expressions and mouth-flaps inside Ren’Py with minimal scripting.

Deliverables
• Layered PSD or Clip Studio file: torso, arms, head, hair, outfit pieces, and all facial features separated and named logically
• Transparent PNG exports for each finished expression, ready to be called from Ren’Py image tags
• Colour palette file (ASE or GPL) to ensure future consistency

Acceptance criteria
– Lines are crisp at 4K resolution and scale cleanly down to 1080p
– Palette matches provided reference within ±2 ΔE
– No stray pixels, merged layers, or background artefacts

If this first batch goes smoothly I’ll commission additional outfits and side characters, so a tidy, reusable workflow is essential. Let’s bring these sprites to life!
