Exploratory composition reference — a starting point for scale, layering, character placement, and light/dark presentation. This is not a locked design.
EN: A tactile, paper-cut introduction to Faye: she walks through her own narrated story while the world behind her changes. We are commissioning the screen compositions and Faye source frames now; story-background illustrations wait for the script. The full brief below goes into much more detail.
JP: Fayeが自分の物語を語りながら歩き、背後の世界が変化していく、触感のある切り絵風の導入です。現在依頼するのは画面構図とFayeの静止素材で、物語背景は脚本完成後に進めます。以下の本文でさらに詳しく説明します。
KR: Faye가 자신의 이야기를 들려주며 걷고, 뒤의 세계가 변해 가는 촉각적인 종이 오려내기식 도입부입니다. 지금 의뢰하는 것은 화면 구도와 Faye 정지 소스이며, 이야기 배경 일러스트는 대본 완성 후 진행합니다. 아래 전체 브리프에서 훨씬 더 자세히 설명합니다.
Reference for the composition exercise only. Use it to understand the relationship between a small walking Faye, scenic/story imagery, the tall canvas, and light/dark modes—not as a final design to copy.
For Faye’s source frames, target up to 9 closely aligned frames. Begin with a core set of 6: three neutral/quiet walking states, two more downtrodden/anxious states, and one genuinely bright, gleeful state. After we approve the visual language, use the remaining frames for useful expression or micro-pose alternates.
The body silhouette and step cycle should remain broadly consistent so the sequence does not jitter. Most variation should come from her face, head angle, hair, shoulders, and small paper-like shifts. Expressions should be exaggerated enough to read at phone size and to make the audience feel immediate empathy—“aww,” recognition, tenderness—not generic cuteness.
Think handmade cardstock, paper theater, and papier-mâché rather than a conventional polished animation cel. We want visible edges, subtle imperfect registration, tactile layers, and a charming low-frame rhythm. It should feel intentional, designed, and editorial—not cheap, messy, or childish.
The broader Teak Time visual world is fashion-aware, warm, high-contrast, and generous with white space. Environments can be muted so Faye’s emotion carries the scene. The paper treatment should still preserve her recognizable design and emotional nuance.
Faye is an introvert through and through. She wants space to stay home, play cozy games, drink tea, and do things on her own terms—but that does not mean she wants to be forgotten. She wants to be invited. She wants to belong. Approaching a group or risking a conversation is hard, especially when she is unsure whether anyone shares her interests.
That tension comes from a fear of judgment and rejection, rooted in how she was raised and what she experienced when she was younger. She chose to work in a library partly as a quiet act of courage: it lets her meet people organically, but in a place whose rules and atmosphere feel safe to her.
Her longer dream is to open a tea-centered café and communal space where people can enjoy being around others without surrendering their individuality—a place where someone can belong and still claim space for themselves. For now, she is moving out of school and into her library day job, dealing with ordinary pressure while trying to become the person who could build that place.
The onboarding should make the audience understand this contradiction quickly: “I want my space” and “please don’t leave me out” are both true.

In the spirit of fairness, since every artist values their work differently, please share your typical rate for each active workstream. We will be transparent about what is feasible before work begins.
Payment is 50% up front and 50% on delivery through PayPal or invoice. The agreed fee covers commercial usage in the Teak Time app, on the Teak Time website, and in Capsule 6 marketing, with public artist credit. We do not use generative AI for audience-facing artwork.
We would like to start as soon as practical. Begin with the 4–5 rough screen compositions so we can choose the storytelling system before detailed work begins. After that, develop the Faye frame set through a sketch-first review.
We typically aim to complete an active scope within 30 days, but we can stay flexible once the direction and artist availability are clear. The background-illustration phase has no active deadline because it cannot begin until the script is approved.

If this feels exciting, please tell us which active workstream feels strongest for you, your typical rate for each, and your availability. We are especially interested in a collaborator who can help us think through the composition before polishing it.

構図検討のための参考例です。小さく歩くFaye、物語の背景イメージ、縦長画面、ライト／ダーク表示の関係を理解するためのもので、完成デザインをそのまま模写する意図はありません。
Faye素材は最大9点の近似したフレームを想定します。まず基本6点：静か／ニュートラルな歩行3点、落ち込み／不安2点、心から嬉しそうな1点。見た目の方向性を承認した後、残りは有用な表情や小さなポーズ差分に使います。
体のシルエットと歩行周期は大きく変えず、画面上でぶれないようにしてください。主な変化は顔、頭の角度、髪、肩、紙らしい小さなずれです。表情はスマートフォンで読め、かわいいだけでなく、共感や「守ってあげたい」と感じられる程度に誇張してください。
通常の滑らかなアニメ塗りではなく、手作りの厚紙、紙芝居、張り子をイメージしてください。見える紙の縁、わずかな版ずれ、触れられそうなレイヤー、魅力的な低フレーム感が欲しいです。雑・安価・幼すぎる印象ではなく、意図とデザイン性のある仕上がりにします。
Teak Time全体は、ファッション性、温かさ、高いコントラスト、豊かな余白を大切にします。背景は抑えめにし、Fayeの感情を中心に置けます。紙の表現でも、彼女の特徴と感情の繊細さは維持してください。
Fayeは根っからの内向型です。家で自分のペースで過ごし、居心地のよいゲームを遊び、お茶を飲む時間が必要です。でも、忘れられたいわけではありません。誘ってほしいし、居場所がほしい。共通の趣味があるか分からない相手に近づき、会話を始めることはとても難しいのです。
その緊張は、育った環境や幼い頃の経験に根ざす、評価と拒絶への恐れから来ています。図書館で働くことを選んだのは、小さな勇気でもあります。自然に人と出会いながらも、静かでルールの分かる安全な場所だからです。
いつか彼女は、お茶を中心にしたカフェ兼コミュニティスペースを開きたいと夢見ています。人と一緒にいながら、自分らしく、自分の空間も守れる場所です。今は学校を終え、図書館の仕事へ移り、日常のプレッシャーに向き合いながら、その夢を形にできる人になろうとしています。
「一人の時間がほしい」と「仲間外れにしないでほしい」が同時に本当であることを、オンボーディングで素早く伝えたいです。

作家ごとに作品の価値の捉え方が異なるため、公平性を大切にし、まず各進行対象について通常料金をお聞かせください。開始前に、私たちが対応可能な範囲を透明にお伝えします。
支払いはPayPalまたは請求書で、着手時50%、納品時50%です。合意した料金にはTeak Timeアプリ、公式サイト、Capsule 6のマーケティングでの商用利用が含まれ、作家名を公にクレジットします。観客向けアートに生成AIは使用しません。
可能な範囲で早く開始したいです。まず4〜5点のラフ画面構図から始め、物語の見せ方を選んでから詳細へ進みます。その後、Faye素材をスケッチ優先で確認します。
進行中の範囲は通常30日以内の完了を目指しますが、方向性と作家の空き状況が明確になった後は柔軟に調整できます。背景イラストの段階は脚本承認後まで開始できないため、現時点で締切はありません。

ご興味があれば、現在進行する2つの作業のうち特に合うもの、各通常料金、開始可能時期を教えてください。仕上げの前に構図を一緒に考えられる方を特に探しています。

구도 탐색을 위한 참고 예시입니다. 작게 걷는 Faye, 이야기/풍경 이미지, 세로형 캔버스, 라이트·다크 모드의 관계를 이해하기 위한 것이며 최종 디자인을 그대로 복사하라는 뜻은 아닙니다.
