[Pixel Art][Unpaid] Looking for an entry level artist to work on survival horror game

I'm a programmer working with a writer and composer to create a top-down survival horror game that is story-driven, similar to Resident Evil and Silent Hill, but incorporates slow to fast-paced action and adventure mechanics to create a more well-rounded experience similar to Diablo, Doom and Hotline Miami.

I'm looking for anyone looking to get into pixel art or has entry-level experience looking to improve their skills. If this is you, then I think this would be a good opportunity for you as the art requirements are basic, but you will also be able to create a wide variety of assets that would be suitable for a survival horror game. There will also be an opportunity to create some basic animations (probably 4 frames at most).

There are no real deadlines so you can pace yourself, as long as there is some movement. I work full-time, and the other team members work on other projects as well. The project will probably take a number of months to complete.

I can show you a preview of the gameplay so you can see the art style (created by me) and also get a sense of the vibe and basic gameplay mechanics to help provide inspiration.

This is a passion project for me an I'm invested to get it finished one way or another. I do intend to provide a demo once the game is complete, but monetize the full game. If anything does come of this then you would be compensated for your work financially, and there may be the possibility for more work as I have plans to expand this project into a series.

If you're interested then please let me know. You can also reach out to me on Discord @ kjb0077.

Hello! I am a pixel artist with some experience in creating resources and icons for indie projects. I would be happy to join your team and contribute to the development of a survival horror game.

I am particularly interested in working with both static resources and simple animations, and I believe this project is a great opportunity for development as well as for realizing your concept.

Here are some examples of my work:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/17j9BsNXaV0uDWAeLNMAJN-6BNMDWemPy?usp=dri...

I will gladly adapt to your style and provide regular updates. And, of course, I would like to be credited as the game artist if my work is used.

I have also sent you a request on Discord [nika_ock], please accept it so we can communicate more easily!

I look forward to hearing from you
