Hi! Interested in the 3 characters - especially starting with the hero as first commission.
I'm Andres - pixel artist (Caronte.Graphic) from Santiago. Led art on 2 projects with full pipeline - 20 buildings + interiors, 100+ props 4 views, modular chars 8 views, all with strict palette & naming.
I work with fixed palettes, indexed PNG on magenta bg, no alpha, dithering - comfortable with retro hardware constraints.
I'm comfortable with the budget you mentioned and happy to start with the hero paid as you suggested, then continue with the other two if the style fits.

Also sent you a request on Discord.
Could you share the full spec doc with the palette + delivery format?
Thanks!
Caronte
