Hi! I’m Sándalo from Thunder Noise, a small indie friendly game art studio from Spain.
We’d be very interested in In Tobias’ Shadow. The gothic setting mixed with alien and sci fi elements sounds especially interesting to us, and we have experience working with detailed pixel art, characters, animation, environments and game ready assets.
You can see our work here:

Our website is still in development, so we can also show you more relevant work privately.
Our usual rate for indie collaborations is around €20 to €22 per hour, although we’re also comfortable working with fixed prices per character, animation or milestone.
The paid Viktor test sounds like a good way to start. Once we see the intended sprite size and references, we can give you a fixed price for it.
We’re comfortable with regular communication and progress updates, and we’d definitely be interested in a longer collaboration if the first test works well.

Would love to see the character references and learn more about the visual direction you have in mind.
