Hello and good day to you! My alias is Rojatzo and I would like to apply for the pixel artist position. I see you already have a lot of applications so I'll try to be as brief as possible.

About the requirements:

  • Has strong pixel-art fundamentals
    • I have worked as a full time freelance pixel artist for the past five years. I studied animation in UNITEC (Mexico) and I'm pretty confident in my understanding of pixel art as a whole.
  • Can animate characters smoothly
    • As previously stated, I studied animation. I specialize in 2D frame by frame animation, but I'm also familiar with the 'cut-out' method.  Here are a couple of examples of my previous work:
    •       
  • Maintains consistent proportions between frames
    • One thing I've paid special close attention to is this. Here is an example with a previously made sprite on different states and maintaining same proportions:
    •    
  • Can work within exact sprite dimensions and grids
    • I would have no problem with this. I am accustomed to working on both limited sizes and palettes. Both of these characters are made in the exact same grid.
    •  
  • Can interpret concept art and descriptions
    • Yes, I can do this as well. Here is an example of a provided concept art and the result.
  • Is comfortable receiving detailed feedback
    • No problem on this part.
  • Communicates reliably and daily
    • My discord is always open.
  • Can provide progress updates during active work
    • I can do this as well.
  • Is interested in developing a consistent visual style over time rather than just making isolated assets
    • I would love to five it a shot.

The most important part:

  • Your portfolio
  • Examples of character animation
    •     
  • Your normal rates
    • My rates are $25 USD per hour.
  • Your availability
    • I am currently open for work 24/7
  • Your preferred method of communication
    • Discord is my go-to. You will be able to contact me with my tag Rojatzo
  • Any shipped games or projects you've contributed to

I would be glad to give you a free trial to test if my skillset is what you are looking for. I hope we can get in contact soon. Thank you and I hope we get to work together!

Thank you for the thorough reply. Based on what I've seen, your style doesn't seem like the right match for my project. I am looking for more mature, realistic, gritty, dark art. Not cartoony, quirky, comicy, "gamey", etc. if that makes sense. If you want to do the free test, then by all means, have at it, but I don't want you to waste your time that could be spent doing other things.

I would like to give it a shot if you'll allow me. I could try my best at adapting to that which you are looking for,
