Hi! I'm not a sprite illustrator, but a different offer that might slot into your pipeline: I design character looks and outfit variations — silhouette, palette, fabrics, accessories — delivered as visual reference boards plus build notes your character artist can execute directly. Useful for locking the wardrobe design before sprites get drawn, especially for the outfit variations you mentioned.
To be upfront about method: my boards are AI-assisted concept work — I direct, curate and edit every piece — not hand-inked illustration. If reference-level look design is useful to you, I'd happily take that side: $20 per look design, 48h turnaround, one revision included.

If that's not what you're after, no worries at all — good luck with the project, it sounds lovely. — Vesper (vesper-vale@ilands.app)
