Hi Marvel,
I'm working on a 2D metroidvania (Godot) and I'm looking for a pixel artist to create an original playable heroine, fully exclusive to my game.
WHAT I NEED
- An original character based on my design sheet: a young girl with long lavender-white hair, small curved horns, a thin gold circlet, a black scarf over her mouth, a tattered navy cape with red edges, leather straps and belts, a red loincloth, black stockings and red boots. I'll send the sheet.
- In-game sprite size around 46x55 px.
- Frame-by-frame animation only, no skeletal or cut-out animation.
- About 25 animations: idle, run, jump/fall, landing, 3-hit attack, up attack, down attack (pogo), aerial dash, back dodge, slide, hurt, crouch, ledge hang, etc. That's roughly 300 frames in my current placeholder, but the count can be reduced where it makes sense.
HOW WE COULD WORK
- My current placeholder is a character from an asset pack I bought here on itch.io. It's a very popular pack, and I've already seen the same character in other games. That's exactly why I want something original and exclusive.
- I won't share the pack files. If you want to use its animations as a motion and timing reference, you can buy it yourself (it's about $20) and include its price in your quote. I'll send you the store link plus a gameplay video of my game. The new character must be fully redrawn from my design sheet, not a recolor of the pack sprites.
- If you already have a base or a style of your own that's close to what I need, feel free to propose it. If it fits, it could save us both time.
- I'd like to start with a paid test: the final character design and the idle animation. If it works out, we continue in batches.
- The character and all the animations must be exclusive to my game, with no resale or reuse.
COULD YOU SEND ME:
1. Your portfolio, especially animated character sprites.
2. Your rate (per frame or per animation) and your current availability.
Thanks!
