Hi Swiffycat — Hx Works here. For your paid 25px walking test, here is a self-initiated, code-authored overhead pose study:

https://github.com/hxsworrk-lab/character-walk-study/tree/main/topdown-25px

It has three key poses on a 25 × 25 grid, with ten colours and separate recolouring roles. It is not a finished eight-frame walk. No GTA or reference-image pixels were copied.

Would this silhouette suit your direction? If so, which facing direction should the paid test use? Scope, workflow, rights, total fee and timing would be agreed before commissioned work.

Hi Hx_Wroks, thank you for your reply.

In my editor, the sprites are all directed to the right side. 

I really like the preview, but i think we have to get rid of the nose.  How much do you want for a 8 frame walking animation?

Thanks — right-facing and without the nose, understood. For this paid test, I'd scope one 8-frame, 25 × 25 walking cycle for the same character, with transparency and the current ten-colour recolouring setup. Proposed delivery: eight PNG frames plus a 200 × 25 PNG strip, using the code-authored workflow shown in the study.

My reference rate is US$25/hour. Which currency and payment method would you prefer? I'll confirm a fixed total, delivery time, revisions and usage rights before starting.

To answer the total-price part more directly: my non-binding labor estimate is US$50–75 for one right-facing, nose-free eight-frame walking cycle of this character in the preview's simplified style. That covers eight 25 × 25 transparent PNGs, one 200 × 25 PNG strip and one round of minor pixel adjustments.

Once the payment currency and method are clear, we can check transfer fees and agree a fixed total, usage terms and delivery date before starting.

Cool idea doing a test study up front! If you're after more pixel gigs, I founded ComposerScout. It's free, devs post art roles there and you get them emailed to you: https://composerscout.com/#edit

Thank you all so much for your kind replies and for showing interest in my little passion project! It genuinely means a lot to me that you took the time to respond.

I've already found an artist to work with, but I really appreciate everyone's kindness and willingness to help.

I wish you all the best, and who knows, maybe we'll have the chance to work together on something in the future! 😊
