Hey, I saw your post and what you went through. really bad experience for sure.
But if you are still looking for an artist, I think i can fill in. As a beginner, i do not need any upfront payment (although if you wanna share something once the game is published, that will be really appreciated. but NOT mandatory at all)
I may not be an expert level artist, but i learn pretty fast.
I've had some really bad experiences online as well. I collaborated with several devs who just abandoned their project midway and all my time and effort put in that was lost. I just request you to please finish and publish the game. All i want for sure is just the credit on the published game. That is all. Except that, everything else is optional for me.
And even if i am a beginner, i will give it my best effort (if you accept this offer)
TL;DR
Here is all i ask for:
- NO Payment
- Promise to finish and publish the game
- Credit in the game as an artist
If you are okay with that, here is my Discord: glowing_smoke
i haven't made a sharable portfolio yet, but i can make something you say to prove i am not AI in the discord
