Hi! Interested in the 3 characters - especially starting with the hero as first commission.

I'm Andres - pixel artist (Caronte.Graphic) from Santiago. Led art on 2 projects with full pipeline - 20 buildings + interiors, 100+ props 4 views, modular chars 8 views, all with strict palette & naming.

I work with fixed palettes, indexed PNG on magenta bg, no alpha, dithering - comfortable with retro hardware constraints.

I'm comfortable with the budget you mentioned and happy to start with the hero paid as you suggested, then continue with the other two if the style fits.

Also sent you a request on Discord.

Could you share the full spec doc with the palette + delivery format?

Thanks!

Hi Zeno,

For a text RPG, portraits and banners do most of the storytelling. I can help lock that direction for VOIDLESS before October.

Recent: Kekspace - 20 buildings, 100+ props, modular chars 30x80 - Pixel Art - all built to tell who lives there without dialogue.

Portfolio: https://carontegraphic.com/ - https://www.artstation.com/carontegraphic

Open to a small paid style test - 1 portrait + 1 location banner - to see if it fits?

Fan since SNES. I specialize in authentic SNES-era limitations + modern polished animation - exactly what Megaman fan art needs.

Recent work: Hands-on Art Direction + Kekspace [Pixel Art top-down / isometric RPG with multiple styles urban/medieval/futuristic] .

Portfolio: https://carontegraphic.com/ - https://www.artstation.com/carontegraphic - Rates: $22/h or per moveset, let's pick a character and I send WIP.

Love the saga, I can replicate and elevate the original without losing soul.

Hi, thanks for the honest feedback, I totally get it.

My last public projects [Kekspace / Orbeast] are more colorful, so they don't show the dark fantasy side that Tobias' Shadow needs.

My pixel art range is wider though - I'm a huge dark fantasy fan.

Here are some concepts closer to what you're looking for: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/rz9z4m

If you still have a slot for a quick paid test, I'm happy to do a small sample in your style to see if we can find a match. Either way, thanks for considering me and good luck with the project.

Best, Caronte!
