Greetings!

I’m a game programmer & artist and so far I’ve always done the art for my games.
This time around I will hire a freelancer to do the art for me.
(I figured out I’m more effective and professional as a programmer than as an artist...)

Project specification
Style: retro Japanese style character (e.g. this, this)
Character height: 45px (or <35px if you can do magic with pixels like this guy)
Sprite Size: 64x64 (or any other size you are comfortable with)

Here is a messy sketch of the character you will be making:


Work Amount
1st lot (July 2014): ~5 animations (1~4 frames each)
2nd lot (August 2014): 10~15 animations (1~4 frames each)
3rd lot (no schedule): 20~25 animations (1~4 frames each)

1. Please e-mail/PM me with a link/file to your portfolio. Your portfolio should show that you can:
 [*]Draw & animate human characters.
 [*]BONUS you can make sword action.
2. If we are match, I’ll send you a spreadsheet with detailed explanations and messy sketches of each animation. Then that you can analyze and budget it.

Note: payment via Paypal
