Hello!

I'm making a Calvin & Hobbes/Super Mario Bros parody game. I've posted the idea in a Calvin & Hobbes facebook group I just joined and got tons of positive feedback! I'm looking for someone who can do the art so I can focus on the programming side of things.

If you can do both character animations and backgrounds, that would be awesome, but either/or is great too!

I don't have funding for the game yet, but I could pay a bit out of my own pocket to get us started and make a demo, if necessary. I think with the amount of positive feedback we won't have any trouble getting funded.

You can see some of my previous work on itch.io:

Quick blurb about the game:

2D platformer, similar to Super Mario Bros 3 (hence, "Super Calvin Bros"). Starts off with Moe stealing Hobbes, and Calvin has to go searching for him ("Sorry, but your stuffed animal is in a different castle!"), using weapons like water balloons, etc. Once you find Hobbes, he joins you, and the two of you go on other adventures, such as rescuing Susie, or getting revenge on the babysitter. Also hoping to include a 'Calvin Ball' mini-game, which would basically be a sandbox with emergent gameplay.

It doesn't necessarily HAVE to be pixel art, but I figured I'd try here first.
