Hey guy,

I'm Alex from Germany (so excuse my bad english in advance) and I need a 'pixelated' main character based on a photography of a guy (yes, this 'guy' is me). I've already tried some pixel work but I'm not satisfied at all - but it may help you to imagine how I see the character.

It's intended for a kind of 'personal action/jump and run game' (go through adventures I had to face in real life in a funny way etc.), is an 2D side scroller, has a 16 bit look, has an overall humorous (almost comic) style and and is going to be available on iOS and Android.

Means, that the character needs to support iPad and Retina resolution.

Also needed for the character:
- Walking animation (just 'right' direction)
- Idle animation (something like 'breathing' maybe)
- Jumping animation (just 'right' direction)

Optional wishes for a perfect game:
- Shooting animation (with a special thing: the 'bananagun' - a banana shooting bullets like a regular gun, concept drawings available)
- Throwing animation (like throwing a grenade)

If you are interested in helping me just send me and email (info AT alextv DOT de) or a private message here at pixel joint and we will discuss compensation/credit for your help!

Hope to hear from you guys soon! I'm very excited!

Best,
Alex
