Pixel Joint Forum: [PAID] Retro-Style Faceset

Message

Seasons Greetings,

  I am a lifelong fan
of Pixel Art. I really feel like video games were at their prettiest right
before the introduction of polygon and its never really caught back up. I
joined the forum specifically for this job. I am making a “Dream Game” on RPG
Maker MV and I want it to have a very specific Retro look.  I want it to specifically have the look of
Wonder Boy in Monster World, Bubble Bobble or Rainbow Islands. Bright and vivid colors, chibi-ish style, etc.*

* I don't have a better examples of the style, but this is close enough.
This is a passion project for me but I am willing to pay. I
tried finding some pixel artists on Fiverr and while the artist I have is “good”
from what I’ve seen the colours are far too dull for what I want. So I figured
I would pay him for the first sheet and try hunting around here.

Before I go into Sprite Sheets, I want to start with the
hero Profile Pictures. I want them to all be in that Magic Japanese Chibi
Style. 

I have quite a number of faces I want to commission (prior
to doing actual in game sprites), but for now I will start with the seven
common races:

[PAID] Human Face (Male)

[PAID] Orc (Male)

[PAID] Elf (Male)

[PAID] Gnome (Male)

[PAID] Goblin (Male)

[PAID] Halfling (Male)

There is no immediate deadline, I would rather they look
good than be done fast.

A single face must scale to a single face here. You guys are the pros, so I figure you know what you're doing.

Thank you in Advance!
RetroBoy
