Hi, everyone! My name is Esco, and I am an independent developer working on a Fan project that is a remake of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. The project is funded by donations (and my own personal funds) and the page for it can be found here: www.Patreon.com/SOTNHacked

Also, so that everyone can see the type of sprite work expected, here are links to 2 videos about the project containing sprites done by various artists!

1st: an older one with a player character who can change from human, to wolf, to bat, to mist: Alucard Demo

2nd: a more recent one of another character and the combo system implemented: Richter and Combo System Demo

And here is a link to all of the sprites from the original game. This is the targeted sprite style and level of quality: Castlevania: SOTN Sprites

A demo is scheduled to be released in the next 2-3 months.So I am currently seeking to hire another sprite artist to work on sprites for this low res pixel art game ASAP. These sprites will use around 16-32 colors (with 32 being the most) and are an overall small size. At the moment the main ones I am focused on getting done are as follow:

• Remaking/upgrading the Legacy HUD: in the upper left of the image here:



• Remaking/Upgrading a character's sprite sheet: Similar to what was done to this sprite (it now uses 32 colors on its sheet and is more detailed):
  But for the little girl in this sprite sheet: https://www.spriters-resource.com/playstation/cvsotn/sheet/24086/



• Creating petrified sprites for enemies: I will require 2 for each enemy with over 100 enemies. These will be single sprites that will be colored gray in a way that they look like they are turned to stone. I will provide the base sprites for this and it is a fairly simple task.

The potential for long term work DOES exist for anyone interested too. As there are plenty of other paid things I can find to get done. Such as enemy animations, 2d special effects, etc.

PAY:
I pay well in USD via Paypal per sprite or animation.
The pay rate is negotiable and something we can decide on together.
On top of pay, this is also a good way to get more exposure. As a LOT of people are watching this project.

SKILLS NEEDED:
*Must be a pixel artist
*Be willing to interview via a call on Discord (takes 15-30 minutes max): here we can discuss pay, and I can verify your skillset, strengths, etc.
*Have examples of previous sprite work
*Speak fluent English (this is NON-NEGOTIABLE)
*Be willing to jump on Discord for audio only calls (so I can provide feedback and guidance)
*Creativity; as I have found this to be what sets an ok sprite artist apart from an AMAZING one!

ON MY END: I am frequently available to answer questions, give feedback, and provide guidance to you. As I understand that, yes shocking as it may be to some others: artists are NOT psychic! And I firmly believe that as the project director, yes it is MY JOB to ensure your success.

You can contact me here or email me at SOTNHacked@gmail.com (though please reply here or PM first as I only check this email 1-2 times a week)

Hopefully, this post was detailed enough for everyone. Thanks.   

Hi, I am interested too. You can view examples of my work here:

Please send me a message or e-mail me at sushychan(at)gmail.com if you want to work with me.

Heyo, just sent a mail (pumpkpie@hotmail.com) with examples

I'm curious to know if you have found your artist for this project, and if so, who you have decided to go with. :)

Sorry about the wait. I have sent you an invite on discord.
