Action! Teamwork! Sports!



Hi! My name's Rick and I'm building a 3-on-3 local multiplayer sports mashup called Super Slam Dunk Touchdown. I started a microstudio called Tipping Goat (tippinggoat.com) which I operate from a spare bedroom of my house. My previous artist had conflicting commitments and decided to back out of the project, leaving me one character short of my 6 character roster. I currently have Soccer, Hockey, Football, Roller Derby and Basketball, and I need a Baseball player done in the same art style.



Additionally, I'd like the existing players cleaned up and brought to a higher level of polish. Compare the sprite on the left with the same character sprite on the right:



Polishing the sprites will be a separate paid contract after the baseball player contract is fulfilled.

Sprites are built from the following layers:

  1. Base: all colors are as-is

  2. Color 1: in white with grey for shading, replaced with uniform color 1.

  3. Color 2: in white with grey for shading, replaced with uniform color 2.

  4. Skin tone: In white with grey for shading, replaced with random skin tone.

  5. Color shine 1: in white with grey for shading, replaced with a shiny highlight version of uniform color 1

  6. Color shine 2: in white with grey for shading, replaced with a shiny highlight version of uniform color 2

  7. Solid color outline: base layer done in all white, 1 pixel wider for outlines and solid color shadow trails



I will pay you your hourly rate. I need someone who can commit to the entire creation process of the baseball player which includes design and revisions as needed. I will first need the base layer (rough) in order to ensure the character is animating correctly and request adjustments as needed. Once the baseball player is in good shape, I will want a cleaned up, polished sprite separated into the above mentioned layers. I will need a general log of your hours, frequent updates on your progress for feedback, and an invoice for all payments to be made.

Future work (NPCs, fans, and the like) will be needed as well (if you are interested) after the player sprite projects are completed.
