I'm a comp sci major turned filmmaker, now back in game development working on my first big game in my free time.

The game I'm working on is top-down, similar in camera angle to Stardew Valley or old Zelda games.

I've made some artwork for the game a long time ago, but I think I'm going to need help and would like to hire a pixel artist to help me create some preliminary graphics for a prototype of the game. I'm a designer myself, so I really want to find someone who can create some very high quality artwork.

As practice, I just finished a game called King's Pong. You can see some artwork for it here: https://dribbble.com/shots/2958638-King-s-Pong-Menu

I have a couple other abandoned projects over the years too, like Heart Quest: http://heart-quest.com/

In terms of pay, I'm not really sure what pixel artists charge. But for now, I'm only focusing on a prototype, so I would like hire someone for a small amount of artwork. Then, later on, I would potentially hire you for more. So I guess, let me know your rates. I guess I'm expecting to pay somewhere around $2-300 for the current work I'm requesting for the prototype?

The prototype will feature a single character, his bedroom, and maybe a slightly more detailed portrait of the character.

Looking forward to seeing some portfolios!

Sean

EDIT: I think I found someone, but if things don't work out, I will contact one of the many people who messaged me. Thanks!
