That looks like something i might specialize in, I am a freelance illustrator, I have low experiences in animating but that's because i don't do it very often which i'm hoping you'll break my habit by pressuring me as an artist

I can adapt to any style as long as there's references

Looking for a pixel artist again.

Look at the sample image in the original post. Your experience must be at this level and able to work closely to this style.

Hello there!

If you are currently looking for candidates for your game, I am open for some project work at the moment. Your game looks fun and very straight forward, definitely something I would be more than happy to contribute towards. I've always been a fan of top down shooters. :)

I have extensive experience with directing, concept art, character and background design, animation, color theory, and matching any style is no problem for me at all.

You can reach me on Discord (preferred): Kenthecaptain#3206
Or via email: kenstevensart@gmail.com

Hope to hear from you soon, and have a wonderful day!
