Hey everyone,
While I'm hoping to eventually make this into a business at this point I'm basically a hobbyist game developer. If you'd like to check out some of my previous work you can see it on https://disthron.itch.io/ - my itch page
I'm looking for an artist who can work with the old school DOS EGA colour pallet. I want to make a side scrolling beat-em-up, With a medieval fantasy setting.
Characters should be around 64*64 pixels tall. We'll be looking at around 17 -> 20 separate animations for the main character, with between 3 and 8 frames each. There are currently 3 enemy types planned with 5 to 7 animations, depending on the specific enemies.
Below is an example of the graphic style we're going for. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1027437388647125034/1343321267125883083/image.png?ex=67bcd8eb&is=67bb876b&hm=7412b6097505bb5ba96315b35994acffffffa2ee8346ac791343b67ec75b3b6c& - click here to check out images

Hello!
My name is Elvira, I’m a pixel artist and animator. I’ve worked on several released projects, including Centum and Vengeance of Mr. Peppermint. You can see my portfolio here:
http://ellfairy.tilda.ws/ - My Portfolio
I’m comfortable working with restricted palettes (including DOS EGA style) and creating smooth, expressive character animations. Your project sounds fun, and I’d be happy to help bring the characters to life.
Looking forward to hearing from you!

Hey everyone, I thought I'd closed this already. Sorry to disappoint anyone who came along later. Though the artist I hired did kind of fall through. They made quite a nice character design but didn't quite have the animation experience unfortunately.
Here is the character they created. While I'm open to people's style I do really like this design.
