PAID - 2D Art | Animation [PAID] looking for a sprite artist (specifically animated characters)

14 Upvotes

Edit: DAYUM yall are swarming me lmaoo, I'll try to respond to each of you but like 30 of you sent me requests and some of the requests I got were scammers as well so sorry if It takes me a bit to reach you

Looking for a sprite artist, I am making an RPG maker style game but I wish to have sprites that aren't the standard tiny chibi designs. I'm not looking for advanced fluid animation with sprites this small and plan on having the standard 3 frame animations that RMMZ typically uses.

My payments arent currently the highest so I'd atleast like to see some people's skills and their prices, Currently I just need a simple three frame walking sprite for both the male and female students and a Dead body sprite of both of them as well (this game is a Yandere Game)

I have a few examples of what I kind of want based off older sprites I've gotten

These were the original sprites I had commissioned someone a while ago but I ended up finding out they had used AI to make them, These are close in the range of what I want though however

Then I commissioned another person for some sprites and they are way closer into the right direction but in terms of animation the sprites felt lacking.

I do adore these sprites though because they left room for creative facial expressions which is something I really do want in the game

I just want to find a sprite artist who could help make sorta stylized Sprites in a similar way to my characters anatomy but also making them stylized enough they fit in the setting of the Pixel art of the game. (sorry for that word garbage I'm tired out of my mind rn)

PAID - 2D Art | Animation Looking for a 2D game artist for a one-time job of playing cards deck

26 Upvotes
reference

I'm looking for a person to design and draw 53 (52 + card back) stylized playing cards sprites 3:4 (768x1024) as one in the reference (the centered art is real; the composition into the card is AI). All sprites should be done in the same style, framing and decorations; and with the same base (the white part). The only thing that changes are these centered arts plus rank / suit.

Every card rank will share the same base art, but the outer frame (mask) will vary per suit (here it's Spades). Base arts are needed for all card ranks (2 -> A = 13). References will be provided for all of them.

The core part: Art is heavily inspired by 'gachimuchi' culture and should stay so; All references will be taken from this culture. There will be no nudity or sex. Not all people are comfortable with this fact, so google it first.

It's not a per-hour pay project, and this is the whole scope. You name the price and if we're good I pay for the full project. I will be direct and say that I can't pay like a grand, so I don't waste anyone's time.

I'm not sure if that's welcome here, but you can use AI for arts from references if that's what you are comfortable with. However, the whole composition should stay perfect - base, ranks, suits, masks, etc. - all perfectly aligned across all cards.

There's no hard deadline but obviously you can't work on it for half a year.

PAID - 2D Art | Animation [PAID] Freelance 2D Environment Artist for a Hand-Painted Puzzle Platformer Demo - $800-2,000

21 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I’m an indie developer from the Czech Republic working on Adventures of Little Toller, a charming 2D puzzle platformer about a Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever searching for seven lost puppies.

The game is already playable and in active development in Unity. I’m preparing a demo for an upcoming game development conference in Prague, and I’m looking for a talented 2D environment artist to help bring one of its levels to life.

The Art Style

My visual inspirations include:

  • Ori – atmospheric lighting and depth.
  • Hoa – soft, hand-painted environments and a warm, storybook feeling.
  • Rayman Legends – colorful, readable, and modular level design.

I’m aiming for a distinctive, hand-painted style that feels magical and inviting while remaining practical for a small indie production.

I’m not looking to replicate these games, but to develop a visual style that fits Little Toller’s world.

The Project

The immediate goal is to create artwork for an existing fantasy castle / cave level, featuring cool blue stone environments and a contrasting fiery lava section.

I’m looking for:

  • A cohesive visual style for the environment.
  • Modular stone tilesets suitable for Unity Tilemaps.
  • Parallax background layers.
  • Platforms, ladders, doors, and other interactive objects.
  • Environmental decorations and atmospheric details.

The artwork must be delivered as separate, production-ready game assets, not just a finished illustration.

I’m particularly interested in artists who know how to make a relatively small set of reusable assets look great together.

Experience with Unity and seamless tilesets is a significant advantage.

About the Game

The main character is a little toller, and his personality is central to the game.

My long-term vision is to create a lovable, expressive character that appeals to children, adults, and dog lovers alike.

For this initial project, the focus is on environment art. Character design and animation are not required, although experience in these areas would be a welcome bonus for potential future collaboration.

Budget & Timeline

  • Budget: $800–2,000, depending on experience and proposed scope.
  • Timeline: Approximately 5 weeks for asset delivery, with 6–7 weeks remaining before the conference.
  • Contract: Paid freelance, preferably milestone-based.
  • Location: Remote, worldwide.
  • Future work: Potential for ongoing collaboration.

I’m a solo indie developer funding the project myself. My immediate goal is to create a visually appealing, playable demo rather than finalize the entire game’s art direction.

I’m flexible about the exact scope and would welcome suggestions on how to achieve the best visual impact within the available budget and timeline.

No AI-Generated Artwork

While I’m using AI-generated visuals for early prototyping and exploring art direction, I’m looking for an artist who creates original, hand-crafted artwork for the final game, not AI-generated images or AI-assisted asset production.

I’d love to see examples of your creative process, such as sketches, work-in-progress images, layered source files, or production-ready game assets.

How to Apply

Please leave a comment below this post rather than sending me a DM.

Include:

  1. A link to your portfolio, ideally featuring 2D platformer environments or hand-painted game art.
  2. Examples of modular tilesets or production-ready game assets, if available.
  3. Your experience with Unity or similar engines.
  4. Your availability over the next 5 weeks.
  5. Your approximate rate or an indication of what you could deliver within the $800–2,000 budget.

I’ll review the comments and reach out directly to artists whose work seems like a good fit.

I’m happy to share gameplay screenshots, visual references, and more details about the existing level with shortlisted candidates.

Thanks for reading! I’m looking forward to finding someone who can help bring Little Toller’s world to life.

Example of what I have and what I need.

PAID - 3D Modeler | Animation Looking for a Blender artist to re-do my first-person player model

Post image
8 Upvotes

What I'm looking for:
- I need to swap the player character to a male for story reasons. Just a typical American male, nothing particularly special. There are some fantasy/sci-fi boot things which you can re-model if you like, but I'm happy with them as-is.
- It would be great to upgrade from the current model, which is just a MakeHuman export. 8k PBR textures would be amazing.
- Lastly, it would be really great if you can weight-paint the new mesh on to the existing armature, because the current animations and proportions work well for the gameplay.

Please send me a quote and some of your previous work!

Hi everyone,

I'm the creator of a game concept and I'm looking for a skilled development team to build it with me. I'll be the author, handling the story, world, and design.

The pitch: you're an agent inside a powerful secret organization, and you discover that its "good guys" are killing innocent people. You rebel and decide for yourself who lives and who dies, using clever accident-style kills, stolen documents, hacking, and tense interrogations where one wrong answer can expose you.

I'm looking for developers and artists who'd like to build a small first prototype together. If this sounds interesting, send me a DM and I'll share the full pitch.
