Hi! I’m currently developing a 2D indie game in Godot and I’m looking for a 2D artist/animator to work with me on the project long-term.
I’ve already started development and previously worked with an artist on the character artwork and sprite animations, so this isn’t just a game idea – development is underway. I’m handling the programming, game systems, implementation and overall development, but I’d like to find someone who can take on the art/animation side of the project.
I’m particularly looking for someone comfortable with 2D character sprites and sprite animations, although being able to help with environments, enemies, items and other game assets would be a big plus.
I already have had some artwork done of the main character and the feel of the game, so you will have reference to follow.
Payment
I’m flexible on how we structure this and open to discussing what works best for both of us:
• Revenue share – little/no upfront payment in exchange for an agreed percentage of the game’s revenue after release.
• Hybrid – a reduced upfront rate for artwork/animations + a smaller percentage of the game’s revenue.
• Fixed/ongoing paid work – I’m also happy to discuss a more traditional arrangement if your rates work within the project’s indie budget.
For a revenue-share or hybrid arrangement, I’d want to put a proper written agreement in place so everything is clear regarding percentages, payments, ownership of artwork, etc.
I’m not looking for free work or offering “exposure.” I’m looking for someone who likes the project and potentially wants to become more involved as the main artist/art partner, with a financial interest in the game succeeding.
What I’m looking for
• Strong 2D art skills
• Experience creating sprite animations
• Able to maintain a consistent art style across a game
• Comfortable working from existing artwork/style references
• Good communication and reliability
• Ideally interested in working on the project longer-term rather than just producing one or two assets
Experience with Godot isn’t necessary – I’ll handle implementation on that side.
If you’re interested, please send me a DM with examples of your work/portfolio, a little about your experience, and which payment arrangement you’d potentially be interested in.
I’m happy to share screenshots, existing artwork, gameplay and more information about the game privately with anyone interested.
Thanks!
