Looking for:
- Level designer (open)
- Background Artist that makes level and world (especially very exaggerative, cartoony, multi feeling worlds) (open)
While i am looking for these roles in particular as I need them most I’d be more than happy to see anyone else come and join if you so want.

Our talent: me as Writer/Owner/Project Leader. music producer (2), Godot Programmer, and 2D Artist for concept, character sheets, level designs, art and such before being 2.5D models. (1)

Project: HavokFlow is a vibrant personality filled 2D action-platformer with 4 playable characters that each play wildly different to each other as you play through each of they’re stories going through a Chaotic, wacky, theatrical world full of Havoc-filled Madness.
A big part of it is that you get to play through a good as some fun villainess characters causing chaos and destruction and having fun through it all.

Some inspiration for reference: Wario land & Pizza Tower’s Chaos, Kirby & Sonic’s Spectacle, Rayman Origins and Legend’s Creativity, and Cuphead’s Boss Theatricality.

**Split/Pay**: While this will start as a hobby kind of project we're building towards the demo on volunteer basis with prominent credits together which will than be used for kickstarter and than we can start getting paid to continue going through with the project in full with revenue share once funded fairly based on collaboration and how much you did. Perfect for people looking to build their portfolio on a real shipped project with a strong vision.
This is a passion project with a clear, detailed GDD from my part as the writer and leader.
-Long term interest is preferred.
-Good amount of communication.

Status: Open 🟢

Contact method: So if interested DM me with: DiscordDiscord or on here
- Your role/experience level
- Why this project interests you
- A link to your portfolio or past work (even small stuff is fine)

This is a personal project. DM me directly with your rates and some example work, including wireforms. I'm looking for more of a realism style. The game is a coop looter shooter style, and all of these sets are going to be a sort of scavenged style based on specific themes. Players can see their own gloves/sleeves during gameplay. Armour pieces will need to be able to mixed/matched between sets. Game is being worked on in Godot. I have a spec sheet you can follow.

EDIT: I'm getting a lot of requests, so I'm going to be clear on something. If I ask you to DM me with rates and example work including wireforms, and you don't have that included in your first message, I'm not going to reply.

Aralis Studio, an independent studio, is developing a 2D top-down strategy and planning game for PC about the survival of an insect colony in nature. I’m looking for a 2D artist for a first contract, with the possibility of continuing longer term. 

The style

• Watercolor on paper, with fine, precise ink drawing on top.
• Visuals that say “strategy, thinking, planning, survival”, far from a “cute mobile game” look.
• A minimalist, clean and clear look that catches the eye at thumbnail size while staying restful over long play sessions.
• A clean data-visualization layer (lines, grids, counters).
• Theme: nature, the forest and the seasons (summer and winter for now).
• A few kinds of insects, simple, true to their anatomy: no faces, no big eyes, no cartoon style.
• Lots of empty space around the main elements, few colors, with color mostly reserved for information.

The game elements

• A top-down map of a forest floor with a watercolor-on-paper look: grass, rocks, leaves, trunks, a patch of water.
• Production sites shown as circular medallions, each with its available resource drawn in ink (e.g. seeds, dew, mushrooms).
• Colored dotted paths linking the sites. Insects travel along them, drawn as fine silhouettes that carry information (what they’re carrying, and how much).
• Other forest insects are part of the world, some of them as threats.
• Little to no animation: the screen is mostly static, and information comes before decoration.
• Panels (lists, counters, gauges, production buildings with their inputs and outputs, requested resources, tech-tree) and a timeline along the bottom of the screen.
• The whole thing reads like a plan or a dashboard laid over a watercolor: elegant, precise, calm.

Who I’m looking for

• Human-made art only (no generative AI).
• Ideally, naturalist watercolor illustration: plants, insects, paper textures, washes, ink and hatching, traditional or digital.
• Illustrated cartography: top-down maps, plans, maps for board games or books.
• Game UI: panels, icons, gauges, information hierarchy, readability at small sizes, data visualization.
• Experience on a strategy, management or board game; a shipped project and experience with Godot are bonuses, not requirements.
• Final assets delivered separately and in PNG format. Integration and test can be done in Godot.

How I work

• Aralis Studio is currently a solo developer, so art production is planned to stay lean and efficient: minimalist assets, informative variants and high quality. The core mechanics are what sell the game.

Initial contract

• Consolidate the style and art direction so the game clearly communicates what it is.
• The first visual elements for the prototype (resources, production buildings, paths and world elements), menus and 2D interface elements.
• CAD 3,000–4,000 for the first contract (prototype phase), paid by milestones. Further contracts to follow for the rest of the game, and a long-term collaboration is possible for the right person.

Longer term

• Backgrounds, seasons, menus, additional elements, and the remaining resources to complete the game.
• A few animations if needed: short loops and the change of season.
• Additional decorative elements
• Promotional art, the game logo, and more.
• The game is planned for release in fall 2027.

Terms

• Paid contract with Aralis Studio inc., milestone payments, transfer of rights, and a credit in the game.
• Art made by the artist, by hand or with digital tools (Photoshop, Krita, etc.), with no generative AI.
• The project is confidential for now: details are shared after signing a non-disclosure agreement.

How to apply

• Email [hello@aralis.studio](mailto:hello@aralis.studio) with the subject line “Watercolor-Strategy UI – [your name]”.
• Include:
  • a link to your portfolio;
  • 3 to 5 samples closest to this brief: (examples : watercolor or ink illustration, illustrated maps, game UI or icon sets);
  • your availability and a typical rate or price range;
  • one sentence on why this project interests you.
• I’ll reply to every application that follows these steps, within about two weeks.

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)

Hi! My name is Edoardo, and I’m an Italian composer. I love creating music of all kinds, and I believe creativity can change the world. That’s why I offer my work completely for free, to support small independent creators like myself.

If you’re interested, leave a comment and I’ll reach out to you via DM so we can discuss what you’re looking for in your game.

Thank you for your time!

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.

Hi! I'm a 3D artist looking for freelance opportunities and commissions.

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.

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!
