Project background:This is for a game called
Eternal Exodus.
Another artist is already on the project and doing an amazing job, but there's so much art to do, so we've discussed having someone else come onboard to do the bulk of the NPC sprites.
Work description- 50 NPCs in total
- The majority of these can be small variations of each other. I was thinking it would make sense to draw
15 unique characters, and then the rest can be variations of each other: changing the color of hair/clothing, and perhaps some instances of mixing-and-matching (take hair from one NPC and the body/clothes of another, that sort of thing)
- I don't have any picky descriptions of what the NPCs should look like or what they should wear; I'm just looking for a generic mix of men and women to put mainly as villagers in the game. Typical RPG stuff. Clothing could be Victorian, or modern, or whatever-- it's its own sort of world, so there aren't any hard rules there.
Technical requirements:- The game has a specific style in place, so I need someone who can match the style. You can see some screenshots on the
Steam page, and here's an example of one of the characters:

- Please adhere to the game's existing palette. I don't have a palette image to send, unfortunately, but I can send you screenshots or existing sprites/tilesets to grab colors from.
Legal info and payment info:Before starting the work, I'll ask you to sign a contract made via
DoContract to assign copyright of the work (once paid) to my company. You'll receive a credit in the game and are free to show your work in your portfolio. To be clear, I'm looking to pay someone upfront for their work here: no revenue-sharing or royalties.
I can pay via your preferred method out of PayPal, Venmo, or Cash App. I respect your time, so you can rest assured that I'll pay promptly upon delivery of each batch of sprites: always within 24 hours, but usually even sooner.
Please post...- A link to your portfolio
- Your availability. It's okay if you can't start immediately, though. Just looking to have it done by sometime in February or March.
- A price quote. To reiterate, the work would be about 15 new characters and then 2-3 minor variations of each (recolorings, mainly), totaling 50 spritesheets.
