[PAID] Hiring lead pixel artist/animator

[caushana]

We are indie game developers looking for a lead artist/animator to create animated playable characters for a 2D game.

Style
Our project follows suit in the visual style of games like Enter the Gungeon (2016) and The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (1991). We are looking for an artist with a strong point of view that will help shape the visual feel of the game, producing both playable pixel sprites, animations, and environments. The scale of playable characters-to-environment in Enter the Gungeon (http://store.steampowered.com/app/311690/) is close to what we are looking for.
 
Longevity & Payment
This is a long-term project with potential permanent salaried employment.

Player Character Sprite
To give us a sense if your style would be a good fit for our game, we are looking to commission a sprite of a mouse knight (sword and shield, no helmet). The short-term scope of this job would be to help build a demo for our game, so applying artists/animators will be animating playable characters, NPC’s, items/objects/armor, monsters, and environments/levels. Below are the kinds of animations we will need if you are selected as a good fit for our team:

Playable avatar animations:
Direct front view / walking forward
Direct back view / walking upward
Side view / walking to the right
Side view / walking to the left
Diagonal down right view / walking
Diagonal down left view / walking
Diagonal up right view / walking
Diagonal up left view / walking
Casting various spells
Changing various equipment
Death
Weapon attacks

Please provide examples of your previous work to be considered. Additional information is available upon request. Payment via PayPal!
