Hi, I'm looking to hire a talented pixel artist to create custom tile sets for my game. I'm aiming for a colorful, cartoonish look inspired by the Mario games.
I'd like to work closely with someone to iterate on the look of a level with mockups before creating the tile set. I will have 5 different themed levels in all so I'm looking for a continued working relationship with an artist, as there is potential for a lot of work. I will pay $4 per 16x16 tile that you create for me.
Here is a publicly available Mario-style tile sets that illustrate the style I'm looking for:
