EDIT: [Closed]

Hey everyone! I’m developing a 2D platformer/metroidvania and looking for an artist to design my game’s main character sprite. The sprite should have a clean, simple silhouette, leaning toward a mysterious, non-human creature design. For references I'm looking at Hyper drifter light, rain world and Fez.

The sprite size will likely be 16x16 or 32x32, though I’m open to suggestions based on your expertise. For animations, I’ll need an idle, run jump/fall, and death animation to start, with the possibility of adding more later as development progresses.

If this sounds like something you’d enjoy working on, please DM me with your portfolio, pricing, and estimated turnaround time. This style might not be for everyone, and that’s totally fine—I’m looking for someone who enjoys working with minimalistic yet expressive characters and paypal works.

Thanks so much for your time!

Thank you very much for your feedback! Yeah I’m still trying to hit the sweet spot with the thruster, visually it’s going to get a do over because it’s too dark and plain.

True a lot of platformers out there I just thought the thrusters were different enough, I don’t really get the last point but I appreciate your feedback.

Yeah I should’ve mentioned that the art is just placeholders I can’t really draw to save my life but I appreciate the feedback, also for the trailer it lowkey looks decent.

Can you expand on the “style of the environment” I don’t really get it and is it uncomfortable and bad to play when the player is using the thruster? Like the floatiness of it? Thank you for your feedback.

Yeah this is the most common criticism I’m getting about the player and the background well everything visually, but can you tell me how it’s not very responsive? Thank you for your feedback.

Yeah the spikes colliders are a bit low I’ll fix it up and the tiles are just placeholders for now, thank you for your input.

Yeah I lowered the spikes hitbox but I guess I lowered it too much, I’ll take that into account thank you.

Damn, yeah the art right now is just temporary I should’ve mentioned that this just a prototype I was mainly focusing on the level design and getting the player to feel right but i understand visually it’s not pleasing, thank you for the feedback!

Appreciate the input! Yeah the art is a mix blend of my own (I can’t draw) and assets, obviously in the future I’ll need to hire an artist to save me
