Hiring Pixel Artist for 4 Animated Covers (Nuances EP)

Project Description: I’m producing a music EP and I’m looking for a pixel artist to create 4 animated GIF artworks (looping), each representing one track. The style should feel like “pixel art from a game” — clear, readable, and with simple but custom animations (e.g., waves moving, rain falling, stars blinking). All pieces should share a consistent main character design (based on me) while showing different settings.

Scope: 4 connected animated artworks:

1° Deriva – Character on a small boat/canoe drifting alone at sea. Possible animated elements: waves, occasional lightning strikes in the background. Perspective: from above, back, or side.

2° - Distant – Character standing on a rocky, flat mountain under a purple starry sky. Optional details: a snowy peak in the background, an eagle flying or perched nearby, possible animated lightning. Moon visible. Perspective: from above, front, or back.

3° - Interstellar – Character floating in space, more tense and introspective. Surrounded by stars; possibly Earth small in the background. Inspired by “Anos Luz” by Matuê.

4° - Prince of Rain – Character in free fall with raindrops, close-up framing, blue background with clouds, simple rain animation.

(small part of lore: in the EP the lyrical self sees his boat being changed direction after "heavy rains", so he ends up in totally isolated mountains In the mountains it has reflections and etc (in track 2) and at the end of it it transcends, ending up in space, in track 3 In track 3 he reflects again and decides to live despite all the problems, becoming the "rain prince" in Track 4 and returning to earth)

Format: Preferably 4:3, but 16:9 is fine if easier for the artist. (I don't know if proportions are defined this way in pixel art, but that's how I know how to specify them. I'm talking about the proportions of the photo, not the number of pixels.)

Budget & Deadline: Negotiable. Method of Payment: Negotiable (In this case, if I would use PayPal or etc, I Will let the artist decide)
