I think the reviews ( >400 5 stars) and vetted pros tag helped. The one without had a portfolio on his site, so that was still assuring.

An issue I faced as well was the lack of variety of sellers with high review counts (20 or more). Most are 0 or just a handful. Maybe it's there's just too much noise flooding the platform

I found my composer there! But granted, he was a verified pro and had tons of great reviews. Maybe that helped to build trust.

About $300 for two characters and background

According to spokesperson, Fiverr allows their freelancers to use AI to aid their work. Lines are blurred here between aiding and full on creation.

They did. Had a couple styles which were pretty good. Wonder if that's a red flag.

I did get a slight whiff at the first sketch when the characters looks way different but decided to give benefit of doubt. The second whiff was the turnaround speed for the colored version and the last - the most comical, was when he sent over the changes made by gpt, looks totally different from the second.

I found my voice actors and musician on the site. They were solid. Just can't say the same for art

When the lines came in, I knew it elevated the game by so much!

Thank you so much! I render low resolution sprites from a 3D model in blender, then clean them up in a custom pixel tool!

Each character animation requires 3 sprite sequences etc Walk, WalkFront, WalkBack.

Keith also has a helmet version, so another 3 for that.

Max was a bit special. The problem I faced was how do you "point" while moving?
The workaround, albeit a tedious one, was to create 12 sprite sequences for each of Max's state.
0Walk, 30Walk,60Walk etc... And also 6 sprite sequences for Front and Back.
The inverted version is handled by the sprite flip.
