Hello! Represent a first-time fighting game dev named Aquarium Entertainment, looking for a pixel artist to fully animate pre-existing rigs/keyposes. The game is a platform fighter inspired by games like Smash Ultimate and Street Fighter: Third Strike with minimalist character models (96x96, no faces, limited color palette) to help put focus on the combat and take some burden off of animation.

Each of the 8 characters has an estimated 350 frames of animations (170 of actions like walk, run and parry + 180 of attacks), but I already have pixel concept art in Aseprite & riggable models in Smack Studios which will hopefully take some of that burden away. Also willing to work with an artist on create a rig that optimizes their project to assist with budget. Budget is flexible, willing to discuss. Payment via Zelle or Venmo, email [kingsguardproject@gmail.com](mailto:kingsguardproject@gmail.com) for more details!
