I am re-posting this as we are still looking.

We’re a small team based in Ontario, Canada, working on a 2D roguelike deck-builder in Unity.

We’re looking for a freelance artist to create creature sprites for our game, with potential for additional work on card illustrations and scene backgrounds.

We’d like to start with one paid enemy sprite assignment. If it’s a good fit, there’s potential for ongoing work. Please include your rates and preferred currency when applying.

Art direction

We’re looking for stylized fantasy creatures with strong silhouettes, expressive designs, angular shapes, and painterly shading. We like a slightly eerie, whimsical feel, with colour and personality.

Our focus is on non-humanoid creatures: beasts, monsters, and imaginative animal-inspired designs. We are not looking for human or humanoid character artwork for this role. Please include relevant creature examples in your application.

We’re looking for original designs and welcome your creative interpretation of the direction.

Ideal experience

We’d love to work with someone who has experience producing larger collections of assets while maintaining a consistent style and reliable communication. Experience creating game-ready sprites for Unity or preparing layered artwork for animation is a plus.

Experience across creature sprites, card illustrations, and backgrounds would be helpful, but please let us know where your strengths lie.

To apply

Please send a message with:

Your portfolio, highlighting non-humanoid creature designs.

Your rates, preferred currency, and availability.

Examples of larger projects you’ve completed and your role in them.

Any experience with game assets or preparing artwork for animation.

Confirmation that you do not use generative AI in your art process.

Thanks! Looking forward to seeing your work.

I'm looking for a skilled 2D pixel artist to design and draw multiple characters for a visual novel. This role will suit someone that enjoys designing humans, and humanoid monsters with expressive personalities. If you have an interest in character concept work, anime art, and Japanese culture it would also be very beneficial.

It's also incredibly important that you are versatile and able to match the existing art style, as a lot of art assets have already been produced. The role requires being able to use inspiration and a brief to create a concept, not just re-drawing existing illustrations in pixel art. Please see the attached character reference which will give you an idea of what I'm after.

Expectations up front for full transparency: Half-body/bust shot, facing forward Roughly 200x200px working canvas Aseprite layered file Working with inspiration, reference images, and/or a brief to design a concept AI must not be used during the art creation process Delivered in 2 stages, 1) a concept/sketch with revision, 2) a coloured production with revision Payment via PayPal in 2 phases, half upfront and half upon delivery of final asset Full commercial rights to use the artwork Restricted from social posting/sharing artwork while the VN is still in development (this is due to potential spoilers for the narrative)

If you're interested please DM me with: A link to your portfolio. Please lead with relevant work Your availability, and estimated delivery time Your fixed rate per delivered asset When sending a DM, please include as much information in your opening message as possible, along with what I've requested above. And if you've got this far, include 'pizza' in the first message...too many scammers and AI are messaging.

If all goes well and we create a good working relationship, the project may open up to much than just character work. Including, background, environment, small asset, and capsule art, as well as other projects in the future.

Many thanks in advance, and looking forward to working together!

I created this weapon as a personal project, and I am currently looking for opportunities or clients interested in custom weapons, game props, or 3D assets for video games.

Looking for someone experienced with 2D game sprites who can help with:
Turning existing character designs into consistent, usable sprite sheets.
Creating smooth idle, walk, attack, hit, and death animations.
Maintaining character proportions, clothing, weapons, and details across frames.
Exporting transparent PNG sprite sheets with consistent sizing and alignment.
Preparing assets for integration into a game.
Open to workflow recommendations or hiring someone experienced. Please DM me with examples of your work!

Edit - Art Style

Art Style:
Hand-painted, painterly 2D storybook fantasy with anthropomorphic animal characters. Inspired by the illustrated woodland aesthetic of Redwall, Mausritter, and Tails of Iron.
The style features organic linework, soft gouache-like textures, earthy and muted colors, warm natural lighting, subtle shading, and expressive character designs.

A blend of traditional children’s book illustration and medieval fantasy RPG artwork—whimsical and charming, but grounded, detailed, and slightly gritty rather than overly cartoonish.

The goal is consistent, hand-illustrated-looking 2D sprites with fluid animations, designed to remain readable at small scale in a three-quarter-view game. Not traditional pixel art, vector art, or glossy mobile-game graphics.

Hey everyone! I'm Baty, a freelance illustrator currently available for paid work on visual novels, dating sims, and story-driven indie games!

I specialize in stylized, anime-inspired character illustrations with expressive faces, clean linework, and consistent character designs.

If you're developing a visual novel and need characters that can express different emotions throughout your story, I'd love to help!

What I can offer:

• Character sprites and dialogue portraits
• Facial expression variations
• Different character poses
• Outfit variations
• Character illustrations for important story moments
• Character design and reference artwork

I've included examples of my work showing how I maintain consistent character designs across different expressions, poses, and outfits.

I'm available for both individual commissions and larger projects involving multiple characters.

Portfolio & commissions: https://vgen.co/ElBatySinMas

Pricing depends on the complexity, number of expressions, and commercial usage requirements.

Feel free to send me a Reddit DM or contact me through VGen if you're interested!

Thanks for checking out my work!

I'm a designer and artist working with a developer (and now a musician!) on an untitled game. We're aiming to balance a mystical, dreamlike atmosphere with exciting combat and visuals.

While I'm an artist, animation isn't my specialty, so I'm looking for an experienced animator to help refine and polish my placeholder work.

The Ask: I've created hundreds of draft animated assets, with a current focus on finalizing the main player animations. Longer-term, I'd love to hand off concept sketches for you to fully animate and finalize.

Timeline: We'll start with small batches of animations, completing each set before moving on to the next. We're aiming for a December milestone, after which we'll reassess a potential longer-term collaboration spanning several years.

Budget: We'll pay your quoted rate per batch as we go. This is a part-time, project-based arrangement rather than full-time work.

Next Steps: We'd like to use a simple asset as a test project. Unfortunately, we can't pay every candidate, so we'll narrow down applicants over the next week and send out test assets to our shortlisted candidates.

Interested? Please DM me on Reddit and we can go from there!

I've attached a rough mood board with assets and style references to help convey our vision. Looking forward to hearing from you!

UK based musician with a variety of indie games under my belt.

As it’s HALLOWEEN season I thought I’d showcase my interest in writing for horror games. An area I haven’t been able to explore enough yet.

So far have worked on music for 12 games and 4 game trailers. Main instruments used are piano, guitar, synths, bass.

My rates are reasonable, I care about what I do and will always deliver music that is made with the soul of the game in mind.
