Large-scale pixel artist needed for dark fantasy roguelike

Hello, I'm the programmer and designer of a yet unreleased roguelike called Necrowarp.

I'm looking for a talented pixel artist to assist me in rendering scenes and portraits in pixel art. These scenes will be displayed as cutscenes for my game's narrative campaign mode. I will also require a plethora of portraits for the various characters present in the game's campaign. The visual style of these scenes and portraits need to be cohesive. I may also require light animation to give scenes a sense of motion or to simulate speech for portraits.

I am comfortable with compensation up to $40USD per hour, albeit for exceptional work.

Thank you for your time.
