[PAID] Top-Down GBA-Style Pixel Art Characters for an Upcoming JRPG

Hi folks. I’m looking for a talented pixel artist to create characters for my top-down, GBA-style JRPG. I’m looking for a long-term collaboration on a commission basis.

Requirements

• 3 frames per static character
• 7 frames per moving character (idle + walking animation)
• 4 directions only
• 16x24 px canvas per frame

Excluding hair and accessories, characters should be about 14x20 px. This is slightly larger than the characters in the Pokémon GBA games, for comparison.

Style reference

• Character reference
• Outdoor reference
• Indoor reference

Application

Reach out with a relevant portfolio + estimated fee per character (7-frame and 3-frame versions).

The game is set in Lovecraft’s universe, so familiarity with his work is a plus. You’ll be creating characters such as Lovecraft himself, scientists, cultists, policemen, etc.

Estimated workload

1 paid test if selected + 2 other characters to start. Approximately 10 characters by the end of the year. More next year after the demo.

Thank you!
