I am a professional game developer located in New Hampshire who is looking for a 2D artist to create cartoon graphics for a shareware title.
This is a work from home position and you do not need to be located in the US. The art will be created under contract.
The game is fairly simple, and will require only very basic animation. For example, if a character picks up an item, they would have one frame in a neutral pose, one frame of them reaching for the item, and one frame with them back in the neutral pose with the item in hand.
Here's a list of what will be needed for art assets:
1. Five backgrounds featuring the interior of a restaraunt. These backgrounds will need to be divided into foreground and background layers.
2. Characters with simple animation as described above. This includes various customers both adults and children, of both genders, and various ethnicities. Each character will need five to ten different frames of animation, each one showing different action or emotional state. There will also be one main character with a similar number of states.
3. Menus, dialog boxes, and fonts.
4. Other miscellaneous elements like special effects, thought bubbles, items, and other such things.
The art must be completed a month and a half from the start date, and art will need to be periodically be submitted as it is completed. Concept sketches will need to be submitted for approval before final art is created for the more complex art peices.
I am offering $200 for this work, 50% payable up front, 50% upon completion, plus a 10% royalty capped at $1000. I may offer more for a particularly skilled artist, but my budget is limited. This would be a good project for someone who is interested in working in the game industry and needs something for their resume.
If interested, email me at scswift@comcast.net. I will need to see examples of your work. Character sketches in particular. Background sketches/paintings would also be good. You may email samples to me at the address above or provide a link to the samples on the web.
You should know how to export images with transparency and/or alpha maps from your art package of choice. Knoweldge of Photoshop is a plus.
