Hi TIG! We're a small indie studio looking for a talented pixel artist to help work on environment design for our 2D action-platformer!  The ideal candidate would be proficient in pixel environment design, and familiarity with tilesets is a plus, but not absolutely required.  The game itself is an action puzzle platformer, set in an original, steampunk-inspired universe.  We've already completed a good deal of character work, please check out a small sample gallery of our current art style here: http://imgur.com/a/JW904

Who: Pixel Environment Artist

What: Environments and Backgrounds for Steampunk-infused pixel-crafted 2D action-platformer (environment style to fit our current character work).  We have tons of backstory and image references to aid in the design process.

When: Freelance position, to start ASAP and through the next several months. We're flexible on timing, so the job can be off and on, but ideally at least a couple hours a week for the project so things stay on track.

Pay: We're a tiny studio, but this is paid! We're willing to pay hourly or per artwork, so please let us know your rates and payment preferences.
