[PAID] Concept artist for abstract racing challenge game

The game

Astral Traveler is a fast paced racing game which is all about completing levels rather than defeating opponents. You control a ship with multiple abilities such as shooting down incoming enemies, jumping between platforms and shifting to boost through some obstacles.

The game is highly difficult and rewarding, with an emphasis on time and leaderboards rather than just stars. It will also be a 5$ game, with emphasis being on a greater challenge and interesting level design rather than a plethora of assets.

You can find out more about the game on its greenlight page at https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=874765108 though be forewarned that the game is evolving at a very rapid pace with new mechanics and polish being added on a nearly daily basis.

Who I'm looking for

I am looking for a concept to help create a more cohesive artistic vision for the game. This includes:

Designing the general look and feel of the game

Location design, including background elements and direction for layout

Player, enemy, obstacle design

Because the deadline is tight, we're looking to launch around the end of May, we are looking for a more elegant presentation rather than being driven by a lot of assets. We’ve set up a mood board with descriptions to give a better feel for what we’re looking for with descriptions, at http://www.gomoodboard.com/boards/ly-AcVYh/share
Relevant examples of your work will be required. Before I hire anyone, I will need to ensure they can do the job.
