Project Is On Hold for NowI am reassessing the needs of the project and the strategy for completion, and will update things appropriately once plans are determined.---
Original PostI am looking to work with an artist to create sprite assets for my current project.
https://forums.tigsource.com/index.php?topic=67258.0Project Overview- Power-up Platformer inspired by games like Kid Chameleon and Kirby
- Non-linear stage structure with a sprawling level map
- My DevLog - Please read here for a more in-depth write up of the project, my inspirations, and my thoughts on game design https://forums.tigsource.com/index.php?topic=67258.0
Project Specs- 9-bit RGB palette used by the Sega Genesis
- Screen size of 1.5x the screen size of PAL Mega Drive - (480 x 360)
- 60 fps
Types of AssetsThese are the kinds of assets that I'll be requesting for this project.
For example, a sheet for a given asset may read as follows:Name: Bronze Gear
Description: A gear which will turn with other gears in a large machine
Type: Single Asset
Size: [64x64] or [128x128]
Inspirations: Metropolis Zone, Grandfather Clocks, Wood and Bronze Materials
(Example inspiration pictures would go here)
(Possible poor "programmer art" drawing by me which I'm using as a placeholder)
And for the sake of example, an asset like that can be found in the Metropolis Zone:

[email protected]The information I'm currently interested in is as follows:
- Art Portfolio
- Any prior experience you may have
- Comfort level or experience with 9-bit RGB (Sega Genesis Style) pixel art
- Cost estimates
- How you like to work (Any ways you prefer to communicate, certain descriptions of the asset, etc.)
- Estimate for how long assets like those described above might take you
- Do you foresee being available to do many individual commissions for approximately 1 year?
I will probably contact you with some example Asset Sheets and you can let me know how long the assets might take you and what you expect it to cost.
If I think things are a good fit, I'll likely commission you for a couple of assets to get a sense of your style and strengths.
Although this work is normal paid work, I am also looking for longer-term artists who may be interested in revenue-sharing and a more in-depth partnership for the life of this project.
Feel free to contact me (
[email protected]) if this project is up your alley. I also respond on TigSource but I prefer my email.
I will have a decent amount of work to provide over the next few months as long as things go well as this project is likely going to be going on Kick-Starter or another crowd-funding site.
Thank you.
