Summary

Game Background Layer Separation (Ongoing) We're a small indie team developing a 2D side-scrolling Metroidvania game. We need an experienced Photoshop artist to separate concept art into individual parallax layers for our game engine. What the job involves Each image needs to be split into 3 layers: Far background (distant skyline/environment) Mid background (buildings/structures at medium distance) Foreground (platforms and close architectural elements) Each layer exported as a clean PNG with transparent background, no fringing or artifacts. This starts as a test We're starting with 3 images to evaluate workflow, quality, and turnaround. Good results lead to ongoing collaboration with many more images. What we need Strong Photoshop masking and layer separation skills Clean, precise cutouts with transparent PNG export Let us know roughly how long it takes you to separate one image No game development knowledge needed, just clean, professional Photoshop work. To apply: Include examples of similar masking or layer separation work.
