Retro Pixel Artist for Classic-Style Adventure Game

"Out of Body" is a story about a man who wakes up one 1993 San Francisco morning without his physical body. To make matters even worse, no one seems to realize or care that he's disappeared. What he goes from here is up to you, akin to classics like Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis, Day of the Tentacle, and Monkey Island II. This story is being lovingly produced by a brother (writer), sister (art director), and friend (developer). We are looking for a capable artist to help us finish many of the characters, game assets, and animations that will be in the game. The art emulates computer games from the early 1990s mentioned above. The best applicants for this role will reference these games/art styles, and either have characters, animations, or backgrounds similar to this style in their portfolio or be willing to do a spec test if you don't yet. Search "out of body game" on steam and socials for published art so far. Our immediate goal is to launch a beautiful trailer we're working on as well as a short demo this summer with characters, animations, and assets that are consistent with our reference games. We expect that these assets will enable us to attract crowdfunding to pay our artists more and accelerate full voice-acted completion of the game on pc/mac/switch. We have a $500 block to start with. A successful hire will unlock subsequent $500 blocks this year into next year and higher rates (we're currently paying about $50 per character or complex animation and hope to be able to increase this rate over time with successful crowdfunding). Thank you for considering working on this project with us! We look forward to reading your application! –Jonathan, Abigail, and Marco (mostly volunteers working during nights and weekends)
