    I am a professional Storyboard Artist and Illustrator with several years of experience in these fields. Regarding storyboard art, I've got a vast knowledge of the cinematic language and versatile 2D skills that make me realize storyboards for animation and live-action in different styles and levels of detail depending on the work's needs. I've also got some bits of 3D skills that may always come in handy! I've also got some concept art skills that are really useful in storyboarding. Currently, I work mainly with Photoshop and Toon Boom Storyboard Pro. During my work, I like to have a pretty rational and reasoned approach when illustrating everything, whether it is Storyboarding, Concept Art, or Illustration. This helps me to deliver very solid artwork but non only that. In fact, this gives me a lot of versatility in terms of style, which can be adapted from project to project very effectively. Why choosing me: โœ… Customer care: I will give you more than expected to achieve a delighted client. โœ… Professional artist: Every aspect of the work will be discussed together and approved by you, and I will justify in detail any suggestions of mine in close communication. โœ…The keys of my work method are to communicate frequently with the client to ensure we are on the same page and provide clear and detailed ideas from the drafts to the final artwork. This method helps us save time and have a clear picture of the job as we go through it.

How to Hire Top 2D Game Artists

How to hire 2D game artists

2D game artists can create pixel art, character models, stylized menus, and environments for your 2D video games. So how do you hire 2D game artists? What follows are some tips for finding top 2D game artists on Upwork.

How to shortlist 2D game art professionals

As you’re browsing available 2D game art consultants, it can be helpful to develop a shortlist of the professionals you may want to interview. You can screen profiles on criteria such as:

  • Art style. You want a 2D game artist who understands the art style you wish to use for your video game (e.g., comic book, geometric, retro).
  • Project experience. Screen candidate profiles for specific skills and experience (e.g., designing environments for 2D side scrollers).
  • Feedback Check reviews from past clients for glowing testimonials or red flags that can tell you what it’s like to work with a particular 2D game artist.

How to write an effective 2D game art job post

With a clear picture of your ideal 2D game artist in mind, it’s time to write that job post. Although you don’t need a full job description as you would when hiring an employee, aim to provide enough detail for a contractor to know if they’re the right fit for the project.

An effective 2D game art job post should include:

  • Scope of work: From 2D character sprites to stylized in-game menus, list all the deliverables you’ll need.
  • Project length: Your job post should indicate whether this is a smaller or larger project.
  • Background: If you prefer experience with certain game types, technologies, or design tools, mention this here.
  • Budget: Set a budget and note your preference for hourly rates vs. fixed-price contracts.
