Hello, I am also a beginner in the game design world and have been using Phaser in Javascript to build some games. I also am an artist and am pretty handy with Photoshop and making sprite sheets. I am currently looking for paid gigs but I am also interested in long term possibilities. If you have any paid work currently, like getting some new art in your game, we could start there. But yea, let me know what you think.
Hey, nice to meet you too. So I don't have a general portfolio for sprite creation or anything but I made this game in about a week. Could definitely add more depth and more frames but was mostly working on mechanics: https://javasean.itch.io/survival-game
You can check out some of my websites darkcontraster.com for art but it mostly is my hand cut and digital collage art. javasean.com has a small web portfolio. If there is a particular type of art example you'd like to see though I have many things on my computer I can send to show.
