Project Overview:

Aether Legacy is an upcoming mobile MMORPG developed in Godot. We are currently scaling up for our next milestones and are looking for a talented Pixel Artist to create a comprehensive set of modular character assets and equipment.

The Task:

We need a modular system designed for 2D skeletal animation (Bone2D/Skeleton2D). The assets must be sliced and compatible for layering and equipment swapping.

Deliverables:

Modular Characters: Human and Elf races (Both Male and Female versions). Base bodies must be compatible with modular gear.

Modular Armor: 5 distinct armor sets, each with Male and Female variations (total of 10 visual versions).

Weapon Sets (5 tiers/variations each):

5 Axes

5 Swords

5 Grimoires

5 Holy Staves

Technical Requirements:

Style: High-quality 2D Pixel Art.

Modular Design: Assets must be delivered in a way that allows for independent movement of limbs, head, and torso (ready for skeletal rigging).

Mobile Optimization: Textures and sprite sizes must be optimized for mobile performance without losing visual clarity.

Engine: Experience working with Godot-friendly asset structures is a huge plus.

How to Apply:

Please send a link to your portfolio, specifically highlighting any previous work with modular characters or pixel art for RPGs.

We are looking for a consistent art style that can grow with the project. Let us know your rates and estimated timeline for this scope of work.

Deadline: May 20th

Hi! I’ve worked extensively on modular pixel art for RPGs and have experience creating assets that are optimized for mobile performance. I’m confident I can design the character sets, armor and weapons you need ensuring they are ready for skeletal animation. Could you share any specific references or preferences for the art style?

Hi there,

I am perfect for the job, my portfolio and years of solid experience will speak for itself.

I can do all kinds of Pixel Art.

I'm The Chromatic, Dragon Egg Studio's lead 2D/3D artist. A modular pixel system for a mobile MMORPG — gendered human and elf bodies, layered armor sets, four weapon classes across five tiers each — is the exact kind of long-arc art contract I'm built for, and Aether Legacy's scope is one I can carry through to delivery on a single contract.

Modular character art for mobile is right in my wheelhouse. I'm comfortable slicing assets for Bone2D/Skeleton2D rigging, keeping limb/torso/head separations clean for independent skeletal motion, and structuring atlases so they hold up on phone hardware without losing pixel clarity. Godot's import pipeline is straightforward to deliver into. The studio behind Temple Run 2 — a billion-plus mobile downloads — sets the performance-aware bar I work to every day.

You'd be hiring me — not the whole party. I'd be your single point of contact for the entire deliverable: human and elf base bodies, the five armor sets across both genders, all twenty weapons. I see projects through to completion, and I won't be replaced without your knowledge and consent. The studio's resources behind me mean senior backup if a technical question on rigging or atlas optimization comes up — never a competing priority on your timeline.

May 20th is tight but workable for a focused contract. Before I quote, I'd want a quick chat about priority order — which race and which armor sets need to land first if we're staging the work — and target sprite dimensions for your mobile build. Portfolio samples and rate quote ready to share.

Ready to talk scope and timeline whenever you are.

Hello! I really liked the idea of the project and the visual style you're going after! I'm a RPG medial/fantasy enjoyer so it would be a huge pleasure to work with you on that project!

Here is my portfolio: notion.so/Curse-Pixel-Art-358abea07dcf8086a11fe7dd243e819f

Right now I have plenty of free time to dedicate specially for your game and I guarantee we would be progressing steadily. I'm willing to do a few free prototypes so you can analyse if it fit's your vision for the game. I would like to talk more with you about rates so we can negotiate. I usually like to receive per commission.
