Hi! Your project looks really interesting ,the gothic + alien/sci-fi mix is especially close to the kind of work I enjoy doing.
I'm a pixel artist / art director with around 7 years of experience working on character art, animation, environments, UI, and game-ready assets.

More work / updates: https://x.com/Raysixx_ https://x.com/ThunderNoiseArt
My usual rate is around €22/hour, although I'm also happy to work with fixed prices per asset or milestone.
I'm comfortable starting with the paid Viktor animation test and then estimating larger batches once we've established the sprite size, animation complexity, and visual style.
I'm currently available for ongoing work, and my preferred communication method is Discord: raysixx
Would love to see the current character concepts and the visual direction you already have for the game!
