Hi, I'm Quinn K.

I've been a pixel artist since 2009, a freelance translator since 2011 and a writer since 2012.

I used to go by RecDra on the starmen.net forums, under which name I translated the french indie game OFF, which would later go on to inspire Undertale.

I am able to translate freely between three languages: English, French and German; among them, German is my mother tongue.

As for spritework, well, see for yourself:

PIXEL CHARACTER PORTRAITS/FULL-BODY IMAGES

ILLUSTRATIONS FOR CUTSCENES:

TILESET WORK FOR RPGs:

POINT AND CLICK CHARACTER SPRITES AND ANIMATIONS:

My rates range from 8€ to 15€ per hour spent, depending on the task and your budget. Coming from a background of fangame work, I do not work for free.

You can also find me on Twitter, if you're interested.

Hello !

I made a few translation mods of a game officially released only in Japan. I'd like to translate it as many languages as possible. However, the only languages that I know are French and English.

Can you help me translate a game into German ? If so, is there any other languages than these 3 mentionned that you can translate ?

P.S. If you want to make the German translation for free, I'll maybe think of needing you to make one or multiple pixel art(s) in order to make you pay. Just saying.

Hello.

I fear you underestimate the workload involved in a translation effort. OFF, a game that is at most 5 hours long, took half a year to translate - and that translation, I did out of personal interest. I cannot justify committing to a workload like this for free.

Furthermore, if the game was only released in Japan, then somebody who is able to translate between Japanese and German would be better suited to the project. Translations of translations are bound to be inaccurate.
