Looking for some 2d art.
I am well in the process of making a 2d browser mmorpg using nodeJS. I would really appreciate if someone could make me an animated player (4 directional movement and idle animation) as well as some basic armour that I can overlay on top of the player sprite (I don't care about the armour looking good at this stage I just want something functional). I am aware this is a lot to ask for and I don't expect anyone to help but what is the harm in trying.
Disclaimer: I don't want to mislead anyone about the state of my game, I do this as a hobby and am not a professional (aka the code isn't the best it could be etc...). The game is pretty close to being 'playable' as all I really have left is the equipment system (hence the request) and then the maths stuff such as calculating damage based of stats and calculating xp required for each level.
If you are interested and/or want more information feel free to message me (this includes if you want to see the current state of the game as I can host in on ngrok and share the link). Thanks for your time, it means a lot.
Sounds a lot like you're looking for the LPC set

--Medicine StormI am actually using two spritesheets from here temporarily (hoping to replace them with something more unique/reusuable) In short looking for a better player model and some armor that is seperate from the player that I can overlay to make an equipment system. Nonetheless thank you for the link.
The armor, clothes, and weapons of the LPC set are already separate, animated, and meant to be overlaid on the player bases.
That being said, I can understand you wanting something exclusive instead. Is this a paid request?
--Medicine StormIt can be a paid request I guess... I am just unsure on how much I should be willing to pay for a request like this. When it comes to art I am very uninformed, I don't even know what size I should go towards (e.g: 16x16, 32x32 etc...) hence why I am sceptical of outright offering money I just was hoping someone would be really kind and do it for free or approach me with a price.
There are many generous artists here that often do work for free, but usually it is because the project interests them. Sometimes an artist will be interested, sometimes not. It's the same reason you are working on your game for free; it's interesting to you. :) I ask about pay because willingness to pay often generates interest where none might be otherwise. The appropriate cost is dependent on a large number of factors, so being unsure about that is expected.
I recommended specifying as much details about what you need as possible:
* Sprite dimensions
* Frames of animation per action
* Number of actions per character
* Number of characters total
* How many different types of equipment (helm, greaves, torso, boots, shield, sword, bow, etc)
* Style of art
All of these will help artists know if they would be interested or not.
--Medicine StormSprite dimensions: Unsure, the character would ideally be ~2 tiles tall and 1 tile wide (the tiles will either be 16x16 or 32x32, leaning towards 16x16 since I want to make the game playable on mobile).
Frames of animation per character: Currently using a spritesheet which has 4 and seems to work pretty well so I guess 4 or more.
Number of actions per character: Idle, north/east/south/west walks
Number of characters: 1
How many types of equipment: Helmet, Platebody, Platelegs, Boots, Shield and Sword
Style of art: The games I am taking inspiration from are osrs and curse of aros, so I guess a similar style to them (more so curse of aros since it was made for mobile).
