(Depreciated) PIXEL ARTIST available for work
I'm looking for work as a pixel artist and can offer the available skills at a negotiable price we can discuss in a private chat or over email.
Available services and skills:
- Tilesets*
- Animated Tilesets
- Sprites* (objects or characters)
- Animated Sprites
- Still Scenes*
- Low Color (color limitations via provided palette or ruleset)
- Low Pixel 4 - 8 pixel square tiles and sprites
Some annotation to break down what I define as pixel art. This also helps keep objects at a reasonable size so we're not spending ages on assets development. These are not set in stone but they are prefered guidelines to keep in mind when requesting art.
- *defining tileset as a world building block no less than 4 pixels squared and no greater than 32 pixels squared. This does not limit combo tiles that are used to make up large key objects.
- *defining a sprite as something as low as 1 pixel squared and no greater than an area of 700 pixels squared.
- *defining still scenes as something that uses no more than 512 colors.
Questions About NSFW Art Requests:
Things that are ok to ask for that are NSFW:
- Nudity
- Blood
- Gore
Things that will not be accepted from a request:
- Pornography
- Drugs or Drug Use

Payment:
Please Email me if you have any further questions about payment plans and methods!
- Conventional:
- Payment is done per tile/sprite and scaled based on size and detail levels
- Still images are calculated just on size and detail level
- Unconventional:
- Can't pay now? or cant afford it still? Consider a Montly Payment Plan!
- Subscribing to my Patreon for as low as $1 a month(before patreon calculated fees) will also be acceptable! (depending on pledge, this may get you from one asset set to multiple)
(NOTE: If you choose to use Patreon, you agree that you must remain subscribed for a minimum of 12 months (12 payment cycles) or you submit to your commissioned assets being resold or released as Free To Use/Public Domain on OGA)
- Not Accepted:
- Payment via just a percentage of the released projects sales is not accepted unless you have a portfolio and prior history (all of which is subject to review)
- Follows, Likes, Subs on Social Media platforms is not an acceptable payment method
- Trade for physical objects are not accepted
- Art Trades are not usually accepted (you can ask though)
Patreon* How does it help?
- Your Subscription to my Patreon as payment will help generate more traffic, this I feel is a fair trade off for ultimately a $12 asset!
- How can this turn around and help you? With the addition of your assets only costing as low as $12 if you subscribe with at least $2 or more, I'll return the favor and subscribe back to you on your Patreon.
- Don't have a Patreon? No problem, the more you pledge the more I'll put into an asset you want made!
Extended Terms and Art Info:
Lastly, unpaid assets will either be resold or posted one year later here on OGA for all to use.
Now for some art!
Most of what Ill post here will either soon be available for use on OGA or are on PixelJoint for viewing only, however if it is not already a part of my OGA library it is subject to the following until said time that it becomes available on my OGA library.
*DEMO IMAGES and LEGAL* All images presented here by me "Dakota Jack" are under copyright law unless posted otherwise on my personal OGA account every image here is subject to the following: If you use these images you agree to and MUST give credit to me as "IllusionOfMana" or "Dakota Jack", you also must notify me in advance before use. Commercial use of a clients assets without their express permission including removal of a watermark is theft of that clients IP and protection towards that client WILL be enforced.
Hey, you draw really good! I was actually looking for some character art and backgrounds for that VN of mine, and a font!
just shoot me a message or email and let me know the details!
Ahhh, the project is a bit to early to have any real details to it yet, I'm afraid, I'll let you know when I have ^^
What is your experience with RPG Maker MV?
I know a bit however like any other "game engine" Ive mostly dropped it for my own in house engine. If youre looking to get compatible assets made for it then I can try and make that happen.
I am looking for assets, yes.
I'm going to need character sprites, enemy sprites, and map tilesets. I can DM you the details if you're interested.
Sure thing feel free to DM me here, email me, or reach me via discord.
Okay, I sent you one on here.
More examples of what I can do.

This is really good too, nice mellow colors in that forest!
Thanks, the forest map really comes to life when you add some of the masking layers like godrays or foliage shaddow mask
More to demo.

That is some captivating pixelart, Illusion.

thanks a lot of my tilesets are originally inspired by this
I found it some two years ago on here and now I share it with everyone who wants a simple start on learning how to make tilesets by editing this one.
https://opengameart.org/content/tileset-1bit-color
Small update, Ive added a video to an old Alpha build of my game demonstrating visual assets in use! I've also adding a clearer payment description since the last 6 or so clients and I have had a hard time starting off the business side of things.
You can expect rates to start at:
2$ per 16x32 pixel sprite of high complexity(all flips, rotations by 90* or copy frames are free following their original sprite frame)
1$ per 16x16 tile of high complexity(same as before all flips, rotations by 90* or copy frames are free following their original)
All assets created scale from this base price based on their size and complexity. These prices are fully negotiable.
Ill update the lead post with base prices once Ive found a fair point that works best but for now these will do.
Recent commission and recent mochup based on this
all commissions are watermarked for the safety of the client as well as the client has given permission to post content they have perchased

another demo of more complex work I can do. This one was a gift to a friend.

That is gorgeous! Extrapolating from your rates above, a scene like the "agift" one would cost me about $416? :)
--Medicine Storm
OMG no lol XD "agift" is a "still scene" so its much cheaper than if I tiled it out. I calculate still scenes based on overall detail level and size rather than individual tile detail and size. I guess I should have mentioned that above XD.
I am looking for some Zelda like house tiles to go with what I already have. What are your rates. And they have to be oversized to work properly in unity.
Here is an example of what I got so far. Thank you!

Hi, thanks for reaching out!
Starting rates are $1 per tile (flips, copies, and rotations are free).
This price is negotiable naturally, its just something set to start from.
Wow I was pretty sure Unity fixed that issue with the need for upscaled tiles (at least from my experience with it the last game I made... oh well, thats typical of Unity...).
Either way your request to upscale is is possible I just need to know by how much.
If you could please DM me or you can reach me on Discord we can talk more about it and try and make a house tileset that fits your needs!
Here is a mockup tileset that depicts something you might receive when requesting work for me. This will be a free set that I'll be posting on OGA's library eventually, but for right now it is subject to copyright rules mentioned above.
I usually do mockups to try and guage what direction you'd like me to go in before getting to the detailed, though this one is high enough quality to be NES like and used on its own.
Mockups have their own errors naturally and do not depict a final piece however they do insure that quality, time, and ability to work with your direction will be implemented and carried out to the final product.

It looks very good still!
Maybe you can draw 4 animations of a bird?
Is that something you need? XD lol
I mean, I can do that.
Can you make it a snes style instead of nes style?
Well, I did but thats for the client. If youre looking for free mockup tiles then send me a message or email me. Keep in mind mockup tiles are free to use but I still MUST be credited.
Otherwise higher detail objects/tiles must be perchased via one of my various methods.
About the bird, it is actually something I need, but I guess it is maybe sorta confounding why I'd want you to draw something which I can do well enough myself - if that's what you mean...
I mean, if you want to pay me to make you some 4 sprites of a bird, I can do that XD. It wouldnt cost much either. 4 sprite frame, maybe $5? IDK at the moment, Id have to start drawing them to reall know.
Step by step on how a SNES like tileset is made. from Mockups to outline to detail!

What can you do for boss characters? Like a 64 by 64 Sprite? Sorry I have not gotten back with you still busy coding and have not gotten to a point of needing new sprites yet. I have not been able to find anything I like for enemies either or NPCs.
Boss is pretty vague, assume if its pixelart i can do most anything. But without at least a description I cant really do anything. I can make sprites as small or as large as you need just keep in mind the bigger the sprite the longer it takes to draw and animate.
Im also starting some mini tutorials too!

I haven't forgotten about you. Just deep into coding right now. Trying to get all or most of my coding done before I start fully designing the world and people. Still trying to nail down a good story.
sure, whenever youre ready!
Thanks for your support guys! I am no longer accepting commissions at this time! All my slots are full :D
If you have a currently pending commission for me, do not worry I still am anticipating working with you! However take into consideration that setup may take longer as I adjust my schedualling to fit you in.
I will Post back here when a slot opens up as well as update this post with whatever new pixelart I have.
Once again thanks!!!
A few things I was able to do in my "inbetween time" for other commissions. I currently have a slot open for work and am looking to fill it. If you have any questions or want to see something done in a style feel free to message me or ask me here and ill get back to you as soon as I can (typically within the day).

that good anime style :3
which one XD the "i love you" or the SNK style?
The SNK one is especially impressive I think.
Thanks. It was my first attempt at capturing the style of a "Fighter Girl".
It has its flaws but I bet after two or three more redraws it would be perfect.
Quick update its been a while. I should have more to follow this in a bit, I just have to put the watermark on them since theyre for a client.

All beautiful!
Thanks! Its been good work! hoping to look for a lot of small jobs soon to really kick off the spring!
So quite a bit of side detail here. First one to talk about is Space Maria which is one of my internet friends OCs that belongs to him but i drew the pixels you should really check him out here @dsloogie
the next one under that filename TEST.png is actually a template for a minesweeper clone based on alex kidd style graphics that i made for the SMSPower forum tutorial "lets make a z80 game"
The colors are compatible with the Sega Master system, Sega MD/G (in z80 mode) and Game Gear (in SMS mode).
Cyber UI - Hatches are all from my account and are very early works but i felt it would be easier if i brought them here so viewers arent jumping around too much.
Same goes for Stasis.png however this one is drawn in a pencil quick sketch like style. The main reason for all of this is to show that i can adapt multiple different styels.
Lastly is FaxiModu.png which are sprite edits of Faxinadu sprites when I was part of a team working working on a challenge competition to convert the Faxinadu rom into a castlevania like spinoff with new mechanics. The challenge was to turn one game into another without changing more than 20% of its code. unfortunately we never finished that one.
