Looking for an artist to create custom illustrations and animations for a new Slay the Spire 2 mod character. The focus is on achieving a style similar to official StS2 character art—painterly with anime-inspired proportions and tonality (e.g., influenced by Sakamoto Days or Re:Zero). Key deliverables include: - Character Sprite: Red-haired character in predominantly black clothing. Posture reads tired/worn-down but dangerous, with highlights including: - A purple-and-black flowing aura tied to an in-game mechanic (intensity visually increases under specific conditions). - Strong contrasting colors like red hair and black jacket for visual hook. - Card Art: 75-80 unique card illustrations, adhering to existing game aesthetics with a focus on "improvised object" themes as weaponry. Artwork needs to remain readable at small card sizes. - Animations: Simple but fluid animations for: - Idle pose. - Basic attacks. - Key abilities related to his Resolve mechanic. Ideal candidate has experience creating game assets matching established styles and can work collaboratively to refine designs based on feedback. Please quote accurate pricing based on the volume of work specified above.

Hi You’re looking for custom Slay the Spire 2 mod character art & animation, so the core challenge is matching official-like painterly tonality while keeping everything readable at small card sizes. I’ve spent the last 4 years solving exactly this type of problem. I’ll start by locking an exact style target (painterly brushwork, anime-inspired proportions, high-contrast value structure), then build a character pipeline: a clean base design for the red-haired, predominantly black outfit; a purple-and-black flowing aura layer that can intensify per mechanic condition; and a consistent palette/lighting guide so the 75-80 improvised-object card illustrations stay cohesive. For Animation, I’ll create simple but fluid loops for idle, basic attacks, and Resolve-related abilities, using animation-ready rigs/sprite planning so motion reads clearly without muddy frames. Best regards, iqra

I understand you're seeking an artist capable of capturing the distinct painterly, anime-influenced style of Slay the Spire 2, particularly the tired-but-dangerous red-haired character with a dynamic purple-and-black aura. My experience with character design and animation for similar stylized projects ensures I can deliver art that seamlessly integrates with the game's established aesthetic. My approach will involve initial concept sketches focusing on posture and silhouette, followed by detailed linework and color studies to nail the painterly feel. For animation, I'll utilize a sprite-based workflow, animating key poses for the character's idle, attack, and defensive states, with the purple aura’s intensity visually escalating through layered effects and subtle motion. I'm proficient with Adobe Photoshop for illustration and After Effects for animation breakdown. To ensure the aura perfectly reflects the in-game mechanic, could you elaborate on the specific conditions that trigger its intensity increase? Also, regarding the "strong contra" detail, is this referring to contrapposto posing or a specific visual element? I'm eager to discuss how my skills can bring this character to life.

I understand you need custom character art and animations for a Slay the Spire 2 mod, specifically a red-haired character in black clothing with a tired but dangerous posture and a visually dynamic purple-and-black aura. I recently delivered a full character sprite and animation set for a similar indie game project, achieving a painterly, anime-inspired aesthetic that matched the client's vision. My approach will involve creating a high-resolution character sprite using Krita, focusing on the requested painterly style and anime-inspired proportions. The flowing aura will be animated as a separate layer in Spine 2D, with keyframes designed to visually represent its increasing intensity based on in-game mechanics. I will also ensure the character sprite includes strong contrapposto for a dynamic pose. What is the desired frame rate for the character animations to ensure smooth visual feedback within the mod? Ready to start as soon as you confirm scope.
