I will custom pixel art characters, sprites and avatars


About this gig
Hi, I'm Chimi, an art school graduate, illustrator and pixel artist with 8+ years of drawing experience. All artwork is 100% hand-drawn and AI-free, and I can provide a screen-recorded process video on request.
I offer three packages:
- Basic: one small pixel character or object, ideal for icons or simple NPCs.
- Standard: one detailed pixel character (up to around 128×128 px) with a simple background OR a simple animation loop. Source file included.
- Premium: one high-quality 256×256 px pixel art character or illustration with extra detail and polish, perfect for key art or cover images. Source file included.
I can create character designs, portraits/avatars, sprites, NPCs, simple animations and other game-ready assets.
Workflow:
1) You send your idea, canvas size, style/mood and references.
2) I draw a WIP for feedback.
3) I refine and deliver clean PNG files (and GIF or sprite sheets if needed).
Please message me before ordering, especially for larger projects or multiple characters, so we can choose the best package or set up a custom offer.
Delivery style preference
Please inform the freelancer of any preferences or concerns regarding the use of AI tools in the completion and/or delivery of your order.

FAQ
What do you need from me to get started?
Please tell me which package (Basic, Standard or Premium) you want, the canvas size, character description, pose or animation you need, preferred style/mood, deadline and any reference images. The clearer your brief, the better I can match it.
Do you use AI to create the artwork?
No. All pieces are fully hand-drawn by me from scratch, without any generative AI. If you’d like, I can also provide a screen-recorded timelapse of the drawing process as proof.
What’s the difference between the Basic, Standard and Premium packages?
Basic includes one small pixel sprite, ideal for icons or simple NPCs, with no background or animation. Standard gives you one more detailed character (up to about 128×128 px) plus a simple background OR one simple animation loop. Premium is a large, highly polished 256×256 px illustration or charac
How many characters are included in each package?
Each package includes one main character or object. If you need additional characters or variations, please contact me first so I can quote a custom price.
Does the Standard package include animation?
The Standard package can include either a simple loop animation (such as idle or walk) or a simple background. For more complex animations or multiple actions, please contact me for a custom offer.
What files will I receive?
All packages include high-quality PNG files. Standard and Premium also include the source file (for example an Aseprite or layered file). GIFs or sprite sheets can be delivered if requested.
Can you design a character from scratch?
Yes. Just tell me about the character’s role, personality, outfit and any key details. I’ll handle the visual design and turn it into pixel art for you.
Can you match a specific style or reference?
I can adapt my style to match the mood and direction of your references, but I won’t copy another artist’s work exactly. Please send examples so I know what you like.
