I will design professional pixel art animation character sprites and retro game


About this gig
Looking for production-ready pixel art animation that feels fluid and classic? I can help!
My name is James, and I design grid-accurate, hand-placed pixel art characters, game assets, and looping backgrounds optimized perfectly for modern workflows. Whether you need a crisp sprite sheet for an indie game engine (Unity, Godot, GameMaker) or a smooth loop for your stream overlay, everything is built frame-by-frame from scratch. No AI, no generic templates.
What I Can Create For You:
- Character Sprites: Main heroes, enemies, or bosses with fluid motion design.
- Asset Animation: Interactive environmental props, glowing chests, breakable items.
- VFX Elements: Custom smoke, pixelated fire, explosions, and projectile loops.
- Animated Scenes: Cozy lofi or parallax loop backdrops for streams.
️ What You Receive:
- Lossless Sprite Sheet (.PNG) or optimized looping .GIF.
- Native engine resolution file + scaled-up high-res preview copy.
- Organized master source file (Aseprite/PSD).
Please send me a private message before ordering so we can discuss canvas sizes and constraints!

FAQ
What software do you use to create the pixel art?
I design everything natively in Aseprite or Adobe Photoshop. This allows me to create perfectly aligned grids, control precise color palettes, and export clean, engine-ready asset sheets.
In what file formats will I receive my custom assets?
For animations, you will receive optimized, seamless .GIF loops. For game engines, I provide transparent .PNG files and structured sprite sheets. If your package includes source files, you will receive the native .ASEPRITE or .PSD master files.
Can you scale up the final images without losing quality?
Absolutely! Pixel art can look blurry if scaled incorrectly. I deliver your files at their crisp native engine resolution (e.g., 32x32px or 64x64px), along with a scaled-up high-resolution version (200% or 400%) perfect for presentation, web use, or marketing.
Do you provide the animations as a sprite sheet?
Yes! Every animation tier comes automatically formatted into a clean, grid-accurate sprite sheet. Just let me know your frame layout preferences (horizontal, vertical, or matrix grid) before delivery so it plugs into your engine flawlessly.
What animations are typically included in game character packs?
For standard game development setups, typical loops include: Idle, Walk, Run, Jump, Attack, Take Damage, and Death. If you need highly specific combat moves or specialized interactive item states, please message me for a custom offer!
Do I get full commercial rights to use the art in my game?
Yes, once the order is successfully completed, you retain 100% full commercial rights to use the pixel art and character designs in your video games, streaming platforms, apps, or commercial merchandise.
Can you work with an existing art style or reference sheet?
Yes! If your game already has a defined visual aesthetic, color palette restrictions (such as Pico-8 or Game Boy restrictions), or an established camera angle (top-down, side-scroller, isometric), send over your reference images. I will match them perfectly
What are your maximum grid or canvas size limits?
My standard packages cover asset grids from 16x16px up to 128x128px. If you need high-fidelity or large-scale asset designs (such as massive boss monsters or full parallax map backdrops), reach out directly and I will build you a custom quote.
What is your revision policy if I need a visual change?
Revisions cover adjustments to colors, minor animation timing pacing, or small asset shape tweaks on the existing concept. They do not cover a complete rewrite of the initial brief after the design work is finished, so please share your exact requirements upfront!
Can you create animated background environments and UI tiles?
Yes! Beyond characters, I specialize in looping environment scenes, animated stream backdrops, tile sets, and custom game user interface elements. Send me a message detailing your full project scope and let's bring it to life.
