Project Title: 2D Game Animation for 5 Existing Game Assets

Hi! I’m looking for a 2D game animator to animate 5 existing game assets based on the attached reference images.

The assets are already designed. I do not need redesigns or new concepts. I need the existing artwork animated while preserving the original proportions, silhouette, colors, line art, shading style, and overall visual identity.

The style is polished 2D cartoon game art, with clean readable shapes, bold outlines, soft shading, fantasy/adventure feel, and game-ready presentation.

Required animations for each asset:

1. Idle loop

* Subtle breathing, floating, mechanical movement, or ambient motion depending on the asset
* Small secondary details moving naturally
* Effects such as glow, steam, particles, gears, cloth, or accessories when applicable
* Must loop smoothly

2. Move / Walk loop

* Movement animation appropriate to the asset
* Could be walking, crawling, hovering, sliding, rolling, or mechanical movement depending on the design
* The motion should feel natural and game-ready
* Must loop smoothly

3. Attack movement

* A simple attack animation or offensive action
* Could be a strike, bite, charge, projectile preparation, body slam, energy burst, or another movement that fits the asset
* Should have readable anticipation, impact, and recovery

Deliverables:

* Transparent PNG sprite sheets for each animation
* Individual frame PNGs with transparent background
* Preview GIF or MP4 for each animation
* Source files if possible: PSD, Spine, After Effects, Aseprite, DragonBones, or similar
* Files must be ready to use in a 2D game engine, preferably Godot

Technical expectations:

* Smooth looping animations
* Consistent proportions between frames
* No background or scenery
* No unnecessary redesign
* Clean frame timing
* Game-ready readability
* No AI-looking distortion between frames
* The final result should preserve the original art style as much as possible

Please include:

* Examples of similar 2D game animations you have done
* Your estimated price for all 5 assets
* Your estimated delivery time
* Which software you will use
* Whether source/editable files are included
* How many revisions are included

I would like to start with these 5 assets first. If the result is good, I may hire you for more enemies, props, and game assets in the same style.
