Animated Pixel Art Spell Effects Needed for Mobile RPG
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
I’m developing a 2D top-down mobile RPG in pixel art, with tactical combat inspired by classic MMORPGs. The project is already well-defined (game design, classes, spells). I’m looking for a pixel artist to create frame-by-frame animated spell sprites. No work on characters, monsters, environments, or UI.
