We are looking for a talented 2D Game Asset Artist to create visually stunning assets for a dinosaur-themed match-3 puzzle game, Jurassic Match: Prehistoric Puzzle Quest. The game will feature vibrant cartoonish designs, unique biomes, and a progression system focused on collecting dinosaurs. You will collaborate with the development team to produce game-ready assets that align with the project’s theme and vision.

Responsibilities:
• Design high-quality 2D game tiles, obstacles, power-ups, and UI elements.
• Create biome-specific backgrounds (e.g., jungle, lava, ocean).
• Develop character illustrations for the paleontologist, dinosaurs, and rival explorers.
• Produce animations for tile interactions, power-ups, and obstacles.
• Design an interactive collection book with illustrations of dinosaur species and fossil fragments.

Deliverables:
1. Game Tiles:
o 6–8 dinosaur egg tiles with vibrant colors and unique patterns.
o 4–6 fossil tiles (skulls, bones) with multi-layered designs.

4. Animations:
o Tile glow and cracking effects for matches.
o Power-up activations (e.g., T-Rex Smash, Meteor Shower, Egg Bomb).
o Obstacle interactions (e.g., ice melting, rocks shattering).
5. Characters:
o Paleontologist (4 poses: Idle, Thinking, Excited, Sad).
o Supporting dinosaurs (Baby T-Rex, Pterodactyl).
o Rival explorers with adventurous looks.
6. Collection Book:
o Dinosaur species illustrations (15–20 unique designs).
o Fossil fragments for each species.
o Fact cards with a prehistoric-themed layout.

Requirements:
• Proven experience in 2D game asset creation (portfolio required).
