Graphic Designer and Pixel Artist Needed for Finalizing Mobile Game UI

I am in search of a talented Graphic Designer and Pixel Artist to bring the final visual touches to a User Interface (UI) for a mobile game. We have a conceptual sketch of the UI screen, and the task is to transform this sketch into polished, visually appealing elements.

Key Responsibilities:
UI Finalization: Convert a conceptual sketch of a mobile game UI into final visual elements. The sketch will be provided as a guideline.
Element Design and Animation: All elements will be described in detail. Some elements will require animations, so proficiency in creating smooth, engaging animations is a must.
Creative Freedom: There is no limitation on the use of AI tools, purchased assets from marketplaces like Adobe Stock, or original illustrations created by the designer. However, the source of each element must be clearly identified to ensure no copyright infringement.
Asset Acquisition: The purchase of assets to complete or expedite the task is permitted. Any purchased assets used should be clearly indicated as part of the deliverables.

Flexibility in Design Approach:
While a conceptual sketch will be provided as a foundation, I welcome and encourage creative input from the designer. If you believe that a different layout or design solution would better serve the UI, feel free to suggest and implement these changes. The only requirement is that all elements present in the original sketch are included and effectively represented in your final design.

Important Notice Regarding Game Icons in the Sketch:
Please note that the game icons shown in the provided sketch are not part of this project's scope. As a designer, you will not be required to create icons for these games. In the sketch, these icons are merely placeholders indicating where actual game icons will eventually be positioned. Your focus should be on the overall UI design and the integration of other visual elements as per the project requirements.

Skills and Qualifications:
Proven experience in Graphic Design and Pixel Art, preferably with a portfolio showcasing previous work in mobile game UIs.
Strong ability to translate conceptual sketches into final visual designs.
Proficiency in animation, with an emphasis on creating engaging and dynamic visual elements.
Familiarity with a variety of design tools and resources, including AI tools and asset libraries.
Excellent communication skills and attention to detail, especially regarding sourcing and licensing of design elements.

Application Process:
Interested candidates should submit their proposals along with:

A portfolio of relevant past work.
An outline of their approach to transforming the provided sketch into a final UI design.
If available, examples of animations created for game elements.
