Pixel Art / Character & Game Design Project

We're looking for an experienced designer who is capable of creating stunning Pixel Art for our maritime inspired online Game. We'll need a broad variety of characters (Sailors, Captains, Mermaids, Pirates, etc.), as well as a few maps (from islands, sea, cities) and other items (like ships, boats, harbors, taverns, lighthouses, etc.). Characters will be a combination of different traits (so can be "re used", not have to be drawn individually).
