[CLOSED] PIZZA'S COMMISSION THREAD

After doing a few successful, albeit "private" commissions, I thought it was high time to make a legit thread and see if I could get anything out of it. I have a lot of free time at the moment, so it felt like a good time to see if anybody wants to hire me.

Who I Am:

I'm a Canadian game designer and artist, originally from Newfoundland but now living in Toronto and attending Game Design College. I'm trying to support myself purely through indie means while living off of the money I saved working for Oil Giants in Alberta. I'm down to work on just about anything.

What I Do:

I do mainly digital art, most of my focus being on pixel art in general and digital character portraits- however, I can also do full digital paintings with painted backdrops. I can also make fantasy style map graphics (shown below). Just about the only thing I'm not really competent with is animation, but I can do it and would welcome the chance to get practice in (because I suck at forcing myself to practise animating).

Pricing:

As I've only recently started doing commission work, but in general I would charge anywhere from 15$ - 70$ CDN depending on the size and complexity of the piece involved. If you're commissioning more than one thing there would obviously be a group pricing/discount thing applied as well- I wouldn't just stack the fees up for longer term work like that.

Basically, a completely filled up tileset, a digital painting with a character and a background, a set of character portraits with emotions, or anything of that time/complexity would be in the upper levels of price, while something like a bare bones tileset or just lineart would be in the lower levels of pricing.

Example Work:

You can find plenty of examples of my work on my Twitter, in my Art Thread, or in the screenshots of my Games. I'll still post some here though:





Map example:

If you'd like to commission something, please, drop me a line via PM!

Unfortunately I don't have any examples of animation, but here are some sprites in varying styles that I've put together before:






And here's an example of mimicking/spriting onto another style, from the Refmap:



I would say that I could manage to replicate/utilize other styles like the RTP packages as well, judging by my experience using Refmap.

Modern Fantasy like how? Like a FF7 type of thing, with modern tech and fantasy tropes?

I could work with it, I'm sure. I also have no problems working with rough ideas.

You can PM me if you want to discuss the more intimate details- after reading the thread I think I'd be able to do this based on a few criteria, but it's stuff we should talk about in private.

Thanks for the interest!

Quick bump with some recent pieces of art:



Some 16x16 tile work, in a cartoonish style and a more down to earth one. Disclaimer: The sprites in the second image were made using a template by JosephSeraph.



Some portrait work- an example of a digital portrait, and it's conversion to pixel art, complete with added emotions.

May I make a suggestion? Maybe using the mouse knight icons that you have below as an example? Because their emotion portrayal is pretty good.

You don't have to exaggerate the mouth, as would be expected with the animal, but perhaps stretching it out a little bit more and tweaking the eyebrows to look exactly the same.


Keep up the good work!

Yeah, that was certainly an issue with pixelling the emotions for the Human face. I think next time I'll just draw different emotions beforehand, instead of trying to pixel over the one painting/illustration for all of them.
