JOB OVERVIEW

We are looking for a 2D artist who is also a strong Spine animator (or an artist + animator duo) to create all the art.

The game's math and code are finished and tested. Only art and animation remain, so you will see your work running in the real game quickly.

THE GAME
- Online slot, 6x5 board, cascading symbols, browser-based (PixiJS)
- Tone: action anime, epic and dark. Think boss fight from an anime series, not a generic mobile game

WHAT YOU WILL CREATE (5 phases, each approved and paid before the next)
1. Concept: moodboard, character design (front, profile, enraged state), style test for 3 symbols, background sketch
2. Statics: all symbols, backgrounds (base game and bonus), board frame, UI panels
3. Character in Spine: full rig + 10 animations (idle, hit, seal, rage, defeat, etc.)
4. Symbol animations (land, win, explode), 7 mechanic effects, bonus intro/summary, big win screens
5. Wrap-up: loading screen, game logo, thumbnail, studio logo

REQUIREMENTS
- Strong anime illustration skills: clean linework, cel or semi-painted shading
- Spine Professional experience. We use Spine 4.2: your exports must be from the 4.2 branch (JSON + .atlas + WebP)
- Ability to optimise for web: atlas pages max 2048x2048, total art under 25 MB
- Portfolio with Spine animations (slot or casino game experience is a big plus) Also regular art portfolio
- Good written English and regular progress updates

TERMS
- Paid per approved phase, two revision rounds per phase included
- Full transfer of commercial rights and delivery of all source files (.spine, layered PSD)
- Paid test task before the full project
- Possible long-term work: this is the first of several games

HOW TO APPLY

1. Portfolio link with Spine animations
2. Your quote per phase and total price
3. Estimated timeline per phase in weeks
4. Whether you can also do the number font and studio logo
