Title: TEST RUN - The spriters bounty thread. (more details in thread)
Post by: Kamekaze on August 22, 2014, 01:16:12 am
Hello, here's an idea that I spoke with jmorph about that would be very beneficial to me and anyone else with the proper capital to fund ideas or even just to get some anims done and are completely aware that work is not free when the quality is good. The goal of this thread is to close the gap between good spriters and the people who can afford them. Essentially the format I have in mind is as so:



To the spriters, understand that someone declining your particular offer for one reason or another means that the request is now officially not your problem and is not worth catching feelings for UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE. Also give a reasonable time-frame so that no money is exchanged until both parties are satisfied.

I digress, let's get this party started (hopefully).

Well if you have previous work you've done that's a great start. It would cement that you can both animate and sprite up to par with what I'm willing to shell out money for.

As we discussed this on Skype, I think I can help you man.

Correct, if all goes well this bounty may be claimed. But worry not folks I have much more I have in store that I want done and if you got the quality I have the money.

Post by: Kamekaze on August 23, 2014, 02:47:20 am
The person who presented me with PoC and proof of ability was none other than Ryūku Tsukuyomi
He's pretty good and in prime position to become one of the premier spriters. Not only have I paid him for this project but hes still open for commissions so if you got something feel free to post it here via the format! The price negotiated for 387-430 sprites was pretty fair since spriters I've dealt with before charged up to 5 a sprite. He charged significantly less.

I have a small bounty which consists of two animations

Character  : Terry Bogard
I need his neo max from kof xi-iii converted to his kof sprites as well as a new walking animation. I'll be using the sprites for a beat-em up version of fatal fury I'm working on but the sprites will be public for anyone who might need them in the future

Style kof 98-2002 I'm using swipergod's terry's sprites from his full game so If the animations can match that color index that would be ideal I can share them if you need them just pm me
(http://i.imgur.com/jjMUlHI.png)

References: For reference you can use cvs terry he has the animation without the fx in the way and for the walk a basic walking animation is fine such as this

Price Range: State your price (within reason >:( ) Pm me your paypal as well so we can get you started

Time Frame: It's a small commission so it can be knocked out in a short time period but real life/personal life takes priority of course so no rush work at your own pace

Bounty: Unclaimed......for now....

Question: Say I have a character that I'd like to eventually do, but all I need are maybe 2 or 3 sprites to be animated (Since the available ones are static) and perhaps expanding a few existing animations, could I put a request in here??

This idea has been sitting on my mind for a while, so the timing of this thread is excellent. Figured this would be worth a mention. :mmhmm:
Title: Re: TEST RUN - The spriters bounty thread.(more details in thread)
Post by: Bastard Mami on September 23, 2014, 12:03:51 am
oh, that's a pretty fantastic idea, I also have a few knfx originated characters that could use having rmoe frames/animations as that engine is limited to 100 or so sprites.

to answer yoru question, yes, it would eb similar to asking for singel animations I guess.
Title: Re: TEST RUN - The spriters bounty thread.(more details in thread)
Post by: Saikoro on September 23, 2014, 12:07:10 am
Yeah, it's not really a lot of work since it's essentially expansion. I would say about 3 attacks need an extra 3 or 4 frames at most for fluid motion. The 3 Blocking animations (Standing, Crouching, Air) could use 1 or 2 transition frames. And the stance is static, so that would maybe be 10 or so. All in all, I'm looking for about an estimated 35 max, if not slightly less. That's it. Everything else is pretty much there as it is a CPS2 sprite.
Title: Re: TEST RUN - The spriters bounty thread.(more details in thread)
Post by: Kamekaze on September 23, 2014, 01:10:34 am
however many animations that is is what you'd state you want. If a spriter feels up to doing that they'll get in touch with you to claim the bounty. Just remember this thread is explicitly for paid commissions only.

Post by: Saikoro on September 23, 2014, 03:56:46 am
Fully understood Kamakaze. I'll post something when ideas become more concrete and when I have time to devote to a character.

And this is a really good idea too. Thanks for starting this thread.

@Thagr8test

I think I can handle those Terry animations. KoF-style sprites are a bit out of my wheelhouse but I've done one or two before. From what I can tell, the first anim is only 5 unique frames, two of which are blurred motion frames, and the second animation would be around 8 (9 if you need a transition frame between his stance and the new walk). I've got a price in mind, PM me if you're interested.

Go for it, post it here, and if there's anything off with the shading, I can give you guys a hand. You keep the bounty Sean, I don't want no moneys, just post a png sheet and I can help if necessary.

I don't even know if this is allowed but here goes.
 
I need an animator for my indie game. and obviously I'm willing to pay to get it done. If you can draw mugen/fighting game characters than you most certainly will be able to help me. Good knowledge of anatomy and animation is a requirement. Pixel art is NOT. If I could specify a style, it would be CvS, or SNK. One of the reference characters I'm using is Vanessa from KoF 2002.

Since this is an OC, I can give motion references for some things but she will need a lot done from scratch.

The price range is 300-400$ per month. I'm expecting to pay around 2000$ for this char probably more. I also have needs for at least 4-5 other chars. One is a male that will probably be a somewhat lesser price.

If you have more questions, shoot me a PM.

EDIT: 10/18/2014 This position has been filled by an artist from another forum.

I think you need to explain a bit more what you mean. you say pixel art isn't required, but this thread is for SPRITERS. so I don't know if you're going to get help. If you are looking for a 3D model animator, you've hit the wrong thread.

Post by: Bastard Thedge on October 14, 2014, 03:31:00 pm
How many sprites are required?
CvS and KOF uses a different set of get-hit sprites, you should check wich one fill your needs.
Male characters are usually harder to sprite, unless they are fully clothed (no visible skin)

I may be interested as long as you supply more information about your requirements.
Title: Re: TEST RUN - The spriters bounty thread. (more details in thread)
Post by: Bastard Mami on October 14, 2014, 06:30:34 pm
the pixel art part not requires is weird, ti almost sound like you aim for a higher res than normal.

Post by: shinn497 on October 14, 2014, 10:14:28 pm
I'm looking more for an artist to draw the motions out than someone to covert them to a pixelated format. However, since this is the type of animation that is still optimized to run in a game engine, I consider it spriting.

If there is a more appropriate place to post my offer I'm open to suggestions. I've tried other forums like gamedev.net, pixeljoint and deviant art. I always end up asking people "Have you ever made a MUGEN char? So I ended up coming here. "

I also strickly need a 2D artist. Oh gosh a 3d one is too much. The engine I programmed can't even do 3d.

This is a job for either DIEPOD or JUDAS. Maybe even Jiggeh
Title: Re: TEST RUN - The spriters bounty thread. (more details in thread)
Post by: Bastard Mami on October 15, 2014, 12:09:09 am
jiggeh sounds likr the most apropiate one, yeah.
Title: Re: TEST RUN - The spriters bounty thread. (more details in thread)
Post by: Bastard Walt on October 15, 2014, 12:30:06 am
Jiggeh is great at illustrating, but I think Diepod is great at animating. Judas is somewhere in the middle + he has alien tools for animation.
Title: Re: TEST RUN - The spriters bounty thread. (more details in thread)
Post by: shinn497 on October 19, 2014, 04:29:45 am
Dipod is an insanely talented artist! I have nothing but respect for him. But he is doing his own thing now. Thanks for the other suggestion.

This position has been filled. So I will edit my original post to reflect that.

Btw I like this community and have been a long time fan of MUGEN. My favorite character creator was Reu and I cried when he died. I want to be more active from now on.
