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:
- State the character you'd like done and why it is you think it would be worth the effort while indicating what style you'd like it to be.
- Be prepared to provide both reference animations or even video captures on request even before someone says yes or no.
- Explain your price range so that if someone is interested it can either be negotiated or accepted. Crowd-funding is obviously ok as well.
- Understand who takes up your offer in both time and quality so that the end result is your fault and your fault alone.
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).
Kamekaze
Character: Allen Snider (SF EX series)
Commissioning: Full sprite-set (more info in the spoiler).

We've seen quite a few single sprites here and there but I'd like the whole thing to be brought to life. Given that he's a shoto it's not truly that complicated to do but at the same time I don't want corners cut either. With my EX Sakura nearing completion it would be nice to use the same EX system on him (and probably K-style alt mode). That and I'm sure other people probably want in on this too and I can't really tell anyone not to do something once it's public eh?
Style: CPS2/naomi. Basically 16 colors unless it requires more. Sprite separation is nice but not required. And by CPS2 I mean pseudo-CvS but the game was basically CPS2 so yeah.
References:
Any and all animations available upon acceptance of job.
Price Range: Name it and keep it reasonable. I don't really have a minimum or maximum. If you think you can handle it I will look at your previous work to see if you'd be the right fit (as the client it's my right to honestly).
Time Frame: Within a year. ASAP works too.
BOUNTY STATUS: CLAIMED

Character: Terry Bogard
Commissioning: Two animations.

I need his Neo Max from KoF XI-XIII 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.
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:
