Here are a few examples of my sprites: (more on down)
☛ Why are you doing this for free?
I can only develop so many games a year- while I'm averaging about 3-4 each year (including game jams like Ludum Dare), I'd like to offer my art services to other devs who can't draw or can't pay for it.
☛ What's the catch?
There, of course, are a few catches to getting free art.
- The game must be near completion/you will actually finish the game. We all know the stories of would-be devs coming up with fantastical stories but can't program, draw, write, or anything, and thus create a team to make their ideas come to life, only to never see past the first page of the script. If I put forth the work to make sprites for a game, I'd like it to see daylight.
- I must like the character designs. Assuming I won't be designing all the characters (which is discussable), I have to like the character designs. I'm not very picky, but I'll tend to not want to draw for projects that I can't draw for in the first place- I can't draw big chested guys, but I am very partial to characters with frilly/magical designs.
- You must credit my deviantART page. Everyone likes credit, right? So all I ask is to put a hyperlink to my dA page in the credits. If you don't like putting hyperlinks in your games, then on the Itch.io page or elsewhere is fine.
Cell + Gradient Sprites
These are my normal sprites, so I have a lot more experience drawing them. Find more examples here and on my Itch.io page.
Chibi Sprites
This is a new style I made for cuter projects. I am more likely to accept games that want this style because I want to work on this one more!
☛ What Else do we Need to Know?
Here's some more technical stuff about my sprites:
- These sprites can be used for commercial and non-commercial projects. I require no revenue, royalties, or anything monetary.
- I want to work on smaller projects, i.e. projects with around 5-6 characters. If your project needs more, we'll discuss it.
- I will only draw one outfit and one pose per sprite. However, all of my regular sprites (not the chibi ones) come with 8 expressions, 4 talking and 4 non. If more is needed, we'll talk about it.
- I can design characters for your projects- however, I'd like to not have to design all the characters and do all the sprite work unless I extremely like the project.
- I am more willing to work on projects with themes such as magical girls or princesses.
Please comment here with the basic plot of your game and some character designs if interested!
Please need no more than 6-8 sprites per project. If you need character designs, the limit is 4-5, depending on how much I want to design the characters.

I have some ideas for the characters and their personalities set (If that helps). 
(you'll definitely wanna do a good job if the character you're drawing is you)
