If you know how like fighting games where or any old school game when you standing still the character in the game would like move up and down simulating breathing or something i want that same effect in the animation Deliverable: • Final animated file in 1080p (MP4 or MOV) plus the original layered project files. If you have a projects that are finished i would like to see, so i know if it would be the right look for my vision.

Hi there, I have thoroughly reviewed your requirements and completely understand that you need a 3-second, high-quality 1080p pixel art animation of your face and hand styled like an old-school arcade game. I see exactly how the character must feature a subtle, looping "breathing" idle stance animation—moving smoothly up and down just like a retro fighting game selection screen—and that we will stitch your provided photos together to form the perfect structural baseline for this vision. My approach relies on using Aseprite to manually convert your facial features and hand posture into a authentic, custom-shaded pixel art sprite sheet using a restricted retro color palette. I will then import these layered assets into Adobe After Effects to meticulously keyframe the secondary motion for the breathing simulation, ensuring the head, hair, shoulders, and fist bob independently to create a natural, rhythmic game loop. I will deliver a crisp 1080p MP4 or MOV file alongside the original layered files so you retain total control over the artwork. To ensure the final piece aligns perfectly with your favorite gaming era, do you prefer a heavily pixelated, chunkier 16-bit Sega Genesis style aesthetic, or a slightly smoother, highly detailed 32-bit arcade fighting game appearance? PORTFOLIO: https://www.freelancer.com/u/AneesaIBA?w=f&ngsw-bypass= I am ready to transform your photos into an awesome retro game animation immediately. Cheers, Rabia Shaikh

That old-school fighting game idle movement is exactly what came to my mind while reading your post ? ⭐️⭐️ Complete Portfolio Link ⭐️⭐️ https://www.freelancer.com/u/samang1?frm=samang1&sb=t Most people will just pixelate the image and call it done, but the tiny breathing motion, subtle head movement and that classic arcade-style "alive but standing still" feel is what actually sells the effect. If your photos are clean enough, I can build a short looping animation that feels like a real retro game character selection screen rather than a static image with a filter on top. I've worked with both traditional animation and AI-assisted workflows, so I can choose the fastest approach without sacrificing the look you're after. By the way, are you imagining something closer to Street Fighter / King of Fighters style idle motion, or more of a pixel RPG character vibe?
