Project Title: Hi-Bit Pixel Art Character Sprite — Retro Funk/Sci-Fi Game Concept Category: 2D Game Art / Pixel Art / Character Design Character: “Velvet” — a flashy 70s funk showman and leader of a space-faring crew. Full body, front-facing or 3/4 view, standing pose (confident, one hand on hip or resting on a cane). Reference style: Attached image shows the target quality level — bold black outlines, rich cel-shading/dithering, saturated color palette, painterly pixel detail. This is NOT a low-res retro/8-bit style — looking for the higher-detail “hi-bit” approach. Outfit details: • Wide-brim hat OR tall afro with a gold streak (open to artist’s take — will specify final direction after seeing style samples) • Full beard, mirrored/star-shaped sunglasses • Open-collar suit (teal-blue or magenta — open to suggestion) with flared bell-bottom pants • Flowing cape (purple with red lining) • Gold chain + medallion • Platform boots or heeled shoes • A cane with a gem-topped handle, planted on the ground Deliverables: • 1 finished character illustration, transparent background • PNG file, minimum 1024px tall • Source file (Aseprite/PSD/etc.) if possible, so it can be edited later What I’m evaluating: Whether your style matches the vision for a larger character roster + environment art project down the line. Happy to discuss ongoing work if this test goes well. Please include in your bid: 2–3 portfolio pieces in a similar hi-bit/detailed pixel art style.

This brief is asking for a single character illustration, but the real signal is buried in the last line: "whether your style matches the vision for a larger character roster." This isn't a one-off render, it's a style audition for an entire pipeline. Before locking Velvet's final look, has the visual style guide (palette rules, outline weight, shading logic) already been defined for the full roster, or will Velvet be the piece that sets that standard? This matters because if Velvet sets the standard without that groundwork, every future character risks drifting in tone or costing extra rework to match later. Are you available for a brief 15-minute diagnostic chat today or tomorrow to align on this before any style samples go out?
