2D/3D Game Art & UI Game Artist + Spine Animator Needed for Mini-Game $1k+

We're seeking a skilled 2D Art game artist and Spine animator to create visual assets for two football-themed mini-game concepts. Only one concept will be selected for final production.

The project has a strict NDA, and I will share all the details with you after you sign an NDA.

Game Concept 1:
A high-energy button-tapping game where 3 players compete to kick footballs through goal posts on a large display screen. Fast-paced, competitive gameplay with real-time scoring.

Game Concept 2:
An accuracy-based throwing game where players control quarterbacks attempting to hit moving targets. Progressive difficulty with targets speeding up after successful throws.

Style Reference:
High-quality, vibrant football game aesthetics similar to mobile sports games. Think stadium atmosphere with bright, engaging visuals that work well on large displays.

Timeline:
Storyboards: Week of July 7-14, 2025
Art Direction Lock-in: Week of July 14-21, 2025
Final Delivery: August 10, 2025 (or earlier if possible)
Preferred: Incremental delivery throughout July-August

Ideal Candidate:
Strong portfolio in 2D game art and Spine animation
Gambling/Casual games experience preferred
UI/UX design skills for game interfaces
Fast turnaround capabilities
Experience with player activation or arcade-style games is a plus

Budget:
We are open to hearing a budget from you after we will give you a technical task (requires NDA sign before). For now, I just marked a rough budget of 40.000 UAH (platform limit is 27k)

Application Requirements
Please include:
1. Portfolio showcasing relevant 2D game art/ Spine animation work
2. Be ready to provide an estimated timeline and cost for both concepts after the signed NDA as soon as possible
3. Availability for quick turnaround (around 1 month)
