I need pixel art for my ss13 server and am hoping to recruit whites or slavs of good character.

Most everything would be 32x32 png style pixel art. PNGs with transparency are extremely easy to import into the game. I have provided artstyle references in the spoiler below.

If someone is interested just say so in the thread and perhaps post some things you made that are pixel-arty (they would not need to match the game as long as you intend on trying to match the game later).

I will offer up front $25 (USD) a hour at present. Some nations are sanctioned. I can do paypal or whatever you prefer as long as its possible for me to do. If you take crypto then I do not think there will be a problem regardless of where you live.

Here is a list of tasks from my multi thousand line todo list that I earmarked for artist recruiting purposes:
  • emergency space suit that doesn't look just like a normal tbh one
  • viewable mech attachments, open framed ripley with optional armor modding/cockpit
  • SCIENCE - PLASMA
    • magnetic bottle machine to make hyper compressed gas/molecularly packed plasma explosive material
      • this would be a multi-tile machine made of parts that are bolted down and work in tandem
      • perhaps addon modules that facilitate superheating or supercooling
    • battery powered magnetic bottle for transporting superheated/high pressure gas or other material
      • status lights showing battery status so you know if its about to blow
  • Squirrels (their stuff is made of cobbled together trash and wires and stuff)
    • weapons, radio sprite
    • squirrel tcomms node
    • squirrel hydroponics for growing trees to farm nuts
  • Space suit for kiwi
  • better in-construction icon for turrets (the current one is just a 1px outline for in-construction)
    • heres what the current non-construction sprites are (its a popup turret)
    • turret reference.pngturret reference 2.png
  • wizard sprites (white/red livery to invoke KKK vibes)
  • destroyed/ruined MMI sprite for when a borg gets headshotted in the brain pan
    • current mmi sprites (with and without brain)
    • mmi ref 1.pngmmi ref 2.png
 
If I'm honest this actually looks fairly promising

I would like a version of this that overlays over the existing kiwi sprite, and the helm is just transparent so that you can see the kiwi through it?

How long do you think it would take to make that id tbh pay for some spriting prototyping

If I transfer the new kiwi sprites I did, can I can continue working on that version of the space suit instead of adapting it to the sprites currently in game?

HOW do I transfer sprites btw? Do I just publish their png file here or do I have to a make a github account to post them on the riviera repository?
I can probably do all of the kiwi suit sprites in less than a day, but today I'll be busy for an unknown amount of time.

No I am tbh emotionally attached to the current sprite although yours is not bad

HOW do I transfer sprites btw?
Just open dream maker and import it its not that hard tbh

like for instance open up icons/mob/mob.dmi in dream maker, then right click one of the empty slots and click import

I already know how to access them. I take it I just upload the png files to this thread then?
 
You mean power loader from aliens?
Is there already existing sprite?

heres some sprite sheets pertaining to it and its equipment

basically like a system would need to be devised to place mech equipment over the various directions of ripley sprite (possibly requiring fairly radical changes to the ripley sprite itself)
 
Hey could I get a human template file from the server, I wanted to make funny clothing but wanted to make sure it was properly proportioned.
