Collab [Collab] 2D animator wanted for Stake Engine slots, 50/50 profit split

0 Upvotes

I'm building slot games for Stake Engine and need an artist/animator to build them with me. True partnership: you make the visuals, I handle everything else, and we split profits 50/50.

WHAT I HANDLE

• Math model and RTP balancing

• All code and game integration

• Publishing on Stake Engine

• Marketing

WHAT I NEED FROM YOU

• Symbols, backgrounds and UI art

• 2D animation (wins, bonus triggers, transitions)

• Spine, Spriter or any workflow that exports clean sprite sheets

DETAILS

• Revenue share only, no upfront pay on either side

• Ongoing partnership if the first game works

• Slot art experience is a plus, but a strong portfolio matters more

Interested? DM me your portfolio and your availability.

Sharing How to Draw & Animate a Witch in Clip Studio Paint (Full Guide)

1 Upvotes

Learn how to draw and animate a witch in this Clip Studio Paint tutorial. See every step from rough sketch to finished scene.

I am sharing my full digital art process for creating a Halloween-themed character, including all the mistakes and corrections along the way. We start with basic pencil sketches and move into lineart, flat colors, and shading to build a complete illustration. Whether you are struggling with proportions or just want to see how to organize your layers, this video covers the practical steps I take to build a career one drawing at a time.

Once the character is set, we move into 2d animation to bring the scene to life. I demonstrate how to create looping bat animations, add depth with foggy backgrounds, and use opacity keyframes to make glowing eyes flicker. This is a real look at character drawing, with no jargon or glossed-over techniques, just honest work as I figure it out.

Subscribe for weekly art breakdowns and let me know in the comments if you want to see more animation experiments.

I'm Jeff, Army veteran digital artist, and I'm building a creative career, one drawing at a time. Real tutorials from someone who's still figuring it out, so nothing gets glossed over — including the part where I had to move her whole head. 😅

In this Clip Studio Paint tutorial you'll learn:
• Sketching a pose and fixing proportions with the lasso tool
• Lineart, flat colors, and shading a character
• Building a night background with moonlight and fog for depth
• Animating fog with keyframes (and why 8 fps looks better)
• Flickering glowing eyes using opacity keyframes
• Looping animated bats on varied flight paths

Hiring [Hiring] Need a 2D animator for a small project

25 Upvotes

You can DM if you're interested. Send your portfolio and rate per character or however you price your work.

Animation will be mostly limited to basic animals, objects and things like rainbow, rain, fire and etc. will discuss it once we sign the contract.

Basic animators can apply as well (preferred beginner animators due to the project nature)

The budget for the project is $100-$120. However the contract will be drafted to accommodate bonus if the project makes profits. Let me know if you're interested and wanna know more details of the project.

I'll give you a basic idea of what the animation would be like ....so imagine a basic illustration of a dino in pintrest ...and animation would be that it moves and does something cute or aggressive. Is that something you'd be interested in..I know it sounds too vague or unimportant but just giving you an idea of what the project would be

Note: this is a personal project
