Creative 2d Artist for Cinematic Mobile Game Ship Sprites

We are seeking a talented and creative 2D artist to design and animate semi-realistic assets for an upcoming 2D mobile game. The initial phase of this project will focus on creating a set of animated ship sprites. These sprites need to include various states such as idle, movement, and subtle effects, all rendered with a cinematic and polished aesthetic. The primary goal is to establish a consistent and high-quality visual style that can be expanded to encompass additional game assets in future development stages. We are looking for a professional who can adapt quickly to our vision, communicate effectively, and deliver exceptional visual assets that enhance the game's environment.
