Polished 2.5D Metroidvania Action-RPG Slice - 2D Pixel Artist + Spine Animator — Vertical Slice

We're producing a polished 8-minute vertical slice of a 2.5D Metroidvania Action-RPG with twin elemental heroes, to be shown directly to investors. This needs to look and feel finished, not prototype-rough — please only bid if your portfolio reflects shipped, polished work.

Visual direction: vivid, saturated pixel art — think Dead Cells / Castlevania: Belmont's Curse. Warm, ember-driven palette for this scene.

Scope:

Character (fire hero):

Spine rig: idle, run, jump, 2–3 hit basic combo, parry, 2 elemental special-move animations.
One enemy type (3–4 frames) + one compact mini-boss.

Environment (scrapyard):

One self-contained combat arena, 2–3 parallax layers, one tileset, ambient lighting/FX (embers, forge-glow).

Deliverables: Spine project file + spritesheets, layered source files, tileset sheet, and a clean short capture/reel suitable for an investor deck.
Terms: NDA required before detailed brief/reference materials are shared. Full IP/asset rights transfer to us on final payment.
Timeline: [15 days]
Budget: [fixed-price — 10000]

Please include: portfolio links (Spine-rigged combat animation and environment/parallax work), your availability for this timeline, and confirmation you're comfortable signing an NDA.
