I'm building an isometric social MMO (pixel-art style, Habbo-like) on Phaser 3 + Colyseus (TypeScript). I need an experienced 2D game artist + integrator to deliver a working player avatar. Scope: One base character (chibi proportions, I'll provide reference art) as an 8-directional sprite (S, SE, E, NE, N, NW, W, SW) — idle + walk cycle. Pixel-art / clean 2D style that fits an isometric pixel world (2:1 tiles, ~26.57°). Delivered as sprite sheets + JSON atlas, with a consistent foot anchor across all directions and frames (no bobbing/sliding when turning or walking). Integration into my existing Phaser/Colyseus setup: the avatar must render by player facing (facing → direction sprite) and play idle/walk based on movement. I can give repo access or a clear spec. Must-have experience: Isometric games, 8-direction character sprites, sprite-sheet/atlas pipelines. Phaser 3 (bonus: Colyseus). Portfolio with directional animated characters (please link specific examples). Nice to have (future phase, quote separately): Modular/paper-doll layered clothing system (swappable hair/top/bottom/accessories registered across all directions). Deliverables: source files (PSD/Aseprite), exported sprite sheets + JSON, and integration code or clear integration support. Please quote: (a) base avatar 8-dir idle+walk, (b) integration, (c) optional modular system separately. Include timeline and 2-3 relevant portfolio links.

Hi, I've shipped several multiplayer games with sprite-based character systems, including a pixel-art PvP shooter I built ([login to view URL]) where directional character rendering and animation state management were core to the gameplay feel. For your isometric MMO, I'd handle the full pipeline: chibi base character drawn to your reference, all 8 directions with idle and walk cycles, a consistent foot anchor baked in from the start so there's no drift when the player turns, and sprite sheets exported with a JSON atlas ready to drop into Phaser 3. Integration-wise, I'd wire the facing value from your Colyseus state directly to the direction sprite and toggle idle/walk based on velocity, keeping it clean and easy to extend for the modular clothing phase later. Quotes: (a) Base avatar, 8-dir idle + walk, sprite sheet + JSON atlas, source files: $350-$500, 6-8 days. (b) Phaser 3 integration into your existing repo: $150-$200, 2-3 days. (c) Modular paper-doll system across all 8 directions: $500-$800, quoted after reviewing your repo structure. Best regards, Carlos F.

Hi, I understand you need both the pixel art avatar production and the Phaser integration handled properly, not just a sprite sheet. I can create a chibi 8 direction isometric player avatar with idle and walk cycles, consistent foot anchor, clean frame alignment, and exports as sprite sheets with JSON atlas so the character turns and walks without sliding or bobbing. I have experience with 2D game assets, pixel style character sheets, directional animation, and preparing production ready game art for engines. I can also support the Phaser 3 side by mapping facing direction to the right animation state and setting idle or walk playback based on movement. The modular paper doll system can be quoted separately as a future phase. You can view my related game art and animation work here: https://www.freelancer.com/u/Humaumair12 Timeline: 5 to 7 days for base avatar, 1 to 2 days for integration support, modular system estimated separately after reviewing the structure.

Hello, I have carefully analyzed your requirements for creating and integrating an 8-direction isometric pixel-art avatar into your Phaser 3 + Colyseus MMO, with consistent animation, sprite atlas delivery, and seamless gameplay integration. I recently worked on 2D multiplayer game projects involving directional character animation, sprite-sheet pipelines, Phaser-based rendering, and animation state management. The focus was on producing clean pixel-art assets with precise frame alignment, consistent anchors, and smooth transitions between idle and movement states. For your project, I will create a chibi-style 8-direction avatar with idle and walk animations, delivered as optimized sprite sheets, JSON atlas, and editable source files (PSD/Aseprite). I will integrate the character into your Phaser 3 + Colyseus project, ensuring correct facing logic, movement-based animation switching, and stable foot anchors across all frames. I can also provide a separate quote for a modular paper-doll clothing system designed for future expansion. I am available to start immediately and committed to delivering polished artwork, clean integration, and well-organized assets within the shortest possible timeframe. Best regards, Oleh.

Hi, I'd work in Aseprite for the pixel art using a consistent foot anchor grid from frame one so the character never slides or bobs when switching direction, which is the detail that makes or breaks isometric avatar feel. This combines a clean 8-directional chibi sprite sheet with Phaser 3 integration where the facing value from Colyseus state maps directly to the correct direction animation and idle or walk plays automatically based on movement, which is the goal. In similar projects, I've produced isometric character sprites with full 8-direction walk cycles, exported sprite sheets with JSON atlases, and integrated directional animation logic into Phaser 3 projects with server-driven state. My quotes are roughly: (a) base avatar 8-direction idle and walk in Aseprite plus exported sprite sheet and JSON atlas, (b) Phaser 3 integration with Colyseus facing state wired to direction and animation, and (c) modular paper-doll clothing system quoted separately once the base is approved. Timeline is ten to fourteen days for art and integration combined, and I'll share specific directional character portfolio links in chat right now.

Isometric pixel art avatars with 8-directional animation and Phaser 3 integration is a specific combination I have delivered before and your spec is clear enough to quote against confidently. For the base avatar I will draw the chibi character in your reference style across all 8 directions with idle and walk cycles, maintaining a consistent foot anchor throughout so there is no sliding or bobbing when direction changes. Deliverables include Aseprite source files, exported sprite sheets, and a JSON atlas ready to load directly into Phaser 3. Integration into your existing Phaser and Colyseus setup covers facing direction to sprite mapping and idle to walk state switching based on movement input. For the optional modular paper doll system I would structure the sprite sheets with registered layers per direction so hair, top, bottom, and accessories composite cleanly across all 8 directions and all frames without misalignment. Happy to share relevant portfolio examples of directional isometric characters and provide separate quotes for all three components once I have reviewed your reference art and repo spec. What are your target tile dimensions and character pixel height?

Hi there, I can create your isometric MMO avatar with the precision needed for a smooth Phaser 3 + Colyseus experience. I have experience in 2D game art, pixel-style character design, sprite sheet production, animation workflows, and game asset integration. I will deliver a clean chibi-style 8-direction avatar (S, SE, E, NE, N, NW, W, SW) with polished idle and walk cycles, consistent foot anchors, and frame alignment so there is no sliding, bouncing, or visual mismatch during movement. I’ll provide organized source files, sprite sheets, and JSON atlas ready for your pipeline. For integration, I can connect the avatar logic to your Phaser 3 setup so facing direction controls the correct animation state and movement triggers idle/walk naturally. I understand isometric worlds require accuracy in angles, spacing, and animation timing. I’ll focus on creating an asset that feels native to your MMO, not just a standalone sprite. If you are interested in my experience and proposal, please contact me and discuss more details. I am ready to get started immediately. Thanks, Matthew
