Job Description
We are looking for a talented 2D hand-drawn game artist to create charming visuals for a cozy desktop companion game.

If you have experience in creating whimsical and engaging game art and hand-drawn animations, we want to hear from you! Please provide a portfolio showcasing your hand-drawn style.
Important: I am only looking for original hand-drawn artwork. No AI-generated content. For animation, I want hand-drawn frame-by-frame animation, not bone/rig animation.
