I will pixel art character animation, sprite sheet animation, 2d character animation


About this gig
Turn a static character into a living, breathing sprite sheet animation ready to drop straight into your game engine.
I create smooth, game ready pixel animation for indie developers and studios idle loops, walk cycles, attacks, jumps, and full action sets. Every animation is frame by frame hand drawn (no AI interpolation), so movement stays crisp and true to pixel art principles.
What you get:
Frame by frame pixel art animation, hand crafted for smooth motion
Delivered as a clean sprite sheet (horizontal or grid layout your choice) plus individual frames
Transparent PNG sprite sheets, ready for Unity, Godot, GameMaker, RPG Maker, and more
GIF preview included so you can see it in motion before final delivery
Frame count and timing tailored to your animation needs (looping idle, combat sequences, etc.)
Perfect for: indie game developers, game jams, mobile games, RPGs, platformers, and any project that needs that classic retro motion feel.
If you already have the character design (from me or elsewhere), just send the sprite and I'll handle the animation. If you need both design and animation, check out my character design gig or message me for a combined custom offer.
Delivery style preference
Please inform the freelancer of any preferences or concerns regarding the use of AI tools in the completion and/or delivery of your order.

FAQ
Can you animate non-human characters (creatures, robots, etc.)?
Yes, any character type, as long as I have a clear reference or base sprite to work from.
What sprite sheet layout do you use?
I can deliver a horizontal strip, grid layout, or individual numbered frames, whatever your game engine's importer expects.
How many frames per animation?
Typically 4–8 frames depending on the action (idle/walk are usually 4–6, attacks/jumps can run 8+ for smoother motion). Let me know if you need a specific frame count for your engine's timing.
Do I need to provide the character design, or can you create one too?
You can send your own character sprite, or I can design one first (see my character design gig) and then animate it, just message me for a combined quote.
