Job help

[BobbyD226]

This probably isn't at all logical, but I've been through a rough patch lately and I could use some help. I've been doing pixel art since I was 13 and I've wanted to make some kind of career out of it. I might be out of a job soon and any income at all would be a big help. If anyone knows of anyone hiring pixel artists or voice actors, please let me know.

I'm also going to open up commissions through my blog at bobbytriesatlife.tumblr.com soon if anyone wants anything.

I could really use the help.

MOD EDIT: HERE ARE SOME OF HIS WORKS

Yeah, post some of your work. I am searching for months for a good pixel art to commission. So if I like your work, I'm your first client. I'm looking for something similar to Capcom or close enough.

I've edited HIS post to show his works. He is the guy who helped me and edited Namor and Tigra bases for my project

Thanks O, but maybe he can post some of his works too. Just to shape an opinion.

Thanks to everyone who replied. Also wanted to say the Zarya pic is the only one that's mine. The others are from an acquaintance named supajackle's commission post I reblogged.

Here's some more things I've been working on.

Finally made an actual commission post if anyone is interested. http://bobbytriesatlife.tumblr.com/post/155238054759/commission-time-again-due-to-recent-events-i

Update. I apparently just got billed for $790 for a short hospital visit I had last year. I currently don't have a job and don't have enough to pay for this bill along with my other monthly bills. The help would be very appreciated.

Also in the down time perhaps design an app game, get the concept and art going, then was you move along find a programmer to partner up with.

[BobbyD226]

I don't really have the time to sit down and go through the effort of coming up with a new game concept or to find a programmer who would be willing to work pro bono since I don't have a job and all my money is going to bills/immediate needs.

The commissions would at least help with keeping my income a float while I try to find a job and pay rent.

Try to post the price chart here.
Have you tried luck in any other mugen forum?(or any other gaming/art site for that matter?)

Guild, MFFA, CC, MM, MIL, MTM...deviantart, pixiv, etc,etc,etc.
I recommend mugen guild to advertise your work, since is the most active mugen forum. But you can try in other places as well, the more people know you & your work, the better.

Also, how about a few animations set in motion?, those are a selling point.
from what I've seen around (in the mugen community), you would have more chances to get comissions for
full characters and animations than just single sprites(to keep a somewhat okay revenue).

Thank you. I've been working on a mock up of a demake of Overwatch as a sidescroller. I've been thinking of a doing an animation for a few things or maybe reworking some old projects I never finished.
