Calling all artists!
We're looking for an artist to help create key art for our game Enigma Heart, a sapphic 2D action RPG!
Specifically, full-body character art and some backgrounds to help promote our game in online digital spaces. We're looking for artists that work well in an 80s/90s anime aesthetic and can start work sometime mid to late September. See reference art below for the general vibe we're going for.
