2D Traditional Animation of Game Lore

I'm seeking a talented traditional 2D animator to bring to life a story built around a game and rich lore custom created by me. The animation should be engaging and choppy, I like the style of animations that do not have smooth transitions between movements. Additionally it should help with cost & time Key Requirements: - Create traditional 2D animations based on provided game lore. - Develop character designs, backgrounds, and storyboards. - Ensure animations meet specific design ideas - Collaborate with me for feedback and revisions. Ideal Skills: - Proficiency in traditional 2D animation techniques - Strong artistic skills in character and background design - Experience in storytelling and storyboarding for an adult audience - Good communication skills for effective collaboration Please provide a portfolio showcasing your previous traditional 2D animation work, especially any related to storytelling or game lore. Any use of AI will see you not be compensated for said AI use (IE AI storyboard, character design, animation ECT) I do not respect the use of AI when I am willing to pay large amounts of money to ensure the animation is made by a human Additionally this project will take a while to complete, I am only able to make payments every month. But whatever price is agreed upon will be paid in full as soon as possible I am not looking to spend more than 1,000-1,200 on the animation itself My preferred price is around 600-800 USD You will be designing characters based off of a 2d side scroller perspective of the game All of the story will be given to you upon the start of us working together
