[Hobby] Pixel Artist Needed For Wild West Themed Bullet Hell

Hello everyone,

We are a team of two (Programmer and Sound Designer/Composer) making a bullet-hell hell style game set in a saloon in the wild west.
We are currently looking for an artist to make some awesome looking pixel art for the game including backgrounds, sprites, icons, animations, etc. We are working on the Unity Game Engine so someone with experience with the engine is preferred but not a deal-breaker.
The game is not focused on being the next best seller but more something for our portfolio.

Game Premise:

The player controls a bartender in a western saloon. The objective of the game is to serve all of the customers who walk into the saloon, and keep them happy until they leave. They do this by completing tasks (serving different drinks, cleaning up, repairing damage) until the round timer is up. Upon completion of the tasks, the player will be awarded points based on how fast they are done. These points will be added together and a total score is calculated with each round’s completion.

However, if the customers may turn hostile towards the player and start shooting at them for a variety of reasons (they don't get served fast enough, their drink gets knocked over, they get captured by other hostile customers, etc). They will then start to shoot at the player and cause issues around the saloon until they are shot by the player.
Each successive round will increase in difficulty, introducing more customer types, shorter windows to complete each task. Completion of the game is achieved when each round has been completed.

The game is currently in an alpha state using placeholder art. We would love to hear from you and look forward to working with you!
