I'm wondering if someone can create some sprites for my game I'm looking for about 16 in total can someone help

You should probably offer more detail if you want anyone to help… people will probably want to know things like:

  • What art style/medium are you looking for?
  • What genre of game, or at least what sort of projection is everything supposed to be drawn in?
  • Do these sprites need animation? Is it 16 still images, 16 animations, 16 characters worth of images? (The latter of which could wind up being way more than 16 sprites total)

Writing about the game itself would probably also help people decide if they want to help as well… in general, the more you share the more likely someone might help. If the request is too vague a lot of folks will avoid it since they don’t know if they can even complete it, much less what sort of workload is being asked for.

Typically it is a good idea to first design and program your game using free generic sprites. Once you have the bulk of the game design figured out, then you find an artist to create custom sprites. This way, you know exactly what you need and want for your game. There are plenty of free sprite packs available on itch.io that you can use when your are first designing your game. If you have already gotten the game design and programming done, it would be a good idea to include a link to it when trying to find artists 

hmm do you have discord?
