Hand-Crafted Pixel Art Services
Pixel art is a discipline of constraints: limited palettes, tight canvases, and every single pixel doing a job. Raijin's pixel artists design characters, animate sprite sheets, build tilesets, and paint full scenes for platformers, RPGs, simulation and tycoon games, roguelikes, and Web3 collectibles. We work at your native resolution, keep palettes consistent across the whole game, and deliver engine-ready assets that stay sharp from a phone screen to a 4K monitor.
What We Deliver
- Native-resolution art with clean outlines and deliberate anti-aliasing
- Frame-by-frame sprite animation — idle, run, attack, cast, death
- Tilesets and autotile rules for Unity, Godot, GameMaker & Tiled
- Side-view, top-down, and isometric perspectives
- Parallax backgrounds, key art, and marketing banners
- Locked palettes and style guides for consistent production

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before getting started
A single character sprite typically ranges from $50–$300 depending on size and detail, and full animation sets are priced per frame. A complete tileset runs from $500–$3,000, and detailed full scenes from $300–$1,500. We quote per asset or per project after reviewing your scope.
It depends on your game's camera and target screens. 16×16 and 32×32 work well for top-down RPGs and roguelikes, 48–64px for detailed platformer heroes, and HD pixel art for scenes and key art. We help you pick a base resolution that scales cleanly to 720p, 1080p, and 4K.
Yes. All our pixel animation is frame-by-frame: idle, walk, run, jump, attack, cast, hurt, and death cycles, plus VFX like fire, water, and magic. We deliver packed sprite sheets with frame data for your engine.
Absolutely. We study your palette, outline rules, and shading approach, then deliver a style-match test asset before full production so new art sits seamlessly beside your existing sprites.
Yes. We create isometric buildings, interiors, characters, and props for simulation, tycoon, and strategy games, built on a consistent 2:1 grid so everything snaps together in-engine.
Native Aseprite (.ase) and layered PSD source files, PNG sprite sheets with JSON atlas data, individual frames, GIF/MP4 previews, and tile rule setups for Unity, Godot, GameMaker, or Tiled.
