Hi all — I'm a solo dev finishing SimPoker, a poker-room management/tycoon sim (think Game Dev Tycoon / Two Point energy, but you run a casino poker room — lay out tables, manage staff, attract regulars and whales, grow your empire). The game is built and playable; it's already set up for a Steam playtest. What it doesn't have yet is art that sells it.

Right now all the art is procedurally generated (isometric/voxel-style tables, chips, slots, and chunky pixel-style characters). It's functional and consistent, but it reads a little generic, and I want a real artist to give the game its own identity before launch. My budget is around $500.

I'm looking to hire for a full art redo — in-game art AND Steam store art. I'm open on direction: I'd rather hear your interpretation than hand you a rigid brief. Tell me what you'd do with a colorful, lively poker-room sim.

What the game looks like now

Isometric / 2:1 perspective floor view Bright, flat, saturated "casino" color palette (I like rich, lively color — not muddy realism) Items: poker tables, slot machines, chip stacks, signage, decor (~50 object types) Characters: stylized, currently faceless/chunky guests and staff with lots of variety (outfits, hats, hair, body types) UI with a maroon/emerald + serif-display theme

Scope I want quotes on (per-deliverable is fine)

In-game:

Core object/item set — tables, slots, chips, signage, props (style sheet + the full set) Character art — guests and staff, modular/variant-friendly (the game mixes outfits/hats/etc. per character) Tileset / floor & wall environment art A reusable style guide so I can keep things consistent as I add content

Steam store / marketing ("the stuff I actually need to launch"): 5. Capsule images — Steam needs several sizes: Small (231×87), Header (460×215), Main/large (616×353), Vertical (374×448), Page background, and the Library assets (Library capsule 600×900, Library hero 3840×1240, Library logo) 6. Key art / promo illustration (usable for the page, trailer thumbnail, and social) 7. A game logo / wordmark 8. Help making the screenshots look polished and on-brand (optional)

Logistics

Paid. I'd like per-deliverable quotes (or per-bundle) rather than a lump sum — quote the pieces you'd take on. Happy to discuss rate, milestones, and timeline over DM. This could be a one-off (store art only) or an ongoing relationship if it's a good fit — I'll keep adding content post-launch. Commercial use, with a simple work-for-hire / license agreement. Credit in-game and on the store page.

To apply

Please reply or DM with:

Your portfolio (especially game art, isometric/stylized work, or Steam capsules if you've done them) Which deliverables above you'd want to take and a rough quote for each Rough availability / timeline Anything you'd change about the current look (genuinely curious)

Thanks! Happy to share a build, screenshots, and gifs with anyone interested.
