🎨 Volunteer 2D Artist / Animator / Illustrator

Are you a passionate 2D artist, animator, or illustrator with a flair for quirky, hand-drawn cartoonish art? Love the vibe of retro puzzle games and weird-funny fantasy settings? We’re looking for talented creatives to join our volunteer team and help define the visual identity of a brand-new indie puzzle experience!

🧩 About the Project

We’re crafting a humorous, puzzle-driven game with a bold 2D, hand-drawn cartoon aesthetic. Think: medieval fantasy meets disco, wrapped in the sharp, minimalist style of 90s animation.
