Hello! My name is Kyle McArthur, and I am a professional pixel artist, game designer, and writer seeking paid work. I know this forum is about game art, but I figured I would mention my other skills as well in case you are looking for that triple threat developer to add to your team. If you are indeed someone looking to hire for any of those skill sets, then congratulations, you're in the right place! I'm seeking part time, full time, commission, or contract work (big or small). Sorry, I am not interested in solely rev-share projects at this time.
Some quick facts: I have 9+ years experience as a writer, 4+ years as a game designer, and 3+ years as a pixel artist / animator. I've had 5 of my theatrical plays put on stage, I've worked on several of both professional and hobby games, and I absolutely love what I do.
