A 2D animated adventurer walking a cliff path at golden hour

2D assets & animation

Built to play. Built to move.

Sprites, icons, tiles, UI, then the cutscene. 2D and 2D anime for games — generated on Grok Imagine, finished in Harmony, Photoshop, and DaVinci Resolve.

What a game actually needs

Not a mood board. Files an engine can ingest — keyed, packed, and consistent across a set.

Sprites & cycles

Isolated characters, turnarounds, and loopable idle / walk / run / attack — 2D or anime.

Icons & pickups

One style contract across the set. Legible at 32px. No mixed treatments.

Tiles & UI

Seamless terrain, 9-slice panels, HUD frames with no type so you can localize.

Cutscenes

The same characters, animated. Spots and trailers when the game has to sell itself.

Asset showcase

Original work from this studio. Sprites are keyed. UI has no type. Items share a palette.

Character sprite

Isolated, engine-ready

Anime sprite

Same kit, heavier frames

Painterly 2D inventory items: sword, shield, potion, key, gem, coin — Item art

Icons & pickups

2D tileset diorama of grass, path, stone, and river — Tileset

Terrain you can walk

Fantasy 2D UI panel and HUD frame with no text — UI / HUD

9-slice, no type

Painterly 2D character close-up for cutscenes — Cutscene still

Then we animate it

Grok Imagine 2.0 at $0.08 / 2K image. Video 1.5 at $0.25 / second of 1080p. We bake retries into the quote so the number you see is the number you pay.

The math

What a Sprite Kit actually burns

API units first. Then eight hours to key, pack, and ship. That is why $1,200 is not a race to the bottom — it is compute plus a real finish.

Imagine 2K image: $0.08
1080p video / sec: $0.25
Compute (w/ retries): $14.93
Studio finish: $680
Cost to us: $695
You pay (2D): $1,200

Retries at ~2.5× on stills and ~1.8× on video. Grok 4.6 direction is billed per token ($2 / $6 per million in/out) and is a rounding error next to the pictures.

Harmony & Clip Studio. Cleanup, keys, sheets. Anime gets the extra frames.
Photoshop / After Effects. Keying, packing, VFX, titles.
Engine pack. Unity, Godot, Unreal — or a zip of PNGs, JSON, and a glTF-free 2D atlas.

3D Assets & Animation

Questions

Both. The core product is game-ready 2D assets — sprites, icons, tiles, UI — plus cutscenes and spots when the game needs motion. Same pipeline, different deliverable.

From Grok Imagine API units: $0.08 per 2K image, $0.25 per second of 1080p video, plus retries and a Grok 4.6 art-direction pass. Then studio hours to key, pack, and finish in Harmony, Photoshop, and Resolve. The math is on this page.

One character: turnaround, four animation cycles (idle, walk, run, attack), eight inventory icons, keyed PNGs and a packed spritesheet. Anime kits use a heavier frame count.

2D Animation is painterly / Harmony-rigged, built for Western games and brand films. 2D Anime is frame-heavier with cinematic lighting — more keys, more video seconds, higher token burn.

Yes. Isolated sprites on a keyable background, spritesheets without divider lines, 9-slice UI, and tileables verified in a 2×2. Unity, Godot, and Unreal import packs on request.
