Okay awesome. I hadn't clicked on the external links besides what the job descriptions were and I hadn't noticed in the post of it was stated. :)

I'm pondering applying for pixelist because I technically have some experience. I haven't tried pixeling a voltra item before to mimic the style so gonna see how I do trying that out and apply if I think I'm good enough. :)

I have a couple of questions about the Pixelist position!

1. Are the pixel item examples for the application to drawn in just grey-scale, or gradient mapped?
2. What is a good example of a deadline for a common item versus an item with more than one pose?

@Shadami: From my experience, that .grd file only works with Photoshop, but I've just made a version for non-PS available.

Krita, GNU Imp, and I'm pretty sure Clip Studio Paint support gradient maps.
I had to convert the gradient map PSD to a file type that Krita supports, though.

(PS: Should I send that file to one of the admins so people who use Krita can use those gradient maps?)

i can open psd and save as PSD in clip studio paint. so your program may support PSD files.
