Looking for Pixel Artist

Good news, everyone!

It is my sincere hope that you read that with the voice of our dear Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth in your head.

Now, onto real matters.

I am in need of a pixel artist. This artist will create all art-work for my newest game. This includes all sprites for the characters, HUD, tilemaps, and whatever else is required.

This artist will also receive 50% of the money earned through sponsorship and ads (should I decide to put ads in the final game). Although be aware that I cannot guarantee that we will 100% for sure receive a sponsorship (but I believe that we will easily find a sponsor).

In order to gain the favor of you brilliant artists I will present to you a demo of the engine I have created to make this game possible*.

Now I have shown you what I can do, so please show me what YOU can do! I want to see previous sprites you have made (animated ones would also be nice), any tile sets, any games you have sprited for, etc..

I WILL NOT EVEN CONSIDER anybody that has not given me any examples of their artwork. (You can always PM those to me if you don't want the public to see them).

Also, please not, although the main character (as in the robot you move around) IS a robot this is NOT for Robot Day! Although it would be nice to get it done by then, I doubt there is enough time.

Leave a comment, PM me, or e-mail me (ian@wurmy.com) if you have any questions.

Thanks!
Wurmy

* I am not talking about Flixel, I am talking about the engine I made which is built on top of Flixel (v 2.35). The engine I made is specific for this game, and allows me to easily create new levels, with all sorts of devices and game-play mechanics (such as doors with keys, enemies, bosses, hooks, crumbling platforms, etc...) with some "simple" code.

Whats wrong with the art you already have?

Wurmy 2010-07-01 22:18:15 (Updated 2010-07-01 22:31:53)

Well that is my art, and personally I think it is not that great. It would be nice to get a proper artist to create some real awesome art :)

Plus there is still a lot of coding to do. Also nice to split up the work.

I can't help you with the artwork, but if you want to use another one of my songs (probably not, I'm amazed you used the first song )just feel free to do so!

Wurmy 2010-07-01 22:26:21

Well if I happen to think any of your music fits the game then perhaps I will use it.. although I have yet to listen to it :p

Wurmy 2010-07-01 22:56:43

Oho, thank you sir. I will take a look see.

Redfeather 2010-07-01 23:14:51

lemonade is delicious mmm

MantiSlayer 2010-07-01 23:46:46

I use Microsoft Paint, but I'm not really that great. I CAN draw, but I don't think I can match up to something like this...

Wurmy 2010-07-01 23:46:46

Well truth be told, I also used MS Paint to make all my graphics (and then Photoshop to make them transparent). So long as the art is good, the tools used don't matter.

Luis 2010-07-02 00:10:56

I could be interested. but itd have to be after robot day

Wurmy 2010-07-02 00:10:56

Well, I am in no hurry to finish this game (Although I would like to finish it before the end of summer) so I can wait. However if another artist pops up first then I'll probably go with them :p

Here's an example of my work:

I don't have time at the moment though, but I might be interested.

CloudEater 2010-07-02 03:18:37

Hey Kinsei! I was going to tell him to talk to Gumby... well what about <a href="http://tiffany-mitsukai.newgrounds.com/">http://tiffany-mitsukai.newgrounds.co m/</a> she does pixel art.

Taijj 2010-07-02 06:47:48

Oi, I could offer my style of pixelart.
Check this: <a href="http://www.Taijj.deviantart.com">www.Taijj.deviantart.com</a> if you want to see some of my animations.

JonBro 2010-07-02 11:15:14

I personally find the grassy platforms and pipes in your screenshot to look quite nice. I really like the color scheme.
It looks like an interesting concept but very rarely do I collaborate with someone and finish what I've started, which is why I'm slowly working on something by myself right now :(

Wurmy 2010-07-02 11:15:14

Thank yews. I'm relatively happy with the art I have right now, but I seem unable to create more pixel art.. plus I just don't care much for the art side of games, I'd rather focus on the programming.

TurkeyOnAStick 2010-07-02 13:06:22

Best of luck.
But yeah, see if HaveGum is interested.

simi686 2010-07-02 14:51:41

I'm up for this. I may do some decent or below decent work (MS paint sucks balls for art XD) but i can step it up no problem. Fire me off a PM if your interested.

I predicted what you want and already made it, so you can close your casting kthx

Wurmy 2010-07-02 17:59:58

I'd hire you but that would be too easy.

Magical-Zorse 2010-07-09 21:48:15

pixel games are cool

Wurmy 2010-07-09 21:48:15
