   Graphic Artist Wanted
  Hello,We are working on a very promising video game project and could use a talented graphic artist, preferably someone who has a little experience creating video game graphics. Some experience doing 3D work would be great too.  We need an artist that can do menus, background scenery, parallax background layers, and/or animated sprites. If you are an expert in one of these areas, please contact me.  Now that the graphical requirements are out of the way, here is what we have to offer the dedicated artist(s) in return. The game we are working on is a 2D side-scroller. It is a comedy with a great plot, and excellent design. We currently have a fully functional side scrolling 2D engine, and a working demo that is quite playable, complete with interactive sprites. The game engine is totally original and written in straight C for extra efficiency. We have sound support, animated sprite support, and great game play, all working in the Demo. We have an excellent plot and story ready to roll.  The game has been written for the Sony PSP.  If you have a PSP, that's great, if not, we could still use your help.We plan to release the game for free on the internet.  The source code will be open source also.  Since the majority of the code is written in SDL, it should be easy to port this game to the PC as well.If you are interested in helping create graphics for what we think will be the best original PSP homebrew game EVER, send me an email or contact me via AIM Instant Messenger. I will gladly provide you with any information you like concerning the game itself, the plot, and if you have a PSP, the demo!GarakAIM: Garak2000Email: garak@cashette.comHad this all ready to go and forgot to paste it in!Team name:LBGProject name: Mega-Mart or: How I learned to Stop Living in Poverty and Love CorporationsBrief description:2D sidescroller, comedy, cartoonish graphics like those seen on Family Guy/Futurama, etc...Target aim:Freeware, will be breakthrough game in the PSP Homebrew SceneCompensation:No revenue expected, just credit for developing your very own game.

  What type of characters are there? And are you just looking for one artist to do all graphics, or will there be a few?   ;  Hello, The hero is a small boy age 11/13.  There will also be adult characters modeled after employees seen at a Wal-Mart/target/Best Buy type retail store.  Since the action takes place in a department store/grocery store setting, the characters will be modeled after the people you expect to see in such places.  I would like the characters to have strong profiles (like all the characters do in the TV show Futurerama) since this is a side-scroller.  As for the number of artists, it really does not matter.  If 1 person can do it all that is great.  If you are an artist and 1 particular area interests you, then contact me and you can work on that.  However, I do have the engine working, so I would like several artists to work in parallel, but hey, I will take what I can get.GarakAIM: Garak2000Email: garak@cashette.com;  Since your game is homebrew, do we need to crack our psp systems or can we just drop it on the memory stick and activate it from there like we can with the update packages etc.?Just my 2 pence.   ;  If you have a PSP with firmware <= 1.5, you can simply drop the game on your memory stick and play.  If you have 2.0+, you can do a search on the many PSP related web sites for instructions on how you might be able to get the game to run.Garak;  I'll make a few character sketches sometime next week, and see if you like them. I am looking for a full time job currently, though, so I cannot be a sole artist for an entire game. But I'm willing to help out a bit,if you like what you see.
