   4X title, looking for 2D artist
Project name:Blue Dot, Black VoidBrief description:This project is a 4X space game under development since February. It is currently a one-man project but I am now looking to add an artist and eventually an audio person. I maintain a running developer blog at http://bluedotblackvoid.blogspot.com for those that would like more information as to the scope and progress of the project. Realistically, I am looking at another year of development and testing. I understand that first impressions are important, so I am willing to spend the time necessary to release a polished product.Target aim:Target is retail, but distribution issues will need to be worked out. Compensation:I am not expecting charity work. The artist will be compensated, of course. The amount will need to be discussed, based on the scope of his project.Technology:The application is being developed in Java to provide cross-platform support.Talent needed:I need 2D artwork covering the following:-- space ships in particular themes and sizes-- alien caricatures (upper half or 3/4 is preferred)I may opt for the following later:-- splash screens-- animated introTeam structure:This project is currently a team of one. I am doing all of the software development -- game structures, AI, visual layout, etc.Ray Fowler - software developerWebsite:The developer blog is at http://bluedotblackvoid.blogspot.comContacts:ray.fowler.email@gmail.comPrevious Work by Team:Almost 20 years of professional software development, but none within the game industry.Additional Info:I am looking forward to working with a talented artist.
