   Concept/Design Artist Wanted
Brief description: This is a self-improvement project. I am a CS major in school and hobbyist game programmer. After spending hours of hacking code for school and projects, I like to take some days off and work on a few other things. I've been working on doing character/level modeling using Alias Maya LE to get me looking at something aside from an IDE and code. While i am getting better at modeling, i lack the ability/creativity to draw/design characters or levels to model. What I'd like is anyone who does some of this artwork and is willing to volunteer their work to allow me to use their artwork and try to create a 3dimensional model of it. I don't want it to be just using your work and making what i think it should look like. I'd like to stay in contact and send you my work to receive feedback concerning how you think it looks and if something doesn't look the way you'd imagine it would. Keep in mind though that I am technically a programmer and this is just another skill I'd like to learn, however i think this would be a great way to practice and get better.Target aim:  Because this is a collaborative concept, I wouldn't dream of using anything commercially, including any models i create, without having the artist's consent. At most, i'd probably just ask if the artist would object to me including my model and their reference sketches in my portfolio to.Compensation: This is strictly a self-improvement project, so no commercial gain is intended to be achieved.Talent needed:I'd like a 2D artist who can provide multiple sketches of a character from various angles. Also, if you like to imagine and create landscape/environment artwork, this would also be an area i could practice on.Website: None so far, though after given permission by artists i may put one up as an online portfolio and to use to allow others to follow my progress on projects I'm working on.Contacts:Email me any artwork as well as comments as to how you'd imagine your artwork would appear in a 3D setting and let me know how involved you'd like to be with the growth of your 2D artwork into a 3D model.scrypterdelaney@gmail.comFeedback:ANY   
  Hi there, I'd be willing to send you something that I worked on for another game - something I was promised payment for and never received.  As far as designing something from the ground up... well, I could rant, but I ain't gonna put you through that.  In a nutshell it takes a lot of time and effort to create quality artwork, to ask someone to that for free - well, it's not what I agree with. :)Let me know if you're interested, here's my dA page, I got something in mind from it that you could use.http://seothen.deviantart.com/   ;  Thanks for the reply. I actually went to class the day after my post and found someone who is studying graphic design and does some concept art for fun on the side. Seems my need was met the day i asked for help.
