   [FILLED] Cover/Poster artist for space shoot-em-up game
  EDIT: the position has been filled.  Thank you for your consideration!Team name:Deadly Red CubeProject name:ProcyonBrief description:Procyon has been in development for about 2 years now, with about 6 months to go.  It's a space shooter, similar to games like Gradius/Darius Twin, in which you (and a friend) control a ship on-screen and try to destroy an attacking alien force!Target aim:Retail: XBox Live Indie GamesCompensation:This is a paid contract position.  Please quote me what you think is a fair price.  Pricing structure is flexible, but one option is:  50% of contract price when a design is agreed upon  50% upon completion of final artwork.Technology:Development using XNA.Talent needed:Cover/Poster artistCurrently, the temporary cover art that I have for the game is rather...plain:It's something that got slapped together in 10 minutes from elements of the title screen.  Somewhat boring.  Honestly, it's the best that I could do.However, for the game's release I would like a cover that is dynamic, exciting, and eye-catching!  XNA Cover art has to look good at 584x700 resolution, as well as about half of that.  Additionally, it would be nice to have a piece of artwork for the game that would work at full movie poster size for promotional reasons, so I wouldn't mind having a bid for something along those lines, as well.Team structure:Deadly Red Cube is a single person team.  All of the coding, design, art, and music thus-far have been done by me.Website:deadlyredcube.com - work-in-progressdrilian.com - development blog.Contacts:Please contact me with bids.  It would also be nice to see a sampling of your other works.  josh@deadlyredcube.comPrevious Work by Team:Mop of Destiny - The Gamedev.net Four Elements V contest winner.

  I am impressed. This is an awesome project, and its all done by you alone, nice. I haven't seen any side scroller shooters like this in a while. In particular, that orange lightning attack looks really neat.If I wasn't so busy, I would love to give that poster a shot...   ;  Yeah, that looks really nice! But I would suggest you to redesign some things, like the model of the player´s ship and maybe even the alien-ship models. Don´t get me wrong, but take a look at some spaceship models out there, they´re looking pretty awesome. And that will affect your audience´s decision to whether grab your game or not pretty much - if you ask me.I could do some small artwork with modified shipmodels, maybe you like them!   ;Quote:Original post by qCringYeah, that looks really nice!

They may be simple, but I feel like they have a good amount of character.Anyway, someone is lined up to do the artwork for me.  Thank you, everyone!
