Not sure where to begin! (on the forums)

Well, I’ve just recently joined the forums, however instantly noticed it lacks the “Welcome” section or anything like that for new people to say hello and ask their starting questions, so I guess I’ll just do it here.

I joined the forum because I’m working on an multiplayer game in Java, and I’m in need of 2D Graphical artists, because my programming art isn’t going to cut it. We’re talking stick figures and Tiles made in paint. So, I’m curious where I should post to recruit a Graphical Artist that’s willing to help me out.

Welcome to the forums!
Post your question here:
Business and Project Discussions
Just be aware we don’t have too many artists here that I know of!

I would start by making a project page with videos and demos(if available) in the WIP(WorkInProgress) section. Then people will be able to support your project and you can post updates. Its a great way to gain community support. Also you should learn the appreciation system to reward helpful posters. :wink:

OP, make sure you don’t ask for artists in the WIP section though! Its for projects that are a work in progress only.

I should have made that clear. :clue:
A WIP page must meet certain requirements, and you shouldnt post just anything on there. Furthermore, its one thread per project,so be carefull!
Here is the WIP rule page, http://www.java-gaming.org/topics/wip-board-rules/27385/view.html

Welcome to the forums. I am a pixel artist and an artist in general. I can help you with your art for a monetary reward or for private programming lessons. I am a computer science major at my local university, but I have surpassed my class and I am looking for help with more advanced topics. Regardless, welcome to the forums, there are a bunch of great people here!

Cheers!
