Pixel Artists

Hi guys,

I am making this post because I have ran into several dead ends in locating some pixel artists. My first attempt was to talk to all of my friends to see if they would help me out (for a reasonable amount of money, one guy wanted $50,000 a year for 100 characters, lols), but that did not work. My second attempt was to have my friends talk to their friends and see if they could find someone else. That failed! I then posted on several other message boards I am a member of and that turned up to be dry.

So, perhaps I can have some luck here:

does anyone know of any sites that have free lance pixel artists or if any pixel artists browser these boards would be interested in assisting me in making art for my 2D online MMO role playing game?

I found some sites for pixel art howto’s but nothing for freelance artists.

If anyone is interested, please reply or send me an email at:

Thanks!!
day

This should belong in the Jobs Board of Volunteer Projects forum.

You’re asking for someone who can do the art for your game for free? :slight_smile: I doubt you’ll find that person in here, since we’re probably all programmers and not so much graphic artists, and we’ve most likely dried up that little pool of artists a long time ago.

Btw. it won’t hurt having some concepts, some ideas about the art, and it’s always attractive to artists to have some game actually working and running! If you’re gonna pay, then you could go to some artists forums, I’m sure there are some there interested. I don’t know of any, hopefully someone will give you a link or you can Google for some.

Thanks for your reply!

I have all intentions to pay these artists, nor did I have any intentions of getting an artist from this site because, as you said: we are all programmers. I was at first going to post an ad for artists in the job section but that wouldn’t work as…we are all programmers! So I am instead posting up for some good sites! I can’t seem to find any good ones. Maybe I am just googling for the wrong terms. I do have the game up and running and a lot of information but that wouldn’t be helpful here to post up. :slight_smile:

Thank you!
