Wanted: Sprite artist

[Lanny]

So this is probably a bit of a longshot but I'm looking for one or more sprite artists for a side-project game I've been working on. It's an isometric RPG, same general idea as Final Fantasy Tactics. Here's a demo to give you and idea of that it is(arrow keys to move cursor, enter to move, space to attack while facing something attackable (yes, minecraft isn't the only game where you can punch trees!)). So far I've been working with only my crappy sprites and a sheet I found somewhere in the web. It doesn't look like much, but I have the better part of the game engine pinned down at this point, so that leaves the design of the game mechanic and sprites.

Can't pay because I'm broke , but I will stick your name in credits. Also if you need any one-off programming work done I'm a good person to be owed a favor by.

Can't do it personally but I know someone I'll link this thread to. I dunno if he does work without pay though, since he's unemployed anyways but it won't hurt to try.

What I'm working with right now is tiles at 47x30 and sprites at 32x58. These numbers mean nothing and aren't hardcoded into the game, just what I've been working with. It'd be trivial to change those if a particular artist wanted something different. Also I spent some time on auto-balancing sprites so over/undersized sprites display without no additional code or work, just as long as they don't cause clipping issues.

What? It's not mine, it's like sprites from old 8 bit video games dude. I made comics when I was around 10, and had just found 8-bit theatre.

Hold your horses, I didn't say I wasn't looking for a summer project, and I didn't say I wasn't an artist. How hard is it to make a sprite?


Edit: I'll have some up by the end of June. Shit is just point and click wtf? Soez.

[ThaTermeneter]

hes still interested, do not dismiss him so fast

Well it takes a certain kinda person to do sprites well, but if it doesn't bore you to tears than I'd love to see what you've got, I'm no perfectionist. I've listed my working dimensions in this thread, if you have any questions or want to know the particulars about the engine the sprites will be running on let me know. Priority #1 for me right now is two sprite with walk cycles and basic attack animations. Walk cycles should be 4 or more frames long, attacks 3 or more, although 4 or more is preferred.
