I have a very viable secret project I have been working on most of the engine is done but I want to find someone to draw up some ideas for the art work. I already have a modeller but he wont do any 2d work so if you know anyone could you let me know?

Mind throwing up some examples of work, so this does not get locked or something.

It depends on what style your going for, I mean if it's a popular theme then the chances are that there are fans out there drawing it.

Don't expect a non-fan of the genre to work for free, and don't expect a non-pro to understand how to draw good concept art straight away.


less is more, but if less is more how you keeping score?

Just get that kid from school who is amazing at drawing to do it
if you dont go to school, or there is no amazing artists (which there usually is at least one) then i suggest you pick it up youreself.


This is my WIP, not even ready for a WIP thread yet though.http://smallgroupproductions.com/

You've come to the right place... But Im not doing anything for free right now. If you're actually considering payment then Ill find some of my work and link you to it. Are you considering payment?

Now, this isn't my job, so I wouldn't be charging through the roof, just a little extra spending cash for the movies or something.

I've been trying to get good at painting concept art myself so that I can do it for my own games. I'm inspired by things like this:
http://www.conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?t=65380

So far I've been just trying to follow along with this vid:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=QI_wSVMxFQk&feature=related

using PSP 9. This is my pretty crappy (at least compared to the original) progress so far:


but there's no way I'd be able to to something like that without a picture to copy.

Alright well heres a quick video I put together. Id tell you its definitely not my best work, but I cant find my USB with my portfolio on it right now to back that up.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OEZCkl0UW-c

I use Photoshop CS and Macromedia Flash for my 2D graphics.

If modeling is required, I use Wings 3D and 3DS Max to model, uv map, rig and animate, and if necessary ZBrush at my brother's house to normal map.

So yeah, I can do a lot better than whats in that video, but take that for whatever you want. If you're interested let me know and we'll talk price, wont be anything too big, probably under $100 unless you want a tonne of art. If not, no skin off my back.

Feel free to email me at adam (dot) eisfeld (at) gmail (dot) com

<edit>

Also want to mention Im good at organics and maps, but I specialize in map design / layout.
