Hi all,
Some of you may have seen BattleMage, my latest submission for Armor Games (www.armorgames.com). One of the biggest complaints was my artwork, which I anticipated; I'm a programmer, not an artist.
THE BASIC IDEA
While I will be holding a 'contest' for an artist for BattleMage II in the semi-near future, this 'contest' involves a fairly simple game I've made for Valentine's Day.
The game itself is 90% finished, and additions may be made based on the artist's ability and willingness. There are certainly possibilities for expansion that have been suggested to me. I'm keeping the basic gameplay idea under wraps for now, but any artists with decent submissions who want more info will get their questions answered. I just don't want to explain in detail the entire game scheme.
Essentially, I need around 6-10 pieces of *original* artwork in Flash that can be used to replace the simple shapes I am using now, and to add backgrounds, etc.
THE PERKS
The artist who 'wins', and helps me with the artwork, will recieve 50% of any cash or prizes resulting from the entry. Obviously, they will be credited for the work as well.
THE CONTEST
Draw an overhead view of a Cupid, limits are 32x32 pixels. A still shot is fine, but unerstand the wings will have to be animated for the actual game. Image MUST be original artwork by the artist. Simply post your image, or a link to it, here in this thread.
The timeframe is 2 weeks, but I will probably review and choose someone within 1 because of time issues (game must be completed by 2/10). Also, any artists here will be given added consideration for BattleMage II artwork, and Armor Games has discussed the possibility of a budget for that project, so if you're a good artist and have some free time this is an opportunity to make some spending money.
Thanks, good luck to all, and I look forward to seeing your artwork!
Any questions or comments about the contest can be posted here.
