We're looking for a Pixel artist, old school Amiga style stuff / gothic style / leander /shadow of the beast would be ideal.

Email me via the board or post examples.

Thanks,

Craig
 
Could you post some links to specific styles you might want? I'm not familiar with these games, and I never played the amiga. :\ (Plan to once I get the pandora *wink*)

There's probably only so many pixel artists who read this board. You should either post in tin deviantart.com forums or much better yet browse for pixel art on deviantART and send a note to the one artists you think would fit the bill.

May I suggest you offer them some reasonable compensation? Usually people don't like to do stuff for free when they don't care much about what you're trying to achieve.

I'm pretty sure thats a given and they just don't want to post the specifics.

Head on over to http://pixelation.wayofthepixel.net, some of the best pixel artists around are here :). Just so ya know, some of the folks there worked on the latest Contra game for the gameboy advance or whatever.

They even have an employment section ;).

Anyhows I also do some pixel art, but I'm no pro like some of the folks on that forum.

edit
BTW, I don't think Shadow of the Beast had that good pixel art, seemed to have a bit of pillow shading or whatever, but I dunno. Hmm, Shadow of the Beast was actually featured on a commercial critique section of the pixelation forum, but I forget what was said about it.

another edit
I just tried to go to the pixelation website, but it seems to be down? which I think is strange, I was on it just the other day. Hopefully it's only temporary, it will be sad if it's gone :\.

and another
BTW, what is it ya want done? maybe I can be of help? you can check some of my pixel art on my website. But yea, I haven't done anything big before so I dunno.

And my second question is: Do you want someone to make singular sprites or pixel art, or are you looking for someone who will make whole sprite sheets for you?

They look slick, but do they look of pixels ;).
Actually, they're svg. Can be converted to pixmaps of any size or used as they are.

That wasn't my point :p, pixel art actually looks different as thought goes into every pixel placed ;). Hmm, well pixel art can look however ya want as you can control the style very much or whatever, I dunno what to say really, hehe.

Also with pixel art great use is made of color, as usually you work with a very low number of colors and this brings a certain charm or something. But yea, you know when something is pixelled and when it isn't (generally by looking for computed AA, and looking at the number of colors used :p). Hmm, well at least people who do alot of pixeling or whatever do, hehe.
