Forums → Art, Music, and Writing → Coder looking for artist to team up with

Hi all,

I've got two ideas for a game on which I like to have the cooperation of an artist. I'll try to have a designdocument ready for them this weekend, but I can't promise that. Examples of my work can be found here.
(Dawn of the Hulker and Marshmellow can be found on that page)

IDEA 1

A sequel to Dawn of the Hulker. That's basicly it really. Ofcourse I have quite a few changes in mind, but I want to leave those open for discussion. Dawn of the Hulker gives a good impression of the core gameplay that I have in mind, but I'd like to focus on smaller fleets of bigger customizable ships and more of a narrative.

IDEA 2

Dubbed "Big Effing Robots" for the time bieng. The premise is a city with skycrapers in which big robots will fight. Think Titan Maximum, including the taunts, and you got the idea. The Robots will be able to do melee combat (punch, kick, slice, throw etc) as well as fire projectile weapons. In the process they will annihilate the cityscape as well as any news helicopters or army vehicles, and (while they're at it) each other.

The player can choose between several robots, which determines the weapon loadout (only projectile weapons, a sword, big metal fists etc) and the moves avaible. These robots can be upgraded with more powerfull ammo, armor, higher jump, faster running, etc.

I will adapt the engine which I coded for Marshmellow for this project as it already has the mechanics needed for the city destruction and shooting in place. Just imagine the trees to be skyscrapers and the robots to be 2x2 tiles big.

WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR

An artist obviously, but to be more specific

Prerequisites:
- Any kind of style. If you can make it work for the theme I consider it quality work
- Sprites

Pro's:
- Game design (big pro actually)
- GUI design
- Experience with subversion repositories
- Writing skill
- Sound editing

INTERESTED?

- Show me some previous work. Preferably animated spriting, but if you show something like 3D art, or reference art, than I can understand you can easily convert these to sprites.
- Give some feedback on either idea 1 or idea 2.

Production on this project will not start untill june. First because I've not finished Marshmellow yet. Second because I'd like to throw ideas around with my partner(s) and then start on OUR game. The game will have the branding of you, VipeGames and the possible sponsor. All income will be split 50/50.
