A fast, easy to use, free, and community supported 2D game engine
Hi guys! I'm in need of someone that can do character art! I will basically have 4 classes of characters to start out with: Warrior, Mage, Rogue, Priest. I need character art for each class, including their necessary animation states. I don't currently have any artistic style defined, so you would have a lot of freedom.
If you are interested, please let me know!
Thanks,
sunsu
Hello
I'm an experienced game artist (2D/3D).
Take a look at my online portfolio and let me know if I might match the style your looking for.

I highly highly recommend working with Shane Peterson http://www.petersonstudios.net/ He is amazingly talented and has more experience then anyone on these forums - he is also super cool and a good human being. Super easy to work with.

I am sorry you took this offensively. To date I have not seen anyone on the forums whose art or experience credentials and resume as an artist in the professional gaming industry come close. This was not meant to offend you at all it was a recommendation to a proven reliable and capable artist with a tremendous resume and enough talent you could drop the big names on the resume and understand.
This is why forums need to be updated to ones like stackoverflow where people qre kind and give the benefit of the doubt a person is trying to lead others to a source for help.

PS art is subjective I know this. And I have been on these forums since they started. I changed my account. PS I have also hired people from the site claiming to be experts who could not complete the task - they have been on the site for a long time - this has nothing to do with their capability to get the job done right. I assume you agree that the amount of time on the forum is not a measure of a person's skill level right? You must be to agree with this statement right?
@TouchGameDev : my apologies - my statement _was_ overly harsh ...
And you do make good points about skill levels :) I also appreciate your measured response, rather than fanning the flames!

But I think it is offensive to say "and has more experience then anyone on these forums", at least without evidence that supports it.

My apologies to you Riq. I meant no offense. It's getting tough being hammered as this just happened a minute ago on another post. I am thinking don't tell people about how one individual on this forum (and aerostat this has nothing to do with you at all ) screws people and takes their code and IP yet they are posted here all the time as a source. That feels awful - as a member of the AIGA and their code of Ethics I would have to report this - but here I wouldn't know where to begin who to tell or why bother I figure keep my mouth quiet and let Karma do the other work for me. SO please understand I was in no way trying to antagonize or offend anyone. I happen to be well known for my photography when I have a show some people like it some people hate it - it really doesn't matter it's their opinion and I am grateful they took the time out of their busy day to even look at the work.
Aerostat please do be in touch - I went to your website and would love to email with you and talk about projects.
I totally agree in your "art is subjective" comment, as such, my views here are just that, personal opinion, but I do disagree with:
"To date I have not seen anyone on the forums whose art or experience credentials and resume as an artist in the professional gaming industry come close"
Theres some amazing artwork showcased in cocos2d games mentioned on these forums (& more specifically character design, as this thread was originally about). While I agree your friend is certainly good at his area of 3D, theres a whole range of different illustration styles out there, and especially for 2D focused games, the 3D style may not sit right with them.
While there should be no problem with you promoting your friends work & skills here in an appropriate manner, your tone & criticisms came across a little harsh, and perhaps a touch misleading. As there could be quite a long list of very skilled people on these forums, equally as good, if not perhaps better at producing their own style of work.
I don't mean to fan any flames either, and wish you & your friend the best on any projects you do.
Well, it's over and done-with now ... Riq made the point I was trying to make without the snarkiness I was using. We're all entitled to our opinions, of course! Bygones ...
Regarding your scenario, my tendency would be to err on the side of not causing trouble. I'm sure whoever will get theirs in the end!
Feel free to email me or pm me here. My email is on my site about page.

@TouchGameDev: I guess today is not your best day. Please, try to stay on topic. If you have something to report, do like the rest of the users: Start a new Thread on the pertinent sub-forum. Try not to play the "victim" role. Thanks.

Of Course Riq of Course - Please know that the developer I mentioned in the PM was not involved in this thread at all.
Again I am not referring to anyone in this thread and I am happy to say I got in touch via email with Areostat and look forward to learning more about his projects and hopefully he will be interested in learning more about mine.
Unfortunately the stolen code scenario has only gotten worse I know I am not supposed to mention that here but I have kept quite about this and am handling it through other channels.
Let's get back to learning and helping each other - I am all for that.
I believe I am worth considering for your art needs. I can provide character art as well as other assets for your game. Of course since the original post was made 7 months ago, I am quite sure you have found someone already.
Cheers,
Peter
