EDIT: I'm going to have to overhaul this thread, because wiser people than myself (Oh, hey Chomba!) have made me realise how bare bones and limited this request of mine was.
I'm going to come back to this thread with proper references on the art direction I'm looking for, as well as more detail, at a later date.
For the time being: sorry for the mess below.
Spoiler
I'm looking for an artist to work with on creating an expanded version of my February MAGS game: One More Fathom ( https://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/forums/index.php?topic=58887.0 )
Project detail
My goal is to rebuild the game with a higher resolution, new artwork, audio and music, as well as new content, expanded story and more. I am hoping to move from away from a pixel art style, toward a more cartoony or comic-book art style, as permitted by the higher resolution of the new version.
Open position
I am searcing for an artist to draw backgrounds, characters, objects and creatures, replacing the low-res pixel art of the MAGS version, while adding new characters, objects and scenes to go with new gameplay mechanics.
Other open positions may become available at a later date, and I will update here or create a new thread as appropriate at that time.
Project timeline
There is no concrete deadline, but my goal is to start the project during the summer of 2021, with a goal of finishing the project either by end of 2021, or early 2022, depending on how well sourcing art, audio and music go. However, as there is no external pressure on the project, delays are possible.
Payment & Funding
I am paying for this out of pocket, and my budget is limited to what I have left of my salary after my living expenses.
If you are a potentially interested artist, feel free to reach out to me to discuss the project, scope and potential price offers, as well as other detail.
