UPDATE - Looks like we've found our artist! ;-D
UPDATE - Okay, even if your art style is completely different please get in touch. I don't want this project to die!
You may possibly remember Troll Song (see DEMO (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/site/games/game/1644/), which Knoodn and myself were making. Unfortunately it's come to a bit of a full stop because Knoodn just doesn't have the time to continue with it. Now I (think) I've got an artist lined up to take over, and I already have the game design / story for "Verse One" largely mapped out, but the real problem is the art. Tino created a lovely art style that suits the game down to the ground, and I'm loathe to have to change the style.
So here's what I'm looking for - someone who wants to help and is capable of replicating the existing art style (or reasonably close - there is after all only one location so far, albeit a rather large one), for which a paintover could be done if needed. I'm not artist so I really don't know how difficult it is to replicate a style, but my guess would be that it's pretty difficult!
Troll Song is Freeware and I don't have plans to change this, although the possibility of binding all the resultant episodes together into one game featuring extra content, and releasing THAT as a commercial project, does exist.
If anyone would like to help out with Background Art, Character Art or Character Animation, that would be fantastic (one person who could do all 3 would be amazing, but I realise that may be asking too much!). Please PM me if you're interested or have any questions. The game has received a lot of love on GameJolt (http://gamejolt.com/games/adventure/troll-song-verse-one/16925/) and I'd really like to find a way of moving the project forwards again. We already have 2 great musicians (Viking and KingSeamus), several voice actors, and Clod is ready to ROAR once again - with your help!

Just an update - Dualnames has agreed to help on the programming side, surely the prospect of working with such an illustrious personage is enough to make more artists interested in working on this? ;)
Hi Captain!
I loved this game (you know I'm on GameJolt community :P)
[and I guess the hand drawing just before the end of that demo is one of the background to make]
Ok... just two very minor issues we should discuss about:
1) you already know my art style ... and maybe's different ...
2) i'm involved in a lot of projects (not only ags projects) ... and my free time is very little... but not yet zero!! :D Probably it will become zero after that.
I'm Always happy to give an hand... and if to go slow ('cause of my lack of time) it's not a problem ... write me a PM
