Looking for 2d artist for a casual iPhone game

[Aaron Koolen]

Hi everyone. I'm currently looking for a 2d artist to do graphics for a small casual iPhone game I am developing.

The Game
The game is along the lines of the old Jezzball type game in the sense that it involves enclosing objects in order to trap them in, but there are a number of significant differences to that old Windows game. It is much more arcadey and has other gameplay elements not in the "original" concept. The "style" of the title so far is retro/techno but your input would be appreciated.

Work Required
I'm looking for someone to take on the entire graphic side which would include among other things:

Title screen, highscore screen, options screen etc.
Menu items, and titles for screens
Fonts for score
HUD/Scorebar
Background(s) for the level
Animated Sprites (16x16 for the most part)

Time Frame
The game is progressing very well with all the core elements already in. We just need to get the art and sound done, apply a few technological changes and then playtest and revise. I am hoping that we can get the game on the AppStore in about a month if everything goes smoothly. With this in mind, I need someone who is committed and able to put the hours in but at the same time I want to be realistic about what we can produce in that time.

Payment
There is no funding for this and so there is no upfront payment. If you end up on board with the project however, we can negotiate some form of deferred payment or royalty.

Me
I don't have a website yet for the game so I can't point you toward that, but I am a software engineer of over a decade and used to work on video games in the mid 90's. Seek and Destroy being my first game. I'm a part time photographer with a website here, and you can find me throughout the web as I use my real name in forums. Just Google me and I hope that shows I'm not an anonymous phantom.

I am based in Auckland, New Zealand so artists from here would be great.

If you are interested in being part of the project, please email/PM me via the forums (I have my email option turned on) and we can discuss the project. If you can send some samples of your work through as well, that would be great.

Cheers
Aaron
