Help Wanted > Need ship sprites & C programmer for code cleaning

#82409 - Lini - Sat May 06, 2006 1:38 am

I need someone who can help draw 16x16 ship sprites for the project I'm working on. If anyone is interested, please email me, with 'PixShip sprites' in the subject line.

Most of the ships will 'upgrade' into another ship. The most ships I'll have in a series is 5, and I want the usual number to be 2-3. A few ships will not upgrade. They will all be in one bitmap, so 256 colors with the default MSPaint palette is fine. I think that I'll have 50-75 different ships (maybe more), plus 1 more that I already have done, for when all the others are collected. The ships should all be double-pixeled (what I mean is that each pixel in the ship is 2x2).

NOTE: I'm still a student without a job, so there's no way I can pay for the help, except with the ROMs that I release.

Thanks.

EDIT: I also would like to get somebody to look over my code (it's in C, using HAMLib) and try to help me clean it up somewhat.

Use dummy graphics until you find an artist. Try looking for an artist on a pixel art forum, if such a place exists. =) Artists are low supply, high demand here. That means that they generally won't be available.
