Hello, my name is Eric and I've been working on games for awhile. My current project requires a LOT of art, so I decided to look at hiring a couple peolpe to work on sepearte things.

So first things first, what's the game?

To put it simply it's going to be super smash brothers meets pokemon.

You'll walk around collecting/training monsters and doing missions, then when you get into a fight it will be a fighting game that resembles smash bros.

The overworld will use open game art a lot of the time such characters from here http://gaurav.munjal.us/Universal-LPC-Spritesheet-Character-Generator/ So I don't really need over world assets, but I do need fighters... lots of fighters.

Now, what will you do?

You will be creating monsters that will be part of the combat, you'll be working in parallel to at least one other artist, so you'll need to keep the art style similar. 

I'll provide a description of the monster and then you'll make a still of the monster, and then once it's approved you can start animating. Each monster will need the following animation...

Running or walking

hurt

slow attack

fast attack

dash attack

air attack

jumping/falling (only need 1-2 frames for these two as jumping is almost instant)

Price is negotiable based on quality and speed. 

If you're interested in the job I'll give you access to a demo of the game as it currently is so you can see the current art style and how the monsters battle. 

The current goal is 50 monsters upon release. I have a lot done programming wise, but still have a long way to go, that's why I'm getting artists started now so with luck I'll finish about the same time the artists finish. I might throw in some orders for UI, buildings, ect. but he majority of the work will be for the monsters. 

NOTE: If for some reason I'm unable to use your art in the game (too many monsters, change direction, don't finish it, ect.) I'll release it as public domain as I hate to see art go to waste, so fair warning.

If you're interested please let me know. If you want to just do one or two monsterst that's fine, if you'd do all fifty given the chance that's great too. It's a big project so if you just want to do a couple that's fine by me.

Oh and I attached an example of a monster that is in game and working. 

So there will be two legged monsters, 4 legged, humanoid, dog like, cat like, some from mythology, and some that I came up with for kicks and giggles. 

Hope to hear from you guys soon.
