Pixel/sprite artist needed!

Post by dsheinem »

I'm passing this on for a friend in Japan. If you or someone you know is interested lemme know and I'll put you in touch!
Dave,

Thanks for passing this along to anyone interested.

Basically, I'm replacing the original 152 pokemon with completely different anime characters. It's a spin on the "gotta catch 'em all" motif by replacing characters with the nostalgia factor of old anime characters, including the evolutions.

In terms of logistics, any program will do as long as the sprites are 64x64 pixels in size and contain a max of 16 colors. I've been using photoshop for this, and the game itself requires 4 distinct sprites -- a front and back (2) and then 2 additional sprites of slightly different colors. I only really need the first two front and back sprites.

No idea on how long this project will take, as it's something I'm working on outside of my regular work -- need to finish a book proposal -- but I figure it could take 6 months to a year depending on the rate sprites can be designed.

I've got no problem giving credit to peeps who help in the art department (in fact, I've been ripping from and altering existing sprites from other games), and honestly the majority o the project will rely on how quick these can be produced and hacked into the cart.
