Looking for Concept Artist (Demo Reel)

[Acolyte]

Hi there,

While starting a team at local university, doing Games Technology degree, and planning on creating small demo reel for potential employers, I came here looking for someone who is able to create simple concept sketches. Understanding that this community is quite different from that of GameDev, I may be able to offer monetary compensation, however small it may be. See GameDev' original post on benefits you will get by helping with this demo reel.

At best, I am looking for someone who is willing to draw and/or code (both at once would be most welcome )and get credit for his/her work in terms of a completed demo reel, while not weaving away the chance of payment if the development continues and the game goes commercial.

If you are interested, please take a look at original post (http://www.gamedev.net/community/forums/topic.asp?topic_id=524436) at GameDev Forums, where project is described in full, along with art by one of my friends.


Kind regards,


Daniel

Seems that most people here do value their time and are reluctant to help others other than for money (no pun intended). I suppose that is fine by ConceptArt as it is a professional online resource for artists and do realize my mistake looking here in the first place.

You've only posted this a few days ago, and even if you didn't bump it, it would still be on the front page. Patience :)

It's hard for people just to sign up to a vague art project without knowing what it's about. I mean, I may be interested in doing art for a fantasy game with no or little up front money, but I would definitely not want to do a gangster game....

Details would be nice to have in this post, and it would even be nice to have in the LINKED post you gave us. I'm not traveling over 3 pages to see what the details are about a project I may or may not be inclined to be interested in.... :/

If I'm not mistaken, it says you have a concept artist on the linked page?

Jason Rainville is exactly right. If you have a project that offers no money, your best bet is to try to get someone to fall in love with your concept. Offer up some details. Show people why they should be interested in offering their time. The more excited and pasionate YOU are about what you are doing, the more someone else may be.

Otherwise, you'll likely get only half hearted semi interested people, and in all honesty most of them will probably leave you high and dry as soon as their interest wanders.

Edit- The link is useful, but if you haven't caught anyone's attention with your post few people will even bother with the link.

What sort of details are we talking about here? The unique game idea or exceptional story? If you meant existing concept art or screenshots, those are present in original GameDev post...

With all due respect, as being mentioned countless times, ideas are dime a dozen, and due to that I was pushing the line that people will be interested in this project as it offers *stable* approach to game development, contrary to countless RPGs or MMO help requests all over the Internet. Those might sound exciting as who wouldn't want to create another wooper-dooper-better-than-WoW-next-gen MMO, those however having extremely little feasibility of just being prototyped, not talking about finishing.

In my post, I was trying to attract the attention of people that think in similar way as above, however it seems now that most of them have their own ideas/projects and aren't interested doing somebody else's, and I perfectly understand why it is so.

I suppose that it's better for me to try it in abit different way, because right now I'm at an impasse.
