Hi all,
Im currently working on remastering a little known mod for the Source Engine called Dear Esther (http://www.moddb.com/mods/dear-esther).
The mod is a unique experience which plays out more like an interactive story than a traditional game. There's no shooting, jumping or blowing things up, it's simply a journey through the eyes of a tormented and dying man steeped in mystery and hidden meanings.
After I played this mod around a month ago and felt that it had great potential but saw that it was being let down by the quality of the visuals. With the approval of the original mod author, I've decided to pick the mod up and bring the visuals up to the quality it deserves.

Current visuals
Right now what I'd really like help with is producing some concept art paintovers from screenshots of the existing levels for inspiration and ideas on style and how I can add details to the world.
I wouldnt need anything super detailed just something which can help stimulate the imagination, and it should only be around 6-7 small concepts.
For anyone who's interested you can download and check out the current version of the mod here. (http://www.moddb.com/mods/dear-esther/downloads)
If you need to know more just ask; I also have a design document detailing various aspects of the game if anyone decides to help out. If you want to see more of my past projects you can visit my site here (http://www.littlelostpoly.co.uk)
Thanks in advance,
Rob
