Need concept artists for FPS shooter

[eezstreet]

Hello there, I'm looking for concept artists for an FPS shooter game. We need people who can do either character art, environment art, or both with somewhat medium-high quality.

I posted this under the Small Freelance Jobs board because we are not paying until either after the game has sold, or we get money from publishers to pay. The game engine we are using is the newly-released-for-free UnrealEngine 3.0, so we are relatively current-gen as far as graphics go.

Our writer has worked hard on a story. The skeleton of the game can be downloaded here:

In addition to the story, it includes a piece from SWAT 4 which should set the mood of the game. This is a rough draft of the story. Our writer is working on dialogue and such.

We also have (again, a rough draft) of the Game Design Document (GDD) here:

We do not have a website right at the moment, but we are working something out as we speak.
Email me at this address:

"need somewhat medium-high quality art."
"not paying until either after the game has sold"

We need to buy some medium to high quality food, and pay rent to live in our medium to high quality apartments, so we cant wait until after the game has sold, could you get any funds for the artists to start? like under $500 USD.

Moved to the non paying forum. eezstreet, with back end deals, there is no guarantee that payment will ever materialize. In 90% of cases, they end up being "non paying", so we must treat them as such here. I wish you the best of luck with your project.

Good luck with your game, I did want to point out that the UDK isn't 100% free. It's free to develop with, but should you release your game, there is a $2,500 charge plus 25% royalties after your first $5,000 dollars profit.

Any takers? We still need 2 concept artists.
