Looking for background artist...

[ShiraiJunichi]

I'm looking for an artist to make some anime style backgrounds for my game. Some backgrounds I think I'll need are
Bedroom
Library
Park
Classroom

... and probably more too. Nothing's really definite yet. If you'd like to help, let me know- thanks

My suggestion is, just use photos as temporary background for now. Try looking at http://www.morguefile.com/ for instance. You wrote you think you'll need them, so I guess you haven't got the game all planned out yet. So my advice is just to start working with placeholder photos, maybe even finish the whole game/script and then ask someone for backgrounds. You'll have less eye candy while you work, but then again it may help you concentrate more on the things that matter. Making a game is at least 70% about writing text and writing/checking your code and so on, and so on.

Yeah, I'm not planning on putting everything on hold until I get an artist. I just figured the sooner I asked, the more likely I'll get a timely response. I'd really rather not completely finish the game, and then have it sit for a long time until the art is completed. Thanks for the advice though
