I'm looking for one or more artists with solid 2D skills to help with several Lynx games Songbird is working on. Prospective artists should be able to hand-draw (or possibly render from 3D objects) 16-color sprites with 1 to N frames of animation that will fit in the Lynx screen size of 160x102.

Thus, some static images such as title or background screens may only require 1 frame and will fill the entire screen. Other images may be animated, occupy a subset of the screen, and require many frames of animation -- such as a new fighter for Ultravore.

I am willing to discuss payment options relative to the amount of contribution. Contribute only a title screen or a couple of in-game background screens, and the most likely payment will be a listing in the game credits. Contribute a new fighter for Ultravore, which requires 30+ frames of hand-drawn animation consistent with the look and feel of existing graphics, and you'll probably receive one or more free copies of the published game, plus perhaps a small amount of cash.

Note that while I will try to offer something relative to the amount of work involved, this is first and foremost a labor of love. It's a great opportunity to work together to sustain one of the best handhelds ever, the Atari Lynx! My hope is to find some talented Atari fans who want to take a stab at being involved with a game mainly for the experience and a small amount of compensation.

So, if you've got some solid 2D art skills on a limited screen and palette, or know someone who is, please contact me. Thanks!

Carl, I'd like to help you out if you're interested. I've designed some graphics for my site and for some games and demos. I'll send you a portfolio if you think you might be interested in my services.

Hey Carl,
I'll get some samples put together. My portfolio site is at

Yes, I'd love to see some art samples. You can either mail them to the address on my Songbird web site, or feel free to simply give me a URL (as someone did above) for some art samples.

Thanks, and Merry Christmas everyone!

I'll be sending you an Ultravore character design soon, hopefully by tomorrow. He looks more consistent with the other fighters than my last drawing, and he shares their color palette.

Hi

If youre interested in some background art - Ive made a quite respectable painting which should be fit in the style of Ultravore - its a kinda "post-nuclear wasteland with car wreckages" motiv - this as an reminiscence to Battlewheels. If you like it i could do more.
But first i need to scan it....(wheres my scanner?)

regards

Scan away! Looking forward to seeing it.
