Hello everyone!

I'm currently working on a platformer in Game Maker as a support project for our company's 3D RPG, and I'm in pretty desperate need of a pixel artist. I didn't know whether or not to put this in job postings because techincally it isn't a paying job, but you would be compensated %50 of the games profit (the other %50 would go towards funding the RPG).
Basically the game will be a 2D platformer with an artstyle similar to Final Fantasy XXII. The main character wields a huge claymore, the characters are very anime-style, there are airships, dragons, monsters, an evil plot within the kingdom, etc. The working title is called 'Dragonstar'. The game will revolve around the story of Delric Vaugnhaven, a typical storehand boy who dreams of becoming a Dragon-Rider. One day Delric runs into Allia, a red-headed girl about his age, who takes the biggest risk of her life and passes on her 'Crimson Star' to Delric, in a desperate act for someone who can save her. In doing so, she gives Delric control over Ragnorok, her dragon. Red headed beings are unheard of in Astasia, being as that represents one who carries the Dragonstar, a trait that means that that being is the one who carries the soul of Ignitos, the Dragon Lord, who every decade must arise from his sleep and defend Astasia from the Var, an evil race of demon that attempt every ten years to destory the world, always arriving with more force the more they come. Those who bear the Dragonstar are not capable of much themselves other than having a natural ability to heal wounds, but they may always pass a trait onto a single carrier that will allow that being control over a personal dragon with abilities far exceeding that of normal dragon. In becoming her 'Dragoon', as the carrier of the Crimson Star is called, Delric becomes bound to Allia, and must protect her until her time to unleash Ignitos arises.
Other characters will include Faen, a sarcastic wizard with a long list of quips; Lilith, a sexy mercenary with an eye for trouble; Quinn, a Dracnos (half human, half dragon) of little words and lots of fury; Mystico, a short cat-like being with droopy ears who has found a way to engineer an artifical Summoner Gauntlet; and Tyros, a rouge paladin who seeks nothing more than to uncover the tyranic plot of the kingdom's Prince Cable to kill Allia, and allow the Var to destroy Astasia.
The game will be an action oriented platformer, in which characters in the party can be exchanged by pressing a button. Certain characters can be locked out, meaning they can be opted out of the selection when cycliing through characters. Each character will have a basic attack, and will be able to equip five skills. These skills will vary on the player. The game will be played by episodes, with the prolouge episode being free, and episodes 1-3 being 1.99, 4-6 being 1.99, and so on and so forth.
