I'm sure if you kept at it you could do backgrounds without too much effort. Please let us know when you have something to show from the project you are working on with that programmer!

Making a game with an programmer right now but i still have to kinda sell myself better. Maybe i shoud focus on the gunstuff but lets see.

Didt found anyone who only wants weapons and items. Useally you are btter of as an character designer or most of the cases in small projects you shoud be able to everything from animation to background and i am quite lacking in that department. 

Great designs as always. Have you ever considered putting together a game? Your art style would read well in a game, you could create assets fast, and it would stand out from the croud.
