An artist has been found. Thanks everybody for showing interest!

The project: http://sourceforge.net/projects/brickwalkeriv/
It's open source and runs for a little more than a year now I'd say. Programmed in XNA including the entire engine and library behind it.

Right now there are multiple people working on it, me (programmer), another programmer and a pixel artist (from Pixel Joint but is currently busy with his exams).
Sadly the artist can't do tilesheets of the quality that I would like to see yet. I have roughly 15 years of programming experience so the project will be finished for sure.

I do need the full ownership and copyrights of your artwork transferred to me. That way I can put the appropriate license to it.
You will get your name listed in the credits and also along with the artwork (if it will be publicitly released under a CC license (highly likely)).

What I need done:
- A full tilesheet
- Tilesize: 32x32 pixels in PNG format (highest quality) and real transparency (no pink)
- Theme: Egyptian, like the inside of a pyramid
- Including animated water
- Moving platforms (3 sizes)
- Spike traps/tiles that fit the theme
- Props like pillars, and theme specific props (sarcophages, dead bodies, etc.)
- Example (not mine!): http://www.pixeljoint.com/pixelart/35632.htm (this one is a bit dark but it indicates the kind of quality that I am looking for). If you can do it however cheaper but somewhat less quality then that might be acceptable for us too. If you're not sure just contact me.
- Walls. It would be nice if these walls can be used for floors and ceilings as well.
- Ramps (always 45 degrees in all 4 directions)
- Some props that do not interact with the environment may be bigger than 32x32. They can be any size in fact.
- Some kind of proof that you created the artwork yourself. I don't want to get sued 5 years later by some company that it was ripped from.
- And more (if we got the budget)

Payment:
PayPal only. Taxes, fees, etc. are your responsibility. I just transfer the agreed amount of money.
It's an open source project and your artwork will most likely be too. I am hoping for some discount on the fees as some are rediciously high for us :(. I/We do NOT earn any money at all from this project.
Payment is partially done after I have seen at least one completed tile (may be (water)marked). After that I'm sure we can agree on the other payment(s).
If you're interested please do include your desired fee in the e-mail (along with a link to your portfolio of course).
I also assume that certain tiles like spikes can simply be rotated and thus are not being charged the full amount for. The same goes for tiles that have just their palette changed. Keep it fair please.
