Hello everyone, I'm Thulinma (AKA Jaron Viëtor), programmer and project leader of Terlum ( http://www.terlum.com )
You may remember our earlier request for artists by Alaois, this is a new post because the main artist of our project sadly needs to quit working for us, so we're looking for somebody to replace him.
We're looking for an experienced pixel artist to make sprites and tiles for Terlum, a (as of now) small MMORPG game. This may also involve smaller general stuff, but mostly sprites and tiles.

Terlum is set in a somewhat medieval setting, but with an entirely different timeline. There are loads of new races, not the "default" ones you encounter in so many RPGs, like the Blank (morphing beings made of a watery substance called quicksilver), the Khast (half ant, half human), the Blighted (humans with a permanent decease that is both a blessing and a curse), and the Magicians (floating beings made up of pure mana), and of course a few more standard ones, like humans and golems. The game has a very large in-game history spanning hundreds of thousands of years, involving the creation of some of the races, inter-race wars and power struggles within the same race. Most races have a religion and their own gods. There is a main story, but also numerous side quests. If you want more in-depth information, please visit the site and check out the library menu item or download the latest beta version. (Note: the latest beta has a problem with the tutorial, feel free to use the test account with username and password testacc/testacc, it has been saved just after the tutorial.)

Requirements: The quality of your work needs to be semi-realistic for tiles, and match our style for sprites. Here are some examples of how the game looks (remember, everything is still beta and may or may not change a lot):

Payment: You will get paid 8 euros (= about 10 dollars) for every hour you work, wire transferred once every 2 weeks. You will also become part of a royalty programme. This means that if you help finishing the game, you will get a small percentage of our profits, even after stopping working for us! This all on top of the 8 euro/h salary of course.

Interested or do you have any questions? Contact me (for job/game details) at thulinma@xs4all.nl or Bob Dijs (for salary/contract details) at alaois@terlum.com. I'll also read this topic, but contacting me over email will get you a faster response.

We're looking forward to hearing from you
