Pixel Joint Forum: [PAID] Tentacle Artist

Message

Dear [[your name here]],

You have been selected for a unique opportunity to be involved in the exciting process of creating a real time simulation of a living Octopus City. We at Ghost in a Bottle and Sons
 would like to extend an invitation to apply for the position of Senior 
Tentacle Artist II to help us deliver high quality tentacle art to our 
clients around the world. 

Octopus
 City Blues is an upcoming 2D adventure game concerning a cyberpunk city 
built around a giant octopus in the midst of a perpetual snow 
storm. You take on the role of Kaf Kafkaryan, a lowly tentacle cutter 
plagued with terrible nightmares. The game focuses on exploration
 and interaction with a variety of NPCs who go around their daily 
schedules. Guide Kaf through the 
narrow streets of an overcrowded city on the brink of extinction. 
Explore a decadent world of octopus blood addiction, corrupt 
politicians, warring gangs and filthy slums on a surreal quest to 
uncover the meaning of Kaf’s ominous dreams.

Here’s
 where you come in. I need a 2D pixel artist (or more) to draw backdrops
 and sprites for the game. The game would have a small resolution 
(320x240) and is built on a custom cross-platform engine. The city 
itself is dark and full of animated tentacles that spread and grow, 
going through cracks in walls and slowly overtaking the city. The main 
sprite doesn’t talk much, but he is pretty animated -- always ending up 
in the wrong place or doing some really stupid expression. There are 
also a variety of surreal dreams that take place in jungles, war zones, floating islands and techno catacombs. The dream segments are generally short and more 
linear, however. 

The
 job will require a lot of work but the city itself is limited to a 
number of central locations and we can scale the scope of the game 
depending on what’s possible. This is a paid position and I could 
provide you with more information and more detailed requirements if you 
contact me. 

Please check out the main site for a glimpse of some of the concepts behind the game and feel free to contact me at  contact@ghostinabottle.com, or send a PM here.
