Hello, I'm an electronic musician, and I'm looking for a wicked-cool animated avatar that I can slather all over everything. I made one for myself a while ago, but it's lacking a bit...



My music-name used to be Jimm the Dog (hence the dog), and although I've shortened it to just Jimm, I'm going to keep the dog avatar, just to remind me where I came from ;)

As to the specs of the project... the dog should be mostly black, but with a white stripe from his forehead to his nose, white front feet, a white chin and chest, and a white tip on the end of his tail. Try to give him a sort of goofy look (as above), but make him doing something cool, like mixing on some decks at a club. Or, if you want to keep it simple, just him nodding his head to a beat with some DJ headphones on would suffice.

As to payment, I won't be able to pay you with cash, but I could possibly make some music for any projects you're working on, and I'd gladly give you credit, and pass around some word-of-mouth on how good of a job you did :)

Plus, you never know... maybe I'll make it big :P

For those of you who doubt that I'm a music-guy, here's some of my stuff (and ALSO a shameless plug):

(second song I ever made)

(experiment with high-quality synth of the same name)

(lots of filter automation in this sucker... you can tell it's automated when that bass pad sounds almost like it's talking)

(my current project, I think it's neat... needs work, of course... it's got more sound clarity than the others)

I've only been at it for about half a year now, but I've improved a fair bit, so I hope you'll consider this request! :D

If you're interested at all, email me at jimm_the_dog@hotmail.com, and we can try to hammer something out.

Thanks!

Jimm

I'd just like to say, ModGEn, thats awesome.

Wow, thanks so much!!!! I had set "watch this topic for replies," but I guess it didn't work, so that's why it took me a couple days to reply. All I can say is, Modgen, you rock. I would love more than anything to have that gorgeous piece of work animated.

Hmm... not wanting to rush art, or step on anyone's toes, I'm just wondering: how long does it generally take to animate a project?

I'm well aware that Modgen is doing this out of the kindness of his heart, and the last thing I want to do is offend him. But I've been checking e'ery day, and I'm just wondering whether I should keep waiting, or if Modgen has moved on to other projects. I can personally understand if he's moved on, since it's often quite difficult for me to work on a single project for a long period of time.

Any information/update would be greatly appreciated, and I truly hope that this post isn't against some sort of Pixel Artists' Code. Really. You guys are great.
