Im making a quick side project of a side scroller game where you are a paper airplane trying to glide through worlds and catch hot air to stay afloat trying to avoid obstacles. What I need is some simple graphics for the obstacles. The first level is gonna consist of house environments. They can be real simple graphics and dont need to be really detailed, part of the look of the game is to not have it been realistic and be more simplistic. Unfortunately Im working more and dont have the time to spend to draw everything out myself so hoping for some help. Any Help will be appreciated. Here is the list of items I would need (though if you have ideas for more stuff to dodge feel free to do whatever):
     -coatrack
     -couch
     -table
     -chair
     -ceiling fan
     -hanging ceiling light
     -tall lamp
     -Shelves
     -kitchen counters
     -sink
     -fridge
     -stove w/ exhaust hood
     -cabinets
     -hanging utensils
     -doors
     -bed
     -dresser
     -hanging objects (things hanging from a bedroom ceiling)
     -night stands
     -desk
     -boxes

Here is an example of the size for the room and the look im going for: its 1000x600:



I dont have any money to pay for this but any help would be greatly appreciated.  Just respond to this post and Ill get back to you, or just post the items on here if you just want to help with a single item.  Thank you

I'm willing to help you out a bit, but you'll have to clarify some things, and maybe make some concessions.

-you're asking for a bunch of graphics... for one level. what will the other levels be? Is it just 1 infinite level?
-why is it 1000x600 instead of 1024x600(WSVGA - well suited for netbooks) or some other standard size?
-how do you want to visualize airflow?
-will there be different rooms/themes?
-have you got some better examples of artwork (possibly from other games)

There will be multiple levels, each one split up into different sections.  So this first level which is what these graphics will be for is a house level, it will have 5 sections to it: Living room, kitchen, hallway, bedroom, and attic

Once this is complete there will be other levels based on other areas, to be decided once this level is done.

Well was working with 800x480 and wanted it to be slightly bigger so up the resolution but kept the aspect.  Can be brought back down to 800x480 now that I think about it.

They are just gonna be airvents on the ground, might add some transparent wave effect later but not a huge deal at the moment.

 Yes

 No, as for artwork I need some so open for interpretation.  Like the simple look so not looking for anything too complex but open to feel.[/QUOTE]
