My new business is called Blue Mantis Games. At first, I was going to get a painter to make the logo, but I think a pixel artist would be better. I've not decided on the typeface yet, but the logo would have a very alien-looking blue mantis, looming over the text. (It's difficult to explain, but maybe you could do a sketch of what you think would look best?)
Example photos that emphasise the alien appearance:

I think I'd definitely like the black eyes; it looks very cool. As well as the main logo, I'll need splash screens for games, web sizes, icons and high res PNG for t-shirts, etc. Of course, the t-shirt graphic would just be a resized version of the logo. As for the main logo itself, I guess that's up to you to decide what would be best. However, I think it should at least be 480x360.
As for a deadline, I think a couple of weeks would be ideal, perhaps three if necessary. I will need a portfolio. I need to know what kinds of styles you're good at. It might not be enough for a very skilled pixel artist, but I have £100/$168 as a budget. (As I don't have a lot of money right now.) If you're particularly skilled and you need more for the job, please contact me anyway. My e-mail address is: adminAHToutlawstar.co.uk (of course, delete the AHT)
Thanks!

This guy?

If this is the case then you should perhaps contact his employer.
They're a very high profile company with a great reputation and they would not want to be associated with be it via one of their employee.
Perhaps they can assist you in getting your money back.

Thanks for the warning. I've been investigating the guy fortunately before sending him the money. I've had many other offers from skilled artists, so it's not a major problem if I have to turn him down.

Thanks. I know that some artists who have contacted me might revisit this thread. I'm currently staying in Greece and will return on Monday/Tuesday. I might get online sometimes in the meantime, but I can't judge pixel art on my phone. Therefore keep your emails coming if anybody else is interested!
Editing this because the job is now closed!
