Hello, I am looking for a pixel artist to assist in a project I am working on.
The Project is called StarJumper, an ORPG I am currently developing.
It is a mix of space exploration/roleplaying/RTS via planetary colonies.

Preferrably looking for unpaid assistance, since I am not wealthy, but for quality work I am willing to negotiate some sort of payment terms.
All Credit will of course be given as well.

Email, just in case you dont want to scroll through the below info.

(Basic Game Information)
Base Story
  Humanity has always looked up at the stars, partly in awe, and partly in desire to explore and conquer this vast frontier.
    The steps into space were small at first.  But over the decades, as our planet slowly failed us, all nations united in an effort to free humanity from the bounds of its mother planet.  Great leaps in technology were made, and over the course of a half a century, mankind began his true journey among the stars.

    Now, two centuries later, the cause of unity and co-operation that drove mankind into the cosmo's is all but forgotten.


Some gameplay mechanics-(large section, scroll past if not interested)
   StarJumper will take place In space, on orbital/planetary colonies, and on planets.
The OverArcing plot of StarJumper focus's on the constant war between the UWC and the NE.  You may participate, fighting for your faction, or just slaughtering any opposing faction citizens you may come across.  Even should you choose to stay out of this conflict, you will find it impacting many things throughout the universe.

There are 11 breeds of ship, however you may come across modified models of each ship for sale throughout the galaxy.
Ships are essential for travel through the cosmo's, as well as defence from the dangers of space travel.  Though just as comman is the offensive need.  Ships are equippable with a wide array of weapons, sheilding, engines and power cores, computers, and more.
Different ships have different attributes, some excell in firepower, some superb shielding, other with powerful scanners, the list goes on.
There are many places to visit in the cosmo's.  Different space stations, and planetary cities and colonies can be boarded and traversed on foot.  These are full of shops, people looking for a traveller for high, different factions, and more.  Space is traveled via wormholes, which science discovered were plenty abundant, if you knew how to look for them.  Flight between solar systems is accomplished via these wormholes.  On a planet, you may leave the main cities or colonies, and fly over an overworld view of the planet.  Using your scanners, you can find area's to explore, resource deposots, and more, who knows what lies admist the stars.
Combat is mainly done via ship to ship warfare, however sometimes you may need to engage in human conflict, when battling for a colony or fighting over a resource deposit.  If you die while on foot, you will be ressurected via stored DNA samples at your last DNA sampling.  Any experience gained in between could be lost.  If you die while on board your ship, you will again be regenerated via your DNA.  However, your ship can only be recovered for a towing and repair fee.  While not a large fee, it is not pocket change either, so if you can not afford it, you will be stuck with a Star Pod, a very small and mostly weaponless vessel.  It has small short range laser cutters on it that can be used for close combat, but anything besides another Star Pod would still decimate you.   They are mainly only useful for small jobs to get the repair costs for your ship.

Some screens of the RTS style planetary colonization aspect of gameplay



When you build on a planet, it shows up in real time.

Anyways, I need various sprites, from equipment for ships, such as ship weaponry, armor.
Weaponry for players(guns)
"Both these are in 32x32 pixel format"

Also any sci fi things that can be used for mapping, and in heavy need of starbase's.
Thats all the info, if anyone is interested, feel more then welcome to email me at

Thanks for your time
