Hi guys. I'm looking to hire an artist who is interested in "re-doing" the existing graphics in New Star Soccer 3.
Here is a screenshot of the game, featuring my own graphics...

More screenshots here. (http://www.newstarsoccer.com/nss3.htm)

The game is already released and doing very well but i'm no artist and i want to give the graphics a lick of paint, so to speak.
The existing sprites would need to stay the roughly the same size/dimensions and the skin and kit colours can only have 2,
or maybe 3, shades of colour. I would also need exactly the same number of frames for each sprite.

There are actually 13 different kit types (stripes, hoops etc) for the outfield players (top row) but i may be able to edit those myself once you have completed 1 strip.

If you are interested please create an new example of one of the existing players and either post it here or send it over to me (siread@newstarsoccer.com).

I look forward to hearing from you. :)

I do not understand the purpose of redoing sprites if they should remain roughly the same.

You would either need to redo the dimensions, pallette capacity (permit about 16 colors for the entire graphic), or something, I would think.

Perhaps you're just not being clear? What is it you want? Some new variations? Perhaps a guy with a rainbow shirt, someone with long hair? What?

You will need to be much more specific and clear, because I don't understand precisely what it is you are looking for.

He said he wants them the same size. Not he wants them to stay the same. So that would be, totally redo the sprites, but keep the dimensions the same.

Seems clear enough to me :D

But for that size it seems to me that there is not much room for change. They are fine the way they are. Unless he permits more colors, I don't see them really improving much.

More colours is fine and is in fact the main requirement. There is no shading at all at the moment so doing so would make the players look a lot better. I would like to stick to about 3 shades of colour per shirt, hair and skin colour though.

How's this for a start? How much are you going to pay for the whole set?

Mate, that is really nice. The size of the head makes him a bit taller which may cause me a slight problem but he's got real character. I would also need it to have only 3 shade colours for skin, 3 for the hair, 3 greens for the shorts, 3 reds for socks and 3 for shirt. Each set of 3 would have to be unique, so no colours used for the skin are used again in the hair, shorts, shirt etc.

PM'd regarding price.

If you go with a larger head the players with stand out a tad better... might add an unwanted turn to a comic style though.
