OpenGameArt.org is running a pixel art contest! We're seeking hair, accessories, and other modifications to our male and female (to be released shortly) sprite bases, for a cash prize of US$100, or US$50 for second place! Read the rules and submit your entry today! All entries are due by August 1st, with winners to be announced on August 9th.
Sorry to duplicate this entry, but I had to blog it so it hits the RSS feed.

Greets!
I'm sure some people might be interested in where the site donations are going. The May/June donations of $150 will go toward making sets of clothing and hair for the RPG sprites. This is in addition to the creation of the female sprite (which is finished and will be up within a week) that I am paying for out of pocket.
Thanks a lot for the help!
Note: If you'd like to donate, don't let the "100% complete" bar stop you. Any and all further donations will go toward commissioning additional artwork.
Thanks!

OpenGameArt.org is now accepting donations. I won't go into great detail about it here, as the relevant information is all available on the donation page. I would, however, like to reiterate a couple of things:
* Donations will be put toward art commissions.
* There is no expectation that a user should donate, nor is there any special benefit for doing so, apart from recognition.
* I have enough personal funding to keep this site going regardless of donations, but any extra funds will bring in more commissions, which means more art for the community.
If you have any questions (including ones about site costs and whatnot), please ask them here. I'd like to keep things as open as possible.
Thanks!
Bart

I assume everyone's noticed that the front page layout has changed. On the right side of the page, you'll see a number of boxes, which contain links to recent and popular art. In particular, take note of the "Favorites" box. Registered users can add art to their favorites by clicking the "Add to Favorites" button on the bottom of an art page.
I've also done some clean-up in the forum area to make it a bit clearer and easier to use. As always, please let me know via the forum if you have any comments, criticisms, or ideas.

I've created an official IRC channel for the site. You can find it at #OpenGameArt on irc.freenode.net. Feel free to drop in and say hi!

It's now possible to request art for your projects! Find the "Art Requests" box on the left side of the page, and click the "Request Art" link at the bottom. Enter a synopsis and a detailed description, select the type of art you're requesting, and click "Save", and you're good to go.
You may also vote on existing requests by viewing the request and clicking the "Vote for this request" link at the bottom of that request.

I'm excited to announce that the first piece of exclusive OpenGameArt.org art has been completed! You can find it here. My eventual goal is to commission various sets of armor, hair, faces, etc, (as well as a female base sprite with similar options) that will allow developers to build sprites to their specifications. For the time being, customizing this sprite will be up to you, the community. Please remember that, since this art is licened under the GPL and CC-BY-SA, you are required to redistribute the source of any modifications you make to it (in this case, any Gimp, Photoshop, or similar files that contain image layers), as well as crediting the original author.
