Jetrel over at wesnoth.org wrote an excellent article about how to bring in artists for your FOSS game project. It's very good reading, especially for aspiring game designers. Read it here:
Attracting and keeping artists on an OSS game project
Kudos to Jetrel for taking the time to write this up, and for allowing us to archive it here at OGA!

Greetings!
Among the many plans we have for this site, there is one particular project that I believe will be highly useful to the community -- namely, a system for building sprites out of separate parts, similar to this:
http://charas-project.net/charas2/index.php
...except able to deal with sprites of different sizes, and also shift color palettes.
Essentially, the idea is that you choose a sprite base, pick from a number of accessories that go with that base (clothes, hair, etc), and then the generator will output a custom sprite sheet, built to your specifications.
So here's where you come in: I'm capable of coding something like this up, but I don't have a whole lot of time. If you're fluent in PHP and willing to help out, OGA could use your assistance. :)
If you can help, please reply here or drop me a line on our contact form.
Thanks!

Greets!
For aspiring pixel artists out there, Fil Razorback of Les Forges has graciously allowed me to translate his excellent pixel art tutorials into English!
You can view the English translations here. I think I did pretty well (with the aid of some Canadian friends and various web translation services), but if you see any issues, please don't hesitate to let me know via the contact form.
If you're fluent in French, I strongly encourage you to view the original versions here.
Peace,
Bart
P.S. REMINDER: The pixel art contest ends in 4 DAYS!.
