Greetings, fellow art afficionados. :)
I've been working over the last couple of days on the beginnings of an OpenGameArt.org Community Tileset (note the image attached). It's just grass and dirt at the moment, but I think it's a good starting point.
At any rate, my ultimate goal here is to involve the community at large in the creation of these tiles. The plan right now is to dual license it, under the GPL, plus some yet-unnamed license that will allow non-GPL projects to make use of it in exchange for a contribution of content, thus growing the art pack. If you'd be interested in contributing, stop by our IRC channel (available via FreeNode's web chat) and say hi.
Peace,
Bart

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!
Bart
