Thanks for the heads up. Now if only I could fix my wacom tablet issue (specifically, the aspect ratio of my screen is different from the aspect ratio of the tablet, and there's no way as far as I can tell to use less space on the tablet).
Okay, here's a pen sketch for your first image. Trying to get any sort of open source painting software working is like pulling teeth, I'm afraid.
The latest version of Krita (2.3) doesn't appear to be available for download anywhere, and mypaint apparently has no way of allowing you to scroll around a painting if the window is too small for it -- plus the watercolor brushes don't look very good and it runs slowly on my netbook.
The pen sketch (done on paper, scanned and cleaned up in GIMP) is here:
First off, would you be willing to post the backgrounds in a gallery somewhere for easy viewing? Downloading the game source and pulling them up in a folder is a bit daunting if you're looking to attract attention from more casual users.
What are points? :)
I used to do a fair amount of digital painting myself, so I might give this a shot, time allowing. If I do so and I manage to get some art accepted, I'll probably just have you donate the award money to OGA so I can spend it on other commissions. :)
Here's a link to my digital paintings on DA, if you're curious:
Are you only requiring credit for non-commercial use, or are you requiring that this sprite be used non-commercially?
In the former case, it's fine. If you're saying the sprite can only be used for noncommercial purposes, that's incompatible with the licenses that we offer and we can't archive it here.
All that being said, I love the sprite. Nice work! :)

I may fire up photoshop or painter to finish it.
So, just to clarify, you're looking for watercolor replacements of the current images, for now?
Greets!
A couple of things:

Note that I haven't attempted digital watercolor, so it'll be interesting to see how that turns out if I give it a shot. :)

Thanks for the heads up. The blog page now shows the 10 most recent entries.
Ah, my bad. Disregard my first post. :)
I agree. :)
This is actually a planned feature for OGA 2.0. You can see it in action here:
http://oga2.opengameart.org/d7/node/2
(Please ignore the Drupal default theme -- I'll be replacing it with the OGA 2 web design).
Excellent work! Love it!

Just a heads up, to clear up some ambiguity:
Are you only requiring credit for non-commercial use, or are you requiring that this sprite be used non-commercially?
In the former case, it's fine. If you're saying the sprite can only be used for noncommercial purposes, that's incompatible with the licenses that we offer and we can't archive it here.

I don't expect to win with this, but it needed to be done:
