Sci-fi concept artist in need
Hello fellow artists,
My name is Sean Kelly. My work can be seen at here and I'm currently working on an MMOFPS. I have sketches, some models, the beginnings of a design document, storyline and hundreds of reference images. I intend on using the crytek engine for this title, with the disturbing title of Meat Grinder. A forum and sdk are still needed, but it is early days still.
I'm mainly a 3d artist, although I can also paint, draw concepts and write, 3d is my main expertise. I have several talented people who are interested in joining me at a later date, but first I want to develop the storyline, level design and concept further. I have several concept paintings and sketches already, plus one model completed and textured model.
Meat grinder will be a combination of realistic and comic book style, much like Gears of War and Solomon Kane. The protagonist needs to be developed further, what I have in mind so far he is a grunt soldier abandoned with his platoon on an outpost in a newly colonised planet. The natives are upset to say the least having to leave their lands and being killed off. Think of the Vietnam or Korean war, with soldiers sent into a forgotten by the public warzone.
At this time, I'm in need of a concept artist or two who have the ability to design characters, landscapes, vehicles, weapons and architecture. We will work closely together to achieve our goals.
The aim is to make a 2 level demonstration to pitch to potential publishers in the future. This is an ambitious title that is highly achievable, but I'm going to need your help. It would be next to impossible to create all of this on my own.
I'm open to ideas and want to make the best title possible.
I can be emailed at seankell2000@gmail.com
My msn contract is seankell2000@hotmail.com and skype at sean.kelly233 and I look forward to hearing for you!
All the best,
Sean Kelly

With two concept artists already on board, we are making steady progress. We are still on the lookout for a concept artist with the following skills.
Knowledge of anatomy
A flair for design
Excellent drawing and painting skills
Knowledge of Corel Painter and/or photoshop
Zbrush skills a plus
Great personality and communication skills
Passionate and hard working
Another thing worth mentioning, the game will no longer be a MMOFPS as it would take close to a decade to complete. Rather, it will be a story driven, non-linear FPS.

The Meat Grinder is going to be a special game, so you have the opportunity to be apart of it. Who is up to the challenge?
