Need more artists? Possible connections...

[Destructavator]

Just out of curiosity, Does this project have a use for more hand-drawn artwork?  Reason I'm asking is I've started an Art Appreciation class in the college I attend, and while for me it's a general elective, I believe there are some art majors in there, some of which might be looking for a way to get some of their artwork "out there" and probably haven't heard of UFO: AI before.  Although I personally can't draw even a stick figure without devastating mutations, I could ask around in the class if there's anyone who would want to contribute here.

I can't answer the question,

...but make sure they get the general idea of the GPL or CC license.  You can't assume they are familiar with open source. A good number of artists are horrified by the thought that someone could modify their artwork in the future.

It a waste of everyone's time to find this out later in the process.

Good point, I didn't realize that at first, thanks!

yes, we definitely could need them - you should ask Winter and BTAxis for more info

but in general there are still over 300 textures in the list [1] that needs replacement

and of course some of the ufopedia paintings - but it's the job of winter and btaxis to clarify this

We're dying for more 2d artists to illustrate the UFOpaedia. For example, we still need art or videos for:

Unresearched proposal graphic
UFO Theory
The Alien Strategy
Orbital UFO Activity
Alien Infiltration
Odd Behaviour
The Alien Mind
Alien Communication
The Enemy On Earth
XVI Census (Was being done by Ildamos last I heard, but he hasn't gotten back to me)
The Universal Serum (I think)
Alien Materials (I think)
Alien Body Armour & Alien Medium Armour (Unless we're using character models for this)
Continuous Wave Laser Operation (Low-priority, but we need to replace the current, rather clunky graphic)
Anti-Alien Gas

This is a comprehensive list so far, but there will be more articles that need art in the future.

Regards,
Winter

Is that list documented anywhere (i.e. in the wiki) other than in this thread?

the list is now online here: http://ufoai.ninex.info/wiki/index.php/TODO/2.3#Artwork

Still here. Sorry, company work took my time.  I'll be free two days from now so it should be quick.
