Big Big Game Project Could Use Sprite Assistance!

[Trick Question 1]

Hey there everypony!  My name is Trickster, and I'm an older brony girl who has several pony projects in the works.  I am rather nervouscited (sorry, just saw EQG today) about a big big open-source game project I'm working on at present!

 

I'm not quite ready to announce details, apart from the following stuff.  First, it's a mod of an existing system, and I'm simplifying it significantly to make it easier for new players.  There's a great deal of combat but the storyline makes it virtual (no actual killing real ponies).  Also, I'm not the first pony to attempt this--I've seen at least two other groups try the same thing and give up, but I have the know-how and commitment to see it through.  

 

So here's where you come in.  I need many small, digital art images.  I could probably put them together by myself, but this would take me too long since I will need as much time as possible for coding.  I'm looking for anyone interested in producing the art I'll need to make this product shine.     The game will be playable without any art, but I think it will be worlds better with it.

 

What I need are canonical images of a large range of characters and critters from the show, popular OC's, and a few ponies/gryphons/donkeys etc. that fit a general set of descriptions I will provide.  Only a single image is needed per pony, but in some cases (such as the Mane 6) there may be multiple versions of a pony, like: Pinkie Pie, Pinkie Pie clone, sad Pinkie (straight hair), filly Pinkie, etc.  Probably top-down 3/4 view is best.

 

The images will need to be 64x64 png's with transparent background.  Large characters can be 64x128.  (They have to be in that dimension, so Crackle may need to stand sorta upright...)  The characters should be relatively sized appropriately, within reason--some trompe-l'œil may be a useful approach.  3d models may be a better choice than resized flash, but I don't really know--whatever looks most realistic will be used.  There are plenty of graphics already, just none which are pony-specific.

 

Would anyone be interested in helping out?  Let me know!  I don't really know how to reach ponies in the community apart from locals, so feel free to spread the word or let me know if there's a better way to get the word out.  My gmail is wolf.trickster, and I will be following this thread as well.

 

Thanks so much everypony!  

 

Oh!  Attached (shown below if it works) is a sample image that illustrates the quality of some of the art that the pony images will be folded into.  (I just cropped this in Paint so I don't know if it kept the alpha channel but you will need that for blending if you have any shadows or soft edges.)  But really--any art will do for this, ultimately.  I think once it gets off the ground there will be a swell of people interested in contributing.
