Hi their, I visit this site from time to time. This site is pretty cool, but every time I see something on here. I wish their was more promotional art work to go with it. After thinking about it for some time. I realized their is just no time for such art to be done. I feel it is something small but inportant. I know big game companies often comission art work to inspire their team.

Its a shame when good reviews or project pages get over looked. Just because they did have a couple good pictures to go with it.

So this is me coming out and tring to do something about that. So if you got game and you would like a picture. Hit me up with a p.m. I only plan on doing it for a little bit. But hopefully it will help promote some good stuff.

below is an example of a promotion piece for my own project.

I love promotional art. It's probably because I can't code very well in MMF2, or anything else for that matter. Nice piece.

Honestly, the only reason I don't do promotional art is because I suck at drawing and anything remotely like it. If you don't mind, I would love for you to draw something for my game, especially seeing how good the piece which you posted here was

I'll pm you a link to download the game, unless you don't feel like drawing for it.

@ -liam-, I agree promotional art work rules. I'm starting to fill up folders on my computer with it.

@ monkeytherat, i didn't download your game. the file was a bit bigger than i expected. I'm dealing with some really slow internet on my end. I want to do it though. Could you send or post, a still or two of the sprites you made. That you want to be in the picture. Maybe also give some details of what you would like to see. If their is another game that has a simlar look and feel to yours. You could also add that info. References of any kind always help get everyone on the same page.

All right, here are some screenshots / sprites below. The person is the main character and the head is the antagonist (he trapped jimmy in the huge dungeon). The gist of the game is that it's a platformer where you need to collect coins to reach a door.

For the picture, I would like something along the lines of Jimmy jumping into a coin with the door at a bottom corner and "Bill" floating above the whole thing. I realize that probably didn't make sense, but you can take as much liberty as you want with this, if you think that it will look better.

Again, I want to thank you in advance for this, it's really awesome of you

that is going to make a great picture. I love to do action poses. One of my heros is an artist named ben caldwell. I got all his art books, and he really pushes the action. If you don't have action your picture is going to end up a bit boring side.

I didn't do action in mine. because I don't have all his attacks and stuff decided on yet.

Well here is my stab at it. Wasn't sure what size to make it. Not sure if the skin is to red or not. Lots of little things. but every picture has that. I just wanted to put it up. To see what monkeytherat thought about it. Because what i might change about it. He might like.

I'm also game to hear what anybody else thinks. Maybe some ideas about putting words in it. Or what they don't like. That would be cool.

Jimmy is a charactor that I'm glad i got a chance to draw.

Looking at him right now i think his hat needs a bit of fixing. it doesn't seem to fit together quite right.

hope this helps your game out. Bill looked to me like he is a fast bad guy. That makes it hard to get coins. So that's what i was going for.

I hope i get the chance to keep this going. That was kind of fun. I know I'm not the best artist by far. but i like to try ,and add what i can to the click.

p.s if you want me to fix that hat just let me know.
