I've already posted on the "help wanted" page, but I will post here too for the extra chance of finding someone interested:

I am looking for an environmental artist interested in contributing to a short, of which I have begun animation. I will pay money for your efforts, as this project is my lifeblood at the moment. I am looking for skill in your ability to illustrate terrain, and evoke a sense of distance.

The short in question is a 2 minute 30 second animation, of which the animatic is complete. It's title is "Leopards Frontier".

Long story short: the most realistic gunfight you will ever see on Newgrounds set in the heavenly highlands of the Caucasus Mountains. A hybrid of an anime and a Cormac McCarthy shootout. Please PM if interested, and we can discuss further. Thank you!
