Cheap game graphics for a limited time!!!

Hi Everyone,
I have found myself in a pickle and my cash flow has stopped. I could go into a long story of an evil client who owed thousands but I won't as its also partly my fault for working on games when I should have been doing work for clients.
Anyway, due to this problem I need paid work quick and so for a limited time I am offering my services for 'whatever you can afford'. Basically, if you send over you list of 2D graphics you need for your game and how much you can afford I will let you know if I can do it.
I have thrown together a quick portfolio of some work at http://www.koocachoo.co.uk
(I wanted to check if this was a viable option first).
You can see I have a cartoon-esque style so if you need graphics please let me know.
All payments will need to go through paypal and paid on delivery.
What I need:
- a short brief
- graphic list (and any sizes you are working to)
- Cost you are willing to pay
I know this is crazy but I enjoy doing graphics and I need to get some cash in quick so if you can help me, hopefully I can help you.

Nice

Will definitely consider you for work, currently in promotion mode. But when I start planning my next game I will see how my spare funds are doing.
Good luck...
look forward to your email, I feel like I owe you so much already
@JCford
yep, there was a post about a community game with a GS character so I quickley mocked up a potential character
@butterbean & storm
let me know if you need anything
I had the fortunate pleasure of meeting some of you last week and if one thing was clear to me after was the presentation of the game, as you know I am a Soldier not an artist like some of you but I still want the best looking games/apps that I can and for me debug designs is my avenue to achieve this.
Like most of us Ian is a family man trying to earn a little spends and I can relate to that and I applause the bravery for such an honest post.
If you would like to see some of the work he has done for me please visit my current website and I will post it there, however give me an hour. The new AppChogie logo is on it now.
If you need fast artwork to a professional standard at "mate rates" as such drop Ian a line please.
Cheers

I was thinking more about 'props' for games (backgrounds, plants, etc).
Perhaps have a something similar to 'istock' with ur artwork and users can buy and pay thru paypal.
and then if somebody needs something very unique, u can work a deal with the developer (commission, percent on sales, etc).
just a thought.
Thanks for the recent emails which I will get sorted this weekend.
Thankyou SO much to everyone in this community; everyone is amazingly supportive!!!
@RDCube - I am a web designer by trade so creating a site was a thought I had previously so let me know what kind of objects / packs you think you need and I wil get cracking... I have a few alreadly but any generic things you need let me know.
- object / item (tree, chest, power up, key etc)
- perspective ( top down, side view, isometric etc)
- style (icon, cartoon, realistic, retro etc)
- size (iPod, ipad etc)
- comments ( target Market, game back story, inspiration)
from there I can create anything you need
ian
and weirdly there is another forum post with the same title... a bit odd?
Thanks Ian for your wonderful work and I'll definitely keep you in mind for future projects!
Thanks Ian, you will be hearing from me again soon!
Thanks Ian!

He's very versatile, very fast, very good and very reasonable. To be honest, he's restored my faith in artists!
If you need graphics fast, definitely ask this guy. Make sure you've written a good brief though - artists don't work so well in the dark I've heard
Seriously - thank you Ian - the work you're producing for me has me sitting here at work, itching to get home!
Thanks!

Three days later, he's done!
That's an AMAZING turnaround for the amount of graphics I asked for...
Here's a taster of 'Project K':
I said: I need a couple of Islands please!
Ian said: Here, have the island from LOST
GENIUS
Thanks Ian, to you and your team!

I did something a bit different though. I asked for a lot but couldn't afford much, therefore, I drew a small 'doodle' on a piece of paper, scanned it and send it to him to bring it to life.
He did an amazing job and a day turn around for my main character.
Now is up to me to design all around his great design...or save some money so he can get all the pieces together...he's well worth it.
Thanks again Ian for working with low (cheap) budget indies ;^)
We got some graphics. Amazing turnaround time. Graphics look great. awesome.
I am feeling more confident about my debt thanks to you guys...
Let me know if there is anything I can do to help.
Throughout the process Ian clearly communicated the final price and even provided samples so I could request changes if necessary (before he got too far down the road and the changes were drastic). This is one of the biggest selling points when working with an external contractor and an area I have been bit before. But not with Ian; everything was upfront and dealt with in a reasonable amount of time - and we don't even live on the same continent!
Honestly, now that I have my art assets it will be up to me to make sure my logic does his quality work justice (fingers crossed). I will have no problem going to Ian in the future for art and I hope people jump on the opportunity to exploit his abilities too.
You won't regret it.
Thanks again Ian.

I may need a little more... this is getting addictive

I'm joking of course. No no get back off the floor, dry your eyes, there's more...
I just wanted to say how bloody great this is. debugdesign has done such excellent work, and earned such great feedback, even i have been tempted to commission something (And that's tough to say for a designer). It's threads like this that put a big fat smile on my face.
