ATTENTION: I found enough artists to get iSig Pets off of its feet. Feel free to post samples of your artwork if you are still interested but unless you are an exceptionally good artist, you will not be considered until after the initial release of the new iSig Pets.
_Introduction_________________________
Hello, I am Sinelo, web developer extraordinaire. A while ago, I ran a little shop (well, it was rather large) here on Gaia called iSig Pets. I really enjoyed creating little interactive pets and developing a small community around them. Since the closing of my shop, I have really wanted to redo and reopen iSig Pets again.
_The project_________________________
I am completely redoing iSig Pets, interactive pets for your signature. If you don't remember iSig Pets, surely you remember Feedable Angels (I think that's what they were called anyway). You have a cute, unique creature to put in your signature. As he attracts more views, he gets more and more hungry. Anyone can feed him but only once per 24 hours. Your goal is to take care of your pet as if it were real. iSig Pets takes this to a new level. iSig Pets grow and "evolve" as they are viewed by more and more people. They start as an egg or new born and as they are viewed, fed, and played with, they become less hungry, more happy, and age/grow. When they reach a matured age, you can accessorize them with many different accessories available only to that species. With your own special code, your pet can be placed in your signature, in your threads, or on your website to attract attention. You can ask friends to feed and play with it to help it grow. And that's that. Your own unique virtual pet you can take with you anywhere on the web. Did I mention they come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and colors? And you can even name it, a name that will be displayed in its profile and image.
_Your role in iSig Pets_________________________
Your role in iSig Pets is doing exactly what you love to do. Be creative, be unique, be fun. Just remember what the goal of the project is: interactivity. If you can design and create a "character," be it a creature or human, that has different colors/skins, stages of life/evolution, and can be accessorized, you've got exactly what I want. Outside of that, you have free reign. I welcome all styles of art. Fluffly/cute/cuddely creatures, depressed blobs, or demonic hellspawn/dragonkin. Let your imagination flow.
_Looking for artists_________________________
In an effort to find the best of the best, I am offering 4+ million Gaia gold (or my services as a web development guru) and/or a share in the potential profits of the completed project. This project includes:
_Choose your reward_________________________
Unfortunately, I do not carry 4+ million pure gold. That's just plain stupid anyway (unless, of course, you are actively buying and selling in the Marketplace). The artist(s) will be able to negotiate their payment with me including one or many of the following items:
_Show me what you've got_________________________
Are you a skilled artist willing to tackle these challenges? Please post some examples of your work (the more the merrier), programs you use to complete your works (Flash and/or Adobe Photoshop prefered or ability to export to .PSD or .FLA), and your daily availability. I am hoping to work with the artist(s) a few hours a day on this project until it is complete.
_My experience_________________________
My name is Kevin, aka Sinelo, and I am a web programmer and designer. My works include the following:

http://www.premonitionstudios.com
http://www.caribbeanislandbrokers.com
http://www.yourisland.info
http://www.parkwestproperties.com
http://www.wowgurus.com (no content...yet)
All of the above websites were designed by me and all have custom content management systems. My skills include PHP, MySQL, HTML, CSS, Javascript, some Ajax, Adobe Photoshop and ImageReady, Macromedia Flash, SEO, and Microsoft Office applications.
_Please spread the word_________________________
Remember, I am looking for the best of the best. It could be a long process, but you can help speed it up by spreading the word. Please attach the following code to your thread or signature to help promote my thread:
Thanks!
@admins/mods
If for some reason there is a problem with this thread, please drop me a PM before blasting it into oblivion. I can make changes as necessary. I asked a moderator to move it from the Test forum to the R&C forum so it's been "okay"ed by atleast one or two mods.

In an effort to find the best of the best, I am offering 4+ million Gaia gold (or my services as a web development guru) and/or a share in the potential profits of the completed project. This project includes:
- Producing and refining concepts of unique "characters" of different genders, colors, and ages
Using above concepts to produce final versions of a few "characters" including line art, shading, and coloring
Building a small collection of accessories for above "characters"
Motivation to do the above in a timely manner
