I'm looking for someone with a tad more
artistic flare than myself to do some 3D
graphics for my soon to arrive little
game demo.

The game is a 90's version of that all
time favourite(mine anyway) Q*Bert.
It's (as usual) all 3D, with absolutely
huge levels.  It's a 1 or two player
game, with additions such as laying
bombs on cubes to corner your opponent,
special 'cubes' that either rotate (so
they can only be jumped on once), cubes
that rise when they're jumped on
enabling some inaccessible cubes to be
reached, cubes that lower when they're
jumped on, enabling Q*Bert to reach
lower levels, and all sort of other
things.

My only problem is, the graphics are
crap.  It took me 4 hours to get a
simple cube into an RSD file, and I
blatantly stole the 'ball' (Q*Bert) from
someone else's demo.

What I need, if anyone would like to
contribute and reap the benefits of
everlasting stardom is;

A Q*Bert character.  This character can
point in any direction, and can contain
any amount of animation you're willing
to spend time doing.
If the limbs etc prove too time
consuming, a cute 'tennis ball' kind of
character would suffice.

Some variations on the above character,
with frowns instead of smiles to
represent the 'baddies'.

A nice 'Cube'.  I believe the top side
of the cube may be textured, although
I'd have to see what performance impact
this will have.

Many thanks to anyone that can help.

Your best mate.
