Do you remember the adventure games of old? We're in the process of hiring contractors to build an adventure game along the lines of the old Sierra Quest game series. We have a need for illustrators who are able to recreate the "feel" of these older games while updating the style to meet higher resolutions and colour allowances of today's technology. These original games were in 320x200 resolution, 256 colours, while we are looking to create something with a standard resolution of 1280x720, 16.7 million colours.

Sample images from the older games can be found here:

Here are some images from a newer adventure game with a style very similar to what we would like to create, except our theme is sci-fi / space, so a more futuristic feel is necessary. Aside from the first images, the style is perhaps slightly too cartoonish, we would like something with _slightly_ more realism, perhaps best obtained through the use of grittier textures and less usage of black outlines around objects:

The game will be a completely new property with a science-fiction premise. The concept involves a dystopian future, a high level of technology and space travel. The game dynamics involve controlling a character that can walk around the screen, with set paths on these backgrounds. Various elements may be in front or behind, and there may be some dynamic elements of the background (e.g. lighting or other movement). These animated elements may be designed and enacted by yourself if you have the skills or an animation artist. A very simple example of play style can be seen in this extremely short demo (not created by us) - [login to view URL]

This project should run over 2-4 months and the number of hours will depend on the number of suitable contractors we find to adjunct various roles. Ideally we would like to work with just one background illustrator to ensure continuity of artistic style, however we are open to collaborative work between artists.

If you feel that you are able to illustrate with this style and concept in mind, please provide us with some samples that may be relevant and any other information that you believe may be of help. We also have the need for concept artists skills, so if you also have such skills please say so. It may also be useful if you could estimate the amount of time it would take to create a single background - assuming you have been provided with clear instructions on content and a rough sketch.
