I develop shareware game but I'm in trouble. I cannot find high quality 2d-artist for game design. I can pay enough money for good work but all porfolio's I ve found can receive C+ mark not A :) I saw a lot of games on big sites (real.games.com, icq games) with brilliant graphics but I cannot find artists with the same quality of work. Anybody can give me an advice?
