Hello all, and welcome to the Game Art section of GameDev.net I'm the new moderator, and I've noticed this topic is pretty dead! The artwork is 100% of what people notice when they first glance at a game, and though it may not be 100% of the game(at leat it shouldn't be!), it's what makes the impression, and encourages people to check out more about a game.
I've been working w/ game art for as long as I can remember (any old Basic programmers out there?), so I'd be happy to field any questions any of you may have, and I'll be sharing tips and tricks I've learned over the years in this forum, so check back often!
