Hello I am looking for 2d artists. Anyone know any forums or website's where 2d artists hang out? Were looking for a specific style for the job so we need to find such a website.

Thanks for the offer but im more or less looking for a place where 2d art is displayed and discussed. The project im working on is only a week into production so were more or less looking for an art style before we look for the artists to create it.

Yes I have seen that site mentioned before. However I was unable to find a section related to 2d game art.

EDIT: I should be more specific. Were looking for art that will be used in the game (like sprite's) but we don't want traditional pixel style art. Im not much of an artist myself so I don't exactly know the slang/terms used by artists to describe stuff. Ohh well.

AFAIK there is pixel art and then there is just art.
Some artists still use traditional mediums, some use photshop and a wacom tablet and others use a mixture of the two.

Well what I mean is this. look at www.pixeljoint.com

Thats pixel art. It uses only basic pixels and no effects. This is the type of art I DONT want. Im looking for a more modern type of art style.
