Well well, looks like we may have a match!

My group, Neo Productions, is working on a game called Genetisys : Evolution. We're REALLY in need of graphic artists on it for tiles and monsters and could really use a hand.

To be perfectly honest, I (I'm Design Lead for it) am modeling it more on Pokemon simply because I had started and had a really good Pokemon Online project going before NOA sent me a cease and desist (and were a lot of peeps mad about that).
The battle system I AM designing to be different however, more along the lines of Earthbound/Dragon Warrior, and monsters are fairly different too.
One major plus though is there is no hardcore setting and there aren't really any restrictions to the world design. Once the game goes online for Alpha/Beta testing, the players are going to have the ability to design the bulk of the world and a fair deal of the monsters, meaning you could have a nuclear wasteland region with no problems~
I also have a post in the General Discussion pertaining to the project, asking for help, so check that out for a little info or write me.
