Greetings-
My name is Ryan Sharpe and I run the Video Game Development Club at the University of California, Irvine. We run several projects a year on different platforms (C++, Flash, UnrealEd, etc.) and this year one of the project teams decided to make an RPG using RPG Maker XP. Progress has been good so far- much of the scripting, story, and concept art is finished- but we lack a good sprite artist to help with the custom players, spells, and monsters beyond the RPG Maker 2k8 defaults.
It's not a paying gig, but we do get a chance to showcase these in front of the International Game Developer's Association every year, so it could look good on a resume' for future GBA/Flash development, if that's you're thing.
A brief synopsis, from our writer:
We also have a gallery of screenshots you can view at http://profile.imageshack.us/user/AnteaterGames . As you can see, the hand-drawn art doesn't gel very well at all with the rest of the engine's graphics, so a good spriter would help immenely.
If you're interested, please either reply here with any questions you might have, or you can e-mail me at rsharpe@uci.edu for further information.
Thank you for your time.

A brief synopsis, from our writer:
Quote:Kelliyah is the daughter of a minor nobleman who governs one of many
islands that are part of an expanding island empire. Her father is
assassinated one day. She soon discovers her father's journal and
realizes he was secretly leading a resistance group against the
empire. She contacts the new leader of the resistance and joins up,
hoping to discover her father's killer. Kelliyah does missions for the
resistance, finds new party members from various islands, and soon
becomes noticed as a threat to the empire. The empire captures
Kelliyah's mother to lure her out, but the incident results in her
mother's death. Kelliyah's goal then expands from seeking her father's
assassin to working toward the overthrow of the emperor. However, the
resistance leader is actually a pawn of the empire's prince, and
betrays Kelliyah when she keeps succeeding in missions she is supposed
to fail. The prince had Kelliyah's father killed so he could
manipulate the resistance and use it as a tool to create chaos and
take power from his father, the emperor. Kelliyah recovers from the
treachery and gathers allies to defeat the prince and his minions
