Just in case you need them, there are some free custom made ultima sprites over at www.gamebeep.com

Thanks for the info, clone45. I can always use other sources of inspiration.

A short update... Have one person who is interested in contributing a bit in the level design department. Still need help in the modelling/animation, sound/music, 2D art and scripting areas, although I have a line on a solid modeller who will do work for a very reasonable price, if I need to go that route.

Thanks for your time, and keep roaring, dragons!
