People work for Free on projects they are interested in. I wouldn't agree to write code for a project before I knew anything about it. And If I had to agree before learn anything, there is a good chance I'd jump-off the project once I found out it wasn't interesting to me. This is what Superku is trying to tell you. You get what you pay for in life. 10 years ago I started this game hobby thinking I could get people to work for free - It's a fantasy. Save your money and come back with a character you want to own and use in a bunch of work - then it will be worth the price. Like I told you, there are artist on forums and students on school boards - look for them- talk to them will get you a lot of NO's but it's worth it if you find that 1 artist that wants to team up for free. It can be a start to a great friendship and game hobby partnership.
