So the concept is that a heavy-metal fan is selected to become a heavy-metal mascot. But first he has to battle his way through other mascots to determine his place in the pecking order. There will be five themed areas (lined up with a pentagram of course) selectable like Mega Man, and then a final area after you've cleared the first five. Gameplay will be a run n gun, Contra-style.

Here is what is needed:
1. Background artist
2. Tile artist
3. Programmer
4. Sprite artist (optional, as I can do this)

You must be:
1. Willing to work free. Due to trademarks/copyrights in desire to use mascots of real bands and their music, we won't be able to sell this game. It's more of a portfolio builder to be released for free into the wild upon completion.
2. A heavy-metal fan. If you don't have a passion for the music and concept, take a pass.

Here is a sample of the rough, prelim concept work I did years ago:
