My Total Conversion needs an artist to help in creating new interface skins

*Sorry for the double-post...I posted in the wrong forum first, stupidly-not seeing the forums below and thinking I had to go into two sub-levels of Artist's Corner to post*

Hello all. My name is DestintheValian(t), and I am second-in-command of the Robotech: Enemy Frontier WarCraft III Total Conversion (formerly known as the Robotech Expeditionary Force TC). We haven't released a new version since November, so I'm currently in the midst of gathering together all the new material I can get to insert into the new upcoming Alpha 4. So far I have already created 3 Victory Score Screens, 1 Defeat Screen, and scores of buttons using footage from the Robotech Remastered DVD sets.

However, (besides new models, which we really need help with btw) I would like to have new interface console skins for each of the 3 multiplayer races (REF/humans, Robotech Masters, and Invid), as well as the single-only Tiresian race. New cursors would be great too...I really think that if we could get new interface skins into the mod, perhaps finally the general modding community would finally take interest in our project, despite our current graphical standing (no WC3-compatible models yet, although we have several in the skinning stages). However, while I am decently skilled in Photoshop, I don't think I could properly design the interfaces and give them the polish they deserve.

So to that end, I want to put a call out to all those experienced in the process of creating interface skins to give us a call at my [email protected] address, or just post something here. Experience with the Science Fiction anime series Robotech is appreciated, but not required. Any resources we can give you that would make your task easier (screens of the series, etc.) will of course be furnished. Photoshop experience is required.

Note: by "interface skins" I am referring to the console you use during a WC3 game to interact with the game (it's the frame that holds the buttons and stats you use every game, as well at the menu framework). We need 4 of them. I would prefer to have them within a month.

Our site is located at http://www.skullsquadron.com. Please note the version up for download there is almost 3 months old, so don't take that as an indication of our current standing.</shameless plug>
