ARTIST/COLOURIST WANTED For UK TF Convention Artwork

Hello
For the last 5 or 6 years (I think) I've been producing artwork (Interior and back cover) for the UK Transformers convention Auto Assembly magasine. I am aiming to do the same this year (12 to 14 August), but require the services of someone with better Photoshop skills than myself, with regards to the colouring.

I am planning on a humorous piece that's based on an famous/infamous oil painting, and would ideally like to have colouring done in a fashion that imitates, or alludes to this. However, I do not have the skills or knowledge necessary to even work out if this would look good or if it is possible to create this effect on robots with lots of flat metallic surfaces (well, you know what I mean).

If anyone out there would be willing to do the colours, advise me if this effect is possible, or have alternative suggestions I would be most grateful.

Although this is not the painting I will be basing it on, this is an image I've seen with the kind of painting look I'm thinking of.

Many thanks in advance.

Advice Needed About Trading Rare TFs

Can anyone point me to someone reliable, who would be good at valuing items etc?

I'm referring to newer rare items, not mint G1 stuff.

Can Anyone Help With Pixel Graphics?

Does anyone know anyone who is any good at pixel graphics? I'm currently in the planning stages of doing an RPG game using RPG Maker XP. But I'm finding doing characters etc bloody annoying. Especially faces. If anyone could provide any tips or help it would be fabulous.

Alternatively, if anyone is extremely bored and willing to do the whole thing or me, I have 2 grumpy Badgers I can use as payment. Unfortunately I am out of temperate Badgers at the moment, so it's the best I can do. (IMG:http://www.allspark.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/icon-fire.gif)

Seriously, if any can help in any way I would be most grateful.
