just wanted to point this site out to all you people.
it's really new so there are not to many artist on it just right now. but i think it will catch on and help artist get connected with people who need art for games. So if your a publisher and need some art i think this will be a good place to check some time soon.

Interesting, I believe the game Duel of Ages used a pool of about 10 3d artists from a site similar to this one. It was a big site with thousands of artists. They selected the best people (for the game) by browsing their online folio and contacted them for a contract. I haven't seen the game in real life but from the pictures, the art looks nice.
Let me dig up some stuff..
The site I was talking about is http://www.renderosity.com/
Here's the artists of Duel of Ages:
http://www.duelofages.com/submit/Artists/
There's also a nice pdf of notes and interviews on the front page under Point of Interest -> DOA Development Notes [PDF (~244 KB)]
We went to the Renderosity ALL galleries view. Started at page 1, and reviewed nearly 400 pages of 18 thumbnails each. Three weeks later we did it again. Over 15,000 images. From this, we narrowed our list down to roughly 600 artists. We then reviewed the galleries of each selected artist. From there, we reduced our list to 22 artists. I enjoyed it. My eyes did not.

Oh, I didn't realize it was a community of artists. I was checking out Donald Carr and Mark Brooks at the time, but didn't realize they were different artists.
Fun stuff.
That radioactive killer bee is totally rad!
