I'm a 2D artist mostly, but I really would love to learn 3D modeling. Got a tablet, and a scanner, to scan drawings drawn on paper. So currently I could help Nexuiz only with concept art and such.
Edit: I forgot to add that I know how to use Photoshop and I'm pretty good with it.

Concept art, if you are good at it, would be PHENOMENAL.

There are people here who can 3d model, but almost no one who can make a really nice 2d concept, so most of our models are done in a 'modeling by the seat of your pants' approach.

On the art side, I'd say that concept art is possibly the most important thing we need, actually.

Fantastic! :D My dream job is to be a 2D artist in a game developer company (or something like that (you know)), and this would be great practice.

Do you maybe have any examples of work you've done? I'm very curious :)

Ok, the MG ammo is done, so now I'm gonna design a new ammo model for the rockets. I don't think anyone has yet grabbed that project yet so I'm gonna try to finish this rather quickly.

Morphed is working on some weapon models, Shotgun, Electro, Mortar and possibly some more (forgot), so if anyone wants to do weapons please talk to him first so you don't the the same thing. You can find him on IRC at Quakenet in #nexuiz and #nexuiz.editing. You can also go to Anynet in the channel #alientrap.

Better late than never:
New weapon models and new ammo has been made.
I also made DOM points (for the Domination mode) and now I am planning on doing the runes as well (for the Runes mode).
Apart from that I'm not doing anything. I am trying to learn how to create player models (skeleton, export it, make it work etc.) but it will probably take some time.

If I once and for all happen to learn this process I might even look into creating new animations and of course finally new player models. But don't hold your breath just yet.

Just a quick update on my side.
If other people work on stuff as well I wish for them to keep us (and possibly new contributors) informed. This so we won't work on the same things, help each other, giving feedback and etc.

I'm mainly a mapper, but i also use 2D graphics applications to alter or create textures to fit my needs. I also have a deep understanding of how lighting works and how to achieve a specific look. Working with concept art would be great.

-----------------
GtkRadiant/NetRadiant - pro
Cinema4D - intermediate
Blender - Intermediate

Photoshop - pro
Gimp - intermediate
MaPZone - novice
------------------

I also started to play around with my new graphics tablet, but i doubt that my skills in creating concept art are very helpful ;)
Things i enjoy most when creating game content:
-low poly modeling
-creating map layouts
-lighting
My main problem lately is that i don't have the time to contribute (done 2hrs of mapping during the last 3 months :? ) but there are 4 maps sleeping on my HDD waiting to get finished and many more q3-maps to convert for the next mappack,
I hope to get back to Nexuiz at the middle of the year.
