Suggestion from a pixel artist

[natchez416]

So this idea dawned on me when I saw the staff application NPC at unstick-me. Although I thought I'd like to apply, I really don't have the time, and my own projects suck up all of my spare time. Thus even if I wanted to contribute on an extremely part time basis, I could not justify dedicating time to era graphics, when my own projects are obviously more pressing.

So I thought, why doesn't era incentivize its players to contribute graphics? Graphics could be sent in to the staff team in the same method gun skins currently are, and the staff team could determine whether/how to implement them. Instead of just gun skins, it could be brand new guns, hats, tiles, cars, etc.

The incentive to create and send in graphics requires thought. Perhaps give the creator a free item of whatever he/she designs. Perhaps just set cash rewards for various pieces of graphics. Perhaps staff could release 'contracts' for which players could compete to design the requested item.
