The MazeWiki is in expansion and as more and more articles see the day, the one last thing I, sadly, can't do, is illustrate them all with pictures and artworks appropriate.

As you probably saw, articles such as Colt M4A1 or 7.62x51mm NATO all have real-life pictures to illustrate what those are, but drawn artworks would be pretty nice as well.

If you are interested to contribute to the MazeWiki, and/or if you need details, precisions, and such, please contact me on IRC.

Needed artworks

We welcome all artworks, so long as they depict characters and/or objects that appear in the Mazes. These artworks will go on the Fanworks, as well as on relevant articles if they are sufficiently pertinent. We primarily need artworks for illustrative purposes (full credit will be given to their authors, with a link to their galleries and/or website if requested), but all fanart is welcome!

Highest-priority artworks are artworks depicting Encounters, Contestants and Characters.
Are also warmly needed: Bionics, Key items, weapons, weapon accessories, and Food.
Of lesser priority are artworks depicting more generic items, such as valuables and medical aids, depiction of rooms, traps, and everything else that may require an illustration.
