New Fantasy / Strategy Game Needs New Art

Hello, everyone
Since July, I've been creating a fantasy role-playing strategy game called "To Be King" using the Vassal engine. This is a creation that I've been developing - and enjoying with a small core of friends - for about 15 years (previously as various board game versions). I've always wanted to make an online version of it. Now, with the discovery of the Vassal engine, my dream game may be realized.
I've worked on the game every day since July and I've just recently finished a beta version that's fully operational with a complete rule book.
The problem is, most of the art in the game is stuff I've downloaded from here and there off the Internet. My intention was to get a working version to play among a private group of friends to work out the dings and scratches and then turn my attention towards finding some artists who could help me fill the game with original art for a free public release.
I have one other person working with me (Soft-bug) but, although both him and I can manipulate graphics to some extent, neither one of us is an artist.
Anyone who would like to help us out will get as much attention as I can provide on my web site and in the game.
For more information ..and to see how the game is progressing ...check out the "To Be King" website.

Included on the page is a section featuring artwork done by other contributing artists. We still need plenty more art before we can publicly release v1.0 so, if you can help us out, please drop me a note. This would be a great opportunity to get some exposure and advertising for your work.
We also need play testers.
Look forward to talking with you.
