Hello everyone,

I'm fairly new here so forgive me if this is unorthodox, but I'm currently writing a thesis with the purpose of analyzing various art and graphic styles in games, from cel-shading to realism to even ASCII that some indie developers use. Because of this, I'm told to gather contact information for various artists and Graphic Animators within the gaming industry and searching on my own has been somewhat difficult. Is there a proper means to contact artists in the gaming industry and if so, what is it? I've done searches on the majority of members and have plenty of names, but it's the email addresses that elude me (and I can understand why). I've also contacted the various game companies, telling them of my intention, but I'm told to do whatever I can to acquire contact information.

Can you guys help me out?
