WANTED: Background Art for Green Screened Short Film Scene

InTheOnlineAsbestosSuit

Look, Ma! Two Heads!
For those of you unfamiliar with me and my work, I'm the fellow responsible for those semi-regular news posts about the short Post Apocalyptic movie, Mad Nation. You can find out more about that movie here:

Since the Mad Nation feature has been completed and has had some noteworthy local success, my friends and I have started producing a spin off web series of shorts. Last month, we shot the first episode, involving a bar fight. We built the entire bar set in the basement of my house: we though that, instead of just boarding up the windows and blasting light through them to hide the fact that we were not actually in a post apocalyptic waste land, that it might be fun to use Green Screen paper and digitally add our own background later on. Observe, the before and after of some test footage we shot, using a piece of Fallout art downloaded from this site as a tester image:

Now, I personally am a competent enough sketch artist, but I'm not skilled enough to create a background from scratch. However, I also don't want to steal someone else's work without permission. So, I figure why not harness the power of the internet? Anyone on this forum who is interested in helping out with my movie is welcome to submit their own, original art work (must be legally owned by you, not someone else's work) for use as a background in the above pictured window.

Guidelines:
-I'm looking for a high rez digital image, preferably in .jpeg format, of an original background image to put into the window.

-The scene is set in a bar/saloon in a small post nuclear apocalyptic city, in the mid to late afternoon. I can imagine that the window would look out into a ruined, deserted city street. There would be no people in the street, as everyone in the city is in hiding from outside aggressors (this is part of the plot). Also, there wouldn't be anything visible in the window that would be moving, IE animals, moving vehicles, etc.

-The image must appear as close to photo realistic as possible: original photography thus is slightly preferred, but digitally created art, matte paintings, realistic drawings, and whatever other medium you choose to work in will be considered. Keep in mind that from the perspective of the audience, image will be viewed through a glass window, so a bit of distortion is acceptable.

-Obviously, if you can't post it here, it won't be in my movie: no nudity, hate speech, pointlessly over the top violence, etc. If I could get an angry email because of posting your image in my movie on youtube, it's probably a no-go. However PG-13 rated graffiti on walls, a dead body in the street in the distance, that kind of thing is acceptable, however keep in mind that the setting is a regular, post nuclear apocalyptic town, not a Raider Camp.

Beyond these guidelines, I'm willing to consider any art that anyone has to offer. Compensation would be exposure for your art work, both online and in student film festivals, and a copy of the first released Mad Nation DVD, which will include the feature film and the first 4-6 episodes of the show, depending on how many episodes we make between now and the end of the year. Interested artists can either submit here, or via email to perniciousparadise@gmail.com.
