$$ Paid work for pixel artist $$

Post by guo »

Hello!

I have quite alot of original graphics done (to a fairly reasonable standard) for my game. However, I find that as I am working on it I am constantly needing to go back and create various objects, walkabouts, and tiles on the fly. Sometimes I can find it daunting to even begin working on an area because I just know I'm going to spend alot of that time creating new assets. Lately, I've taken to using placeholders more often but I'd like to think there was another way.

My question is this: If I were to provide an itemized list of what assets I required (mainly tiles, layer objects) would someone be willing to create them for me? For real money? What kind of price would we be talking?
Additionally, I would generously incentivise someone who could create decent battle sprites for my heroes. ATM I am using edited versions of walkabouts for this purpose.

Thanks for reading, hopefully somebody out there needs the money as much as I need the help :)

There are various screenshots about SS and Castle Paradox, and I have a demo uploaded @ http://www.castleparadox.com/gamelist-d ... p?game=820 (Although none of this content except the graphics has been retained - 3+ years old).

I know a fairly talented pixel artist. I can set up something between you two if he's feeling up to it.

You might also try Fenrir-Lunaris. He's really busy, but if it's paid work, he can usually find time for it.
