How much you generally pay for gif sprites

[sandy234]

Artists are getting so costlier. I think it cost more to make graphics for game then actual coding if you outsource both of it.

 

Anyway how much you guys pays for a single gif and backgrounds

What kind of gif: what size, how many frames? What art style?

 

All of those variables can greatly change what a typical price for that kind of work could be.

you would also need to adress the size of the image and maybe its content, then an artist could tell you how long he need for the sprites and tell you given on his rates how much it will cost. it still vary from artist to artist. a friend told me that professionals that work for some years and are quite expensive deliver a more painfree purchasing process but infact if you dont mind some possible headache or search a bit you can find cheaper artists that might provide the same quality.

Maybe you guys can post about what types of art you have commissioned and how much it cost you.  IE, how large was the image, how many frames, the style, etc.

 

I'm sure the OP knows it depends on the size, detail, type, etc. of the art.
