Socoder -> On Topic -> Anybody recommend an artist?

Hello

The guy who did my Crime Solitaire 2 artwork (not me - the other one!) isn't available to do CS3 due to having an actual job now. :/

Not really at the stage where I need an artist right now but I will soon, and having been shat upon by artists in the past, has anybody got any recommendations? It'll be for 2D cartoony-style stuff; game map screen, characters, card designs and that sort of stuff.

I can't draw, either, but I've never once bothered to hire anyone else to do it.
.. My games don't sell very well !

Web / Game Dev, occasionally finishes off coding games also!

Thanks - forgot about this thread til just now.

Contacted an artist today and got an estimate... the worst-case scenario of which comes to $40,000.

Didn't realise I'd asked for an original fucking Picasso! :/

Bloody Nora! $40K!!!

How many assets are you asking for?

Retro Style Games normally changes around $20K...

Another place to try is: https://ironbellystudios.com/
(Havent used them yet myself...)

The bulk of the work is 48 characters, 48 backgrounds, big game map (which was $1750 alone), plus a few other items.

Having a rethink...

40G?

I think I'll stick to doing my own assets for the time being...
