Hi, sorry if it's not the right place for the question. I need a couple of character animations for my game and i am trying to make a rough calculation of art expenses.

Here is an example art with the required angle and all. It doesn't have to be pixel art specifically. Can be taken from a 3d model. Can you price it roughly? Thanks.

Hey Dodo,

This might not be the answer you're looking for- but just from experience as an artist- this will really really vary depending on who your artist is. I also think you have to be more specific with if you will be doing it in/from a 3D Model or use pixel art- cuz then you would base your costs on that. It would also help a lot better to specify these technical things- since these will affect the overall look and feel of your game's art style.

If it were a 3D model-
Charge based on the Pipeline-
Model, Texture, Number of Animations

If it were a Pixel-
Charge based on the number of animations and complexity of the Pixel Art/style.

But then again- this would also vary as well based on whom you're hiring. Some charge per hour- some charge per project/task. :-l It's too hard to answer (I believe)
