Long-Term Part-Timer Thread #2: I Understand Your Frustration Edition

>Character designs, splash art, animation frame tie-downs and cleanup, effects, environments et cetera

Just to clarify, are you planning to hire only 1 artist with your budget, who can do all of those things?

>>2737544
It'll help if you post examples of what you're looking for.

I'm just putting what needs to be done out there.

While I have no delusions about being able to get everything from one person, I do want to get as much out of someone as I can before they need a break or are otherwise tapped out. Unfortunately I can only afford to pay for one artist at a time.

While I'm looking primarily for a character artist and designer at this time, versatility is a definite plus because it makes my job a hell of a lot easier..

>I literally deleted the paragraph where I said as much shortly before posting and didn't even realize it hours later

Good God.

As I said I'm looking for a anime/'toon' aesthetic and to...

>Look at Shane Glines, Bruce Timm, Alex Ahad, XA-XA-XA, and Chris Battle

...for examples of what I mean. These are just examples though, if you already have a lot of work done in an animation-friendly style that's great, but not required. As long as you can pull something to that effect off without having a ton of similar work already done.

I'll be offering a paid art test to some of my top picks-just send in your portfolios, folks.

What's your game supposed to be? Genre, theme, setting etc? Might help catch someone's interest if they knew more about the project.

doesn't tell me shit

I'm assuming it's some kinda 2d platformer where literally everything needs to be drawn, but good luck getting anything done in this century at 400 - 600 buckaroos a month if that is the case

>I'm more interested in what the actual work would be

I'm primarily interested in a character artist and designer at the moment (character designs, turnarounds, poses etc.), but seeing as the project is being started from scratch nothing is off the table as I'd said. I want to see what you do and what you're capable of.

>>2738616
Sounds like this is fake and you're just an artist trying to see what sort of rates others have and how people apply.

You almost had me at "I'm an artist and I have money"

Don't be silly, making a thread like this would be pretty ass-backwards when I could just spend a couple minutes looking around to get that kind of information.

>You almost had me at "I'm an artist and I have money"

lol believe me, I only have money because I have a job. I can't draw worth balls, but from anecdotes I've read I am at least a bit better than many art directors you'll find in some commercial environments. I think I'm good enough to sort of offer visual direction to supplement any written or verbal direction I may have for an artist, but at this time I'm probably not capable of handling everything. I truly could use the help of someone who's actually applied themselves to carry my dead weight a little.

I'm not completely incapable of creating assets myself but as an artist I have tons of blind spots that need to be patched up before I even think of doing something like this alone.

You gotta at least say a few things about the project itself if you want to find the right artists for it. At the very least the genre of the game.

>>2738700

How paranoid are you? Someone could up and fucking ask.

What is the fucking project, you stupid nigger?

Who's gonna bother sending a folio to some faggot on 4chan without knowing what they're signing up for?

You guys are right. quite a few people have submitted their portfolios already, but if you must know-and I suppose it'd be fair for you to want to-it's going to be a 2D racing game with narrative and other elements presented in the style of a "VN". That said, it shouldn't matter much if it was what I just said or something based off of my 3238 page soft-core erotic Sonic the Hedgehog fanfiction (that's already been done). What matters is if you can squeeze the big steaming piece of doo-doo I plop into your lap in the form of a sketch into a completed piece with appeal, and how much you're going to charge a nigga to get it did, gnomesaiyan?

It may not matter for you, it definitely matters to everyone else.

I understand, especially considering where we are. It makes sense you'd want to know if the subject matter was personally objectionable or not. I didn't really think of it myself because I knew ahead of time that it was mostly innocuous.

You mean Nosebro? Honestly I'm pretty sure that kid's better than me, I'm looking forward to seeing how far he can get in a few years if he's still around. He's still very young so if he focuses and works hard he's in a good position to make it.

>looks like shit

See >>2738738

As I'd said before the point of this thread is me acquiescing to the fact that I'm not going to make it-at least not any time soon. I wouldn't offer almost every dollar that I can spare towards an artist if that were the case-I'd simply do everything myself.

Final shameless self bump. I just finished my third cast at the atelier today, fambinos. It'd be nice if there was a little more overlap between this sight-size sh*t and what I actually want to do lmoa
