GfK	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.

Jayenkai	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 ! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

GfK	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! :/

therevillsgames	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...)

GfK	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...
