Janko in a Jar

Image by Homies In Heaven via FlickrI recently made a public request for offers, searching for an artist for our game BraveKid’s Summer Job in Outer Space. These are few facts that could be interesting to someone for some reason.

The request was relatively exact, with number of different sorts of drawings we need. I posted examples of them so artist could get an idea of size, detail and style of art we are looking for.

We got 14 offers, the last came roughly after a week.

We pinned down 6 of offers that we thought were all really good artists and have the style approximately to what we want.

With one exception the best 6 artists were also the cheapest 6.

The lowest price was 1/8 of the highest price, with lowest not being worse quality than the highest.

The location of the artist (cheap to live countries / expensive to live countries) didn’t seem to reflect in the prices of the offers in most cases.

The artist we decided to go with was from UK (one of the most expensive countries) and was almost 2x cheaper than offer from also good artist from here, Slovenia.

It was hard to decide of just one of them and at the end it falls more to subjective reasons than objective. We gained contacts of a lot of interesting and good artist that we might want to work with on another projects. We also now know for one Slovenian artist/company which can do good art at more or less accessible prices.
