Outsourcing benefits are numerous. It gives game developers access to various experts with different skills and experience that an in-house team might not have. Also, it’s a cost-effective solution. Hiring a full-time art team is very expensive, especially for smaller studios. Outsourcing deals with this problem and lets developers save on recruitment.
Of course, it’s flexible because developers can outsource various tasks, like concept art or 3D modeling. And last but not least, outsourcing accelerates the development process. With an external team focused only on art, the main studio can speed up production and meet deadlines more effectively.
First, we specialize in 2D art services. Among them are concept art, character design, and environment design. From casual to fantasy, we create detailed visuals that match perfectly your game. Second, we are pro in 3D art services. By using professional tools like Blender, Maya, and others, we can create everything from character modeling and texturing to environment design and props.
Third, we specialize in animation. Our 2D and 3D animation services cover character movements, dynamic effects, and cinematic scenes. Also, we provide VFX services. They are perfect for those who want to add an extra layer of polish and excitement to their game.
Whatever services our clients need, we work on every project with care and creativity. Outsourcing your game art to us means making your project shine.
1. Understanding the Concept
We start by diving deep into your game’s story. It’s significant to make sure we understand your vision at the pre-production stage.
2. Research and Inspiration
Our team gathers references and ideas beforehand. For example, if your project is fantasy-themed, we’ll explore elements like magical landscapes or character archetypes to match the vibe.
3. Concept Development
Based on the gathered ideas, we create concept art to outline the style and details.
4. Design
At the production stage, we collaborate with you at every step, sharing updates and refining the work based on your feedback.
5. Detailing and Polishing
At this stage, our team adds textures, shading, and lighting to the art.
6. Quality Assurance
Before delivering the final assets, we test them. We do this to ensure they meet the highest quality standards.
For 3D modeling and sculpting, our 3D artists use Blender, Maya, 3ds Max, and ZBrush. These tools allow us to achieve high-detailed results for everything from realistic characters to complex environments. To add lifelike textures to 3D models, we use Substance Painter and Substance Designer.
For smooth and dynamic animations, we use Maya and Blender. These tools ensure realistic movements and enhance gameplay. By combining this software with our expertise, we create game art that is visually stunning and meets modern industry standards.
In 2D art, we’ve created amazing concepts for fantasy and sci-fi games. For them, the main goal was to highlight the unique atmosphere of the world. Talking about character designs, we have experience in creating both protagonists and antagonists.
For 3D projects, we’ve developed hyper-realistic character models with lifelike facial expressions and advanced textures. Our animation work is another thing we’re proud of. We’ve brought characters and environments to life with smooth movements and precise details.
Our portfolio reflects perfectly our commitment to delivering high-quality game art. If you’d like to see specific examples, we’re always happy to share detailed case studies or provide access to our art!
For 2D art, we can create everything from simple sketches to fully rendered illustrations. The price will depend on how much work is needed for each piece, based on the factors we've mentioned before.
In 3D art, costs depend on factors like whether you need low-poly models optimized for mobile games or high-poly, hyper-realistic models for AAA titles. The addition of textures, rigging, and animation also adds to the pricing.
Animation is typically priced based on complexity and length. Simple character loops like walking or idle animations are more affordable compared to intricate fight scenes or cinematic sequences.
Our approach is to work closely with clients to define the project scope, ensuring that the pricing aligns with their needs. We provide clear estimates and detailed breakdowns, so there are no surprises. If you’re curious about specific pricing, we’d be happy to discuss your project in detail!
Medium-sized projects (designing multiple characters, props, or environmental assets) usually take a few weeks. During this time, our team collaborates with you to ensure the designs align perfectly with your vision. Feedback is also built into the schedule.
For larger-scale projects (developing a complete game art package that includes characters, environments, animations, and more) timelines can range from a couple of months to several months. These projects involve detailed planning, constant communication, and multiple stages of review.
To ensure smooth delivery, we provide a clear timeline at the start of the project. Our team is flexible and efficient, ready to adapt if priorities shift during development. Let us know your needs, and we’ll create a plan that works for your project!
Different types of artwork also carry different price tags. 2D art services are priced based on the level of detail and style complexity. 3D art services, including modeling, texturing, rigging, and animation, are priced accordingly based on the realism required.
The time invested in creating each piece of game art affects the overall cost too. Projects that require quicker turnaround or involve more revisions may incur additional charges to ensure quality and meet deadlines.
Whether you’re developing a small indie game or a large-scale AAA project, our goal is to deliver exceptional game art that aligns with your vision. We’re always transparent about our rates and ready to discuss how we can best meet your budget.
For example, if your team has nailed down the creative direction but needs someone to handle detailed 3D modeling or texturing, we can jump in right there. Or, maybe you’re in the prototyping phase and need quick concept art to visualize the game world. We can step in to create those visuals that bring your ideas into focus.
Our services are flexible because we know no two projects are alike. Some studios prefer end-to-end solutions, where we handle everything from concept to final delivery, while others might just need help with animation or environment design. We’re here to plug into your workflow wherever it’s needed most.
At the end of the day, it’s all about collaboration. You know your project best, and we’re here to enhance it, step by step.
First, we start by understanding your vision. This means getting to know the game, its style, and what makes it unique. Next, we rely on experienced professionals who specialize in concept art, character design, environment modeling, and more.
But here's the real kicker: we don’t do cookie-cutter art. Every asset is custom-made, inspired by your game’s story and style. We research trends, study similar games, and then push ourselves to create something fresh. By maintaining open communication with you throughout, we make sure the final results feel both original and on-brand. It’s all about creating art that players will remember and love.
