Everything you need to know before getting started
Single character designs range from $200–$1,500 depending on complexity and style. Sprite sheets with animations start at $500–$3,000 per character. Full game art packages for indie games range from $5,000–$50,000+. We provide per-asset and project-based quotes.
We work in any 2D style — cartoon, anime/manga, pixel art, flat/minimalist, hand-painted, watercolor, gothic, chibi, western comic, and more. Share references and we'll match or develop a custom style for your game.
Yes. We offer frame-by-frame sprite animation and skeletal animation using Spine and DragonBones. Skeletal animation is more efficient for mobile games, while frame-by-frame delivers the most expressive results.
Absolutely. Send us your existing assets and style guide — we'll produce new art that's visually indistinguishable. We do style-matching tests before starting full production to ensure consistency.
PSD, PNG, SVG, AI for static art. Spine/DragonBones project files for skeletal animation. Packed sprite sheets with JSON/XML atlas data. We adapt to your engine's preferred format.
A single character concept with turnaround takes 3–5 business days. With full sprite sheet animation (8+ actions), expect 1–2 weeks per character. We can run multiple characters in parallel for faster delivery.
