What are the going rates....
Hi
what are the industry going rates for artwork for mobile games? is there a industry survey like the GAG artists guild has one about rates and all ?
there are two things an artist will price...one is art concept. The other is production work, sprites, etc....I know for production, folks prefer to charge an hourly rate.
I was asked before by a Studio to do art for mobile app or game, but while I would know how to charge for a console game, a logo, or graphic design project, I'm haviing a hard time with some people's arguments in the mobile industry that, " you can't charge the same because well sell our games for 0.99, and we may not even make money " So i call it the 0.99 argument ahahahah.
I kinda know that some iphone games can make as much as a console game. Even the indie developers seem to do quite well....
any opinions?

$100+ for map layouts (about 4 screens in size)
$100+ for a 15-20 state character animation.
Of course these prices are out of Asia...not the US or Europe.
that's from asia?
Not bad if you think, 100 - 300 for a splash and 100 for a character animation, like a walking cycle , a sprite..... It may be possible that some artists in US /europe would price around that... unless they are famous....
You know what is interesting ...i've seen overseas designers charging as much US/ europe designers.
Tshirtbooth, you do almost everything yourself....ahahahha.
we are doing this totally alone need to be the artist, programmer, the coffee maker and cleaning lady or what have you ahahaha...
But hey tshirt, maybe when you'll become famous and rich, then you can hire some ahahah
We were quoted $250 for a full process including a sketch, then a color layout draft/workup, then a final polished version with unlimited reviews/revisions in between. That was about 3 images in one...so it was priced out more.
Plus the image we requested was 4 times the size of an iPod screen...so we can use it on the web and in print too.
