Hello Everyone,
I have been lurking for a while, reading on several of the disccusion topics for a few months now, while creating my game. Some of the suggestions I've found very helpful, or help overcome a road block in the design. At present, I have a alpha build of a game, the play testers enjoy. I'm now trying to find a graphic artist for the artwork needed.
A) How much does a graphic artist pay by the hour? Lump sum?
B) What do I need, besides some samples and a discription of the art, to make sure the work is 'mine' in the end?
C) What if the artist does work, but its not exactly what I had in mind; do I still have to pay for it?
D) Anyone you would recommend? Or that I could see their portfolio online?
Could I just visit a local art college, and hunt down poor, starving artists? I rather stay ethical and honest, then prey on said 'poor and starving artists'.
