Commisioning sprites?

[LordOtaku]

Hello all, I was wondering if any of the great artists we have here for sprite work feel about accepting a commission? I want to get into Mugen character cretion but my art ability is....well crap. If you feel like it just post what you feel a fair price would be for sprites and sheets and stuff of that nature and we'll talk. Actually commissioning for me is up in the air on a date because I'm low on money for now. So right now I'm just looking for options and a general idea what it would cost me.

Whatever the character is, $40.85 and I'll sprite it for you.

, dude, we don't charge for sprite work, it's just a hobbie. And I suggest you post what character(s) you are interested in working on, that's really how you get people to work on a project with you, because if they're interested in spriting it, they'll most likely join, good luck finding help.

Yeah thats true, I have a hard time watting to work on a request or a comission unless im really intrested in working on it...

[LordOtaku]

Well true, but at the same time fanart is done for a hobby and so is translating manga, and it can be commisioned for both. Its a fair trade for services if people don't like the idea.

Its human female sonic. I want to use the Midnight Bliss verison on youtube but I'm waiting on a reply from the author.

Is it better to ask 40 dollars a pop and I use you once or maybe 20 dollars if I wanted more characters. Its all up in the air whats a fair trade at this point.

1 sprite sheet is considered a work of art so about $500.00 for a sprite sheet, I think that's the going price of pop art by an unknown artist when presented in a gallery. As for programming ,that's by the hour with paid lunches, I think $30.00 an hour is good for an experienced programmer.

Trust me, I asked him to code a character for me once, he's not joking.

that's why they can afford to give out their mugen projects for free.

[LordOtaku]

Well I'm grateful for the replys, even if the idea is apperently silly to people. I just know and have done it on occasion in other areas such as fanart and manga translation. I'm working with a friend and we both know basic so programing is no problem. Unfortantly together we may have the ability to draw a stick figure. I'll announce the project in a few weeks if we decide to do this and maybe we will find someone who wants to work with us.

If someone would do a paid commission let me know in this thread though.

Dude... all you have to do is ask for sprites... If people don't give you permission find another source... lmao....

[Nestor]

I think he's talking about custom sprites... it's like if I would ask for CvS Nero sprites. Maybe I could get a pair, but not all the 500+ sprites needed to make a complete char.
IIRC, Andres Borghi already did a character for some who asked him, but don't know the cost.

[ATiC3]

Oh... so he wants to pay to "hire" a spriter...??

I believe it was somewhere in the ballpark of $2200, but it was also part of some branding campaign as far as I can tell.

MUGEN IS NOT ABOUT MONEY!!!

Let me put it this way, in order for me to make 1000 sprites for a character it has to be something I enjoy working on. As much as i enjoy Sonic the hedgehog, characters, games, cartoon. I couldn't really see me making those characters for mugen. At least not for under $10,000 each... You have to find someone that has a love of the concept, so they will just help you for free.
