Which art guy should i take on?

ownage11

I saw a guy that has done really nice 3d game art, whos offereing me 115$ to do an art piece for me, and another who i saw would do it for 125$ but i saw on his portfolio that he has experience already with apps and animation for apps also. The 115$ guy is offerring to have me not pay until i see his work, but i would really feel bad for him to do the entire thing and not get paid. Really the price doesnt matter all because their really close.

Hello,

It looks to me like the guy you should go with is the one with previous experience in art for apps. It also sounds like the first guy has done great 3d art, but if you are planning to use GameSalad, that wont matter. You are going to want to go with the guy who is better at 2d art, as GameSalad is only a 2d platform. Hope this helps!

not really, you can always prerender out the 3d and could get some nice looks that way. but yeah i would go with the artist who's work you like best. look at samples.

art is so subjective … more how it makes you feel … than the actual look

Leonardo Da Vinci only had a portfolio of about 16 completed paintings

so go with the artist that has examples that excite you!

never worry about an artist that does work …
but only wants payment, if you are satisfied with the work
… if you aren't they will add that work to their portfolio and have the opportunity to sell to someone else.

IMO I would chose the one who is willingly to make changes, if the piece doesn't fit in your game … or the sizes/colors/orientations need changes
