Art Resources Providers

SUNCHIRP

Hi,

I'm thinking of dabbling in the provision of art resources for game developers, and was wondering if I could get some honest opinions and feedback on the idea.

My concerns are that the market for this type of artwork is very limited, due to most developers not wanting bits'n'bobs artwork, but full artwork for games that fit very specific designs, thus limiting what I could sell . I know there is already a few art resource providers already out there, but I don't know if it's something that is bringing in pocket money or money to get by on, I've researched some of the companies that do this type of work in the UK, using a company checking website, and some of the financials posted have been poor at best, I know that almost answers my own question, but would still like to hear any more opinions on the subject, because I'm quite confused as to take the leap on this or not as I'd be looking at it from a full time role if I went ahead.

Thanks for listening, hope to hear back !

There are people who do it full time and make good money and people who do it as a hobby who also get good money. If your artwork is good and you price it correctly there are a lot of people who buy individual game assets. Also you could sell art packs with multiple assets within a theme so it won't be as "bits'n'bobs" if you'd like.

Thanks, Hapiapps

Can you point me in the direction of some of the more successful ones you know of ?

I believe I can make good product, but don't want to waste effort in an market that doesn't pay well, so would be good for me to possibly contact these people and garner some more opinions from those who've been more successful in this field.

Thanks
