Frequently Asked Questions
What do you need to get started?
We need a very clear scope of work: kind of tasks, quantity of assets, and deadlines. Furthermore, we will discuss preferences, priorities, and other critical details with you.
At the very least, we need your idea or requirements and a quality reference. The more detailed the art briefs, the technical specs, and the scope of work, the easier and faster it will be.
What payment methods do you accept?
We mainly accept bank transfers to our LLC. We’re also open to PayPal and cryptocurrency payments. If you have another preference, let us know- we’ll explore it.
Which communication platforms do you use?
We generally work via Slack, Discord, Telegram, or Skype. If needed for secure communication, we can switch to email or your company’s preferred platform.
How do you calculate the cost of the work?
We estimate the cost by our artist’s day rate-8 hours a day. If the project is bigger and requires more urgency to finish on time, we use more team members.
