Frequently Asked Questions

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.

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.

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.

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.

  1. Scope Review: you send us the scope, and we clarify priorities and keynotes.
  2. Estimation: we provide time and cost estimates, with room for discussion to align on a solution.
  3. Kick-off: once approved, we begin work.
  4. Progress Updates: you receive progress updates every few days via Slack, Miro, or Figma. Your feedback is used to guide further iterations.
  5. Completion: once you’ve given your final approval, we request the remaining balance and deliver all source files and assets.

You’ll be working closely with two key members of our team:

  • BDM (Business Development Manager): responsible for invoicing, payments, and overall collaboration feedback.
  • Project Manager: manages the day-to-day progress, keeping you in close contact with the team and the artists.

Yeap, we’d be happy to complete a test task to fit in with your vision and pipeline. For smaller tasks, we can bundle all costs into a single invoice for ease.
