Pavel and his team proved that their skills are very valuable addition to our development skills. We’re working on the 5th project together now and just this speaks for itself. They are able to provide their own creative vision of the project, or easily follow instructions if needed (opposed to some other contractors).

They proved to be able to deliver art on time and under time pressure (art for The Perfect Tree, ordered way too late). I hope that RSG won’t get overwhelmed with clients as I certainly want to work with them on more projects.

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.

Hiring a character artist can be considered when developing a video game that heavily relies on characters to tell its story, engage players, or create a unique visual identity.

Character artists are especially crucial for games with intricate narratives, open worlds, RPG elements, or games that prioritize character customization.
Their expertise ensures that the characters are visually appealing, consistent with the game’s theme, and resonate with the target audience.

  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.

Outsourcing character design can offer several advantages, such as:

  • Expertise: Access to a wider pool of skilled artists with specialized knowledge in character design.
  • Cost-Effectiveness: Outsourcing can be more cost-effective than maintaining an in-house team, especially for short-term projects.
  • Flexibility: Easily scale up or down depending on project needs, without long-term commitments.
