    Posted: 11 October 2005 at 3:48am

I would like to know if someone would be willing to create a pixel art poster for me… But first I need to know how much it would cost?

 

I need it to be approximately 152.4CM X 121.92CM in size

 

It would be a one off job, but you could print out and sell more for extra cash

Present more details about nature of work and someone will post their qoute.

Usually I charge per hour of work. All time estimates are based on specification provided by client.

I advice you to take a look at that article -

(First) I would like to say that I understand how much time and hard work goes into pixel art…
(Second) I wouldn’t even consider asking someone to do it for free

 

Anyway...  I would like a pixel city poster... with lot's of things going on
But I must state that it's just for me! and that I'm just trying to find out how much it would cost...

I would just go to eboy and buy one from his store...  Contacting someone to make something as big as this would be very expensive.

You could be right!

You are talking atleast a few hundred for a quality piece.  Being that scale and having it all pixel art, that is a big big project.  Think about it, the scale you are talking about would include over 15,000,000 pixels...  Check my math, you will find me correct.

Doing an image that size, at a 1:1 ratio, would be like a year-long project...

It would be much more economical to do an image that is proportionate to those dimensions, and just use pixel doubling or such to enlarge it to print size.

Wouldn't that be one fourth of the cost?

I believe that if you want the quality of work showed on exampes above then it would be 'atleast few hundred' when you will use the pixel doubling 'technique' to reach the print size.

If you would want somebody pixelate something like the city directly in print size (about 300 pixels \ inch or more) then the price would be closer to 'few thousand'.

I know you changed your mind, but I just wanted to post this for extra infor on it.

And whoa, holy crap! I was going to see if I could make something this size, but I don't even think my computer could take it. The file would be 109.8 mb and 5999x4799 pixels big! Are you sure you wanted something this size?

If you were to make it much smaller, I'd consider trying it. I'm the slowest artist that every lived though, so you'd probably never see it. For anyone else this would still take half of forever.

(Just realized I'm sort of reviving an old thread and should stop.)

Someday I'll take over the world, just not today...

Nah, a year?

Yea right. Just draw usual isometric box art with not much shading and without the antialias, usual copy-paste. Kind of eboy style, but not exactly...
