I have being asked to make some pixel art for a static construction game. I am an illustrator, but it is my first work on that field (pixel art), and I don't know how much I should earn. Here you have some examples of the work: http://postimg.org/image/uteollyun http://postimg.org/image/g1ek80ib3 http://postimg.org/image/5r7jv131r http://postimg.org/image/x32swd7sf http://postimg.org/image/6n41ahcq7 http://postimg.org/image/4727wmunj http://postimg.org/image/fyuol6enj http://postimg.org/image/oie2ixmzz http://postimg.org/image/j9j1l24kv http://postimg.org/image/jsey2uh7z http://postimg.org/image/fkk5u3fsf http://postimg.org/image/nepct8cz3 http://postimg.org/image/fah8ohqjz http://postimg.org/image/hy6oyujlb http://postimg.org/image/7lkecrq27 http://postimg.org/image/ubjj5r99r It takes 0.5 - 1.5 hours for me to finish each one, but I don't know if it's fair to use the time as a factor, because sometimes it depends on the difficulties I find due to my inexperience. So, please: How much I should earn for each image? Or how much would you pay for this kind of images? What's your advice? Thank you in advance. Edit: I have tried to put correctly the images, but the link appear as broken ?  |

Choose a price you're comfortable with. I wouldn't necessarily go by experience to determine the cost, since everyone has different experience. It depends more on the work I think. You work looks pretty well polished. I would definitely not go below $15/hr.. $15 would probably be on the very low end.. $30 and up would be on the high end I think, but it depends how much you value your work and how much people desire it.. everyone has a slightly different price model. This is just my opinion anyways, and might be good to get a few from various people. |

Those aren't pixel art.
They're downrezzed drawings or vectors. ------------- ▄▄█ ▄▄█ ▄█▄ ▄█▄ |
