Hi, I'm looking for an affordable background pixel artist than can make 3 simple backgrounds. A forest theme background, a cave theme background, and a grass plain background. I'm on a budget and can pay someone $80 to do all three backgrounds (Price is negotiable). If you are interested and want to work on these backgrounds, PM your discord and portfolio so we can chat. I want the background to be simple and nice( not too detailed )
Size of Background: 560 * 480

How large are these backgrounds? Do you have an example of what you mean by "simple"? What sort of backgrounds are they - full scenes or something symbolic, fully drawn or made of tiles, etc?

Quality similar to the references would likely be well over $80 per background at the size listed. Even with reusable tiles, I'd expect closer to $200+ each at that resolution; asking less would be pretty unfair to the artist. An artist would likely take an hour or two to draw up the rough sketch, then an additional 3-5 hours to pixel, and 2-3 hours to clean it up for a total of up to 10 hours. Expected revisions may add another 1-2 hours or more. At your given price-point, you'd be paying $26 per for 10 hours of work, or $2.6 an hour unless the artist is extremely quick.
With the quality expected, most artists would charge $20-30/hour or $15/hour if you find someone who undervalues themselves. Much more realistic is to decrease the size to 280x240 then double it using Nearest Neighbor scaling. Pixel art may still work well at that resolution, plus you'd be decreasing the amount of pixels to a fourth of the amount thus about halving the needed time per asset. That done, $80-100 per BG would be a lot more do-able.
If you don't have the funds to pay more, it might be better to put the artwork on hold or do them in parts, though if you go extremely cheap, you'll likely get equal results. It's cheaper in the long run to go with a fairly-priced option first.
