General Discussion / Re: Pixel Art Jobs (and salary)

I been a Lurker here for a while, but I think a few Pixel Artist here have applied for project that we have posted on twitter or Facebook.

Just recently I had a problem and called out the pixel artist that I hired for a project. He would go dark for weeks and would not respond to my emails/skype messages (even when he was online).

This made me send and email saying we would make a paypal claim for our last milestone payment. He responded withing 2-3 minutes saying he miscalculated the quotes and yada yada. I told him is not really about the money, it is about the relationship we want to have with a pixel artist. Communication was crap on his end, and we could not trust him. A simple 2 second email a week or every two weeks saying "update, I didn't do shit this week" would have made me So happy and knowing I'm on the loop. At the end, and after a couple of emails, I felt bad and ended up giving him another opportunity, but I will be a bit more strict.

Anyways, We do something very different, we still produce games for home consoles that are defunct (NES, SNES, Genesis) so we can't really pay much! I always try to pay per character sprite sheet than per hour.

Still can't go to people that charge $20+ per hour because that's about our profit mark per cartridge sold.

However for these platforms you have limitations that sometimes help make sprites easier because you need less frames etc.

Anyways, that's my 2 cents.

Hello, My name is Eli and I run Piko Interactive.

We currently acquired a game which was a Taiwan Exclusive and are working into translating it to English.

We have several things that need to be done like redrawing logos, images, and making a new font in different sizes.

This project can lead to new original project jobs.

We can pay with check mailed to your physical address, paypal, and bank deposit. Paypal is preferred.

There is not really a due date, we are very relaxed on the projects.

Please send us your portfolio and rate through our contact form on our site.

I hope to hear from you all soon.

Thanks!
