I asked him to change his style quite a bit from his normal work. He normally does skeletons and monsters and stuff... In fact, thats where I will eventually have him fix a few things. Some of the eyes, etc... Still look evil! lol... Btw, he only did like a few RO sprites.
But, really... The question is, what is a fair price for work like this?
I'm having him mock-up some 2d sprites that are "similair" to maplestory to see how good he is at that. A friend of mine might have a job for him. :/

I just lucked out with a pretty darn good pixel artist (In my opinion) who did sprite work in Ragnarok. I pay him way too little to critique his work and have him do cleanup yet...

He has done approx 300 sprites/images so far, and when he's done it will be around 500. What do you think would be an "actual" fair payment for this type of work? He did all this work for a mere 1.5k... LoL! Indonesians who work for too little... If my game gets off the ground I will be sure to give him a bonus. Game formulas are pretty tricky...
Please don't take this the wrong way but, looking at the picture.. I believe you didn't hire a guy who made sprites for Ragnarok online.
