Game Art Outsourcing Studio

Game art outsourcing has a number of advantages that allow game developers or producers of other interactive content to create products more efficiently, including:

1. The ability to gain access to a qualified and well-coordinated team of specialists who have the necessary expertise in the required niche, and also have built and debugged processes of interaction within the team.

2. Convenient and quick modification of the current team, including expansion of the team in the event of an increase in the number of tasks or a reduction in the project deadlines, and the selection of qualified specialists to strengthen the current team. In the same way, a quick and painless reduction of the team for existing processes can be carried out after the project is completed and additional resources are no longer needed.

3. A wide choice of specialists and the ability to hire them from anywhere in the world. Most outsourcing teams, including Fgfactory, are adapted to remote processes and provide a diverse range of specialists relevant to business goals.

4. Saving money on a number of expense items that are inevitable in the case of hiring specialists on staff. These include savings on legal and HR costs, no office rental costs, no work equipment and no other office expenses.

While making the choice from the range of game art outsourcing companies, you should first decide on the basic selection criteria, which may include the geolocation of the team (onshore or offshore) and the planned budget for the project. The options for finding a team are generally limited to several possible ones:

1. Search in Google for keywords that match your request.

2. Search for game art services through specialized catalogs that contain and update information about vendors in various fields of activity.

3. By recommendations from reliable sources. If someone has had a positive experience working with a game art outsourcing company, they will most likely be able to give a recommendation.

Based on the results of such a selection, it is worth highlighting several teams (ideally 3-4), which you need to conduct with more detailed interviews to determine the following components:

1. Vision of the project. How much does the service team understand your ideas, and how much does their project vision coincide with yours? In addition, the necessary technical and skill base for performing work within the framework of the required graphic styles and pipelines.

2. Communication and comfort of interaction. Openness in all matters, provision of any requested information, and speed of feedback are the moments that distinguish a highly qualified game art outsourcing team such as Fgfactory from others.

3. Project evaluation. Finally, you need to compare proposals for the cost of work on the project from different teams to form a complete picture and make a choice.

As a result, you can choose the most suitable game art outsourcing company for you.

We work with a large number of visual styles for games. Over more than 14 years of providing game art services, we have developed a portfolio and skills that relate to the following styles of game graphics:

1. Casual 2D or 3D graphics. One of the most common directions is characterized by a bright and saturated color scheme, often focusing on cartoonish shapes and styles.

2. Flat 2D graphics. Simple graphics, without additional detailing, can often be done with vector tools and methods.

3. Stylized 2D or 3D graphics. Specific graphics that differ from others and can have unusual shapes.

4. Semi-realistic 2D or 3D graphics. Stylization at the junction of unrealistic and realistic, showing something in between, not reaching realism, which gives it an even more advantageous look.

5. Realistic 2D or 3D graphics. Visualization with the utmost desire to convey the realism of the picture, characterized by detailed work on lighting, shadows, detailing of materials, and realistic shapes.

You can write us to request examples of game art outsource projects in one of these styles. Or provide your references from other projects that suit you best, and we will be able to select relevant examples from our past cases.

However, selecting a graphic style for a project is often separate from this gradation. More often, the final visual style of the game is a mixture of several directions. The final graphic style for the game is created at the initial stages of either Pre-production or Production of the project. The render quality, lighting, and additional effects and features are selected when concept art is created.

To form a price for creating 2D art or animation, it is worth deciding and detailing the task or set of works as much as possible. Since each art or animation task is unique, no single division and gradation can be used.

A piece of game art can start from $ 100 per unit and reach tens and hundreds of thousands of dollars for volumes of graphic assets and animation for large projects. The cost of work is continuously formed from the assessment of each unit (character, game background or location, object, building, game icon, banner or illustration, interface element, etc.) and the further summation of all assets and game animation services, included in the project.

Thus, it is worth remembering that,
1. There is no single cost, and there is no single price range for game art and animation outsourcing.
2. Work cost is determined per unit of work - each element, object, or character that needs to be made in the project.
3. Having the cost of each piece of work, the project's total cost is formed.

Please feel free to write to us if you have requests for an estimate of the cost of your project work on game art and animation, and our art and animation outsourcing company specialists will be able to provide you with qualified advice and help with the correct assessment of your game project.
