The future of workflow
Our game art studio primarily focuses on the visual style variability provided by the team, close interaction with developers, Art Lead support, process flexibility, the ability to expand or reduce the team in the shortest possible time, as well as comprehensive support during the project.
Deep expertise within various graphics styles and pipelines
Studying the project materials, our team together with Art Lead defines the requirements for the graphic style, the necessary pipelines for work, as well as suitable specialists from the art team who are most suitable for the task. Having a wide range of opportunities in various directions and styles of game graphics, the project team is selected in such a way as to most accurately meet the requirements. If the initial data and goals are unclear, we can pick and recommend options that best suit the idea of the project and its business goals. In addition, during production, there is always the opportunity to adjust, change, or add graphic requirements.
Closed collaboration with developers for assets integration
Developing graphics for game projects requires close interaction between art, design, and animation teams with game developers, who then integrate assets into the project. We ensure full cooperation between teams and synchronization of processes at all stages of development: during initial pipeline planning, further creation taking into account the requirements of developers, at the integration stage to make the necessary adjustments and smooth implementation, and at the end of integration to check the correctness of the implementations, refinement, updating, and polishing of game assets in the engine.
Art Lead supervision and assistance for every project
The Art Lead participates in the project from the moment of work evaluation, and then at each stage carries out internal quality control, art direction, approval of both intermediate and final results. Each art and animation project requires an individual approach, selection of the right pipelines, correct evaluation and a relevant team of artists, designers and animators. Here our Art Lead plays a key role, providing comprehensive support on the project. Further work on creating game assets and animations is carried out under regular control and supervision of a qualified Art Lead specialist, as well as finalization and internal approval of the results.
Flexible approach to ensure smooth process and compliance
We use an individual approach to each task and flexible project management methods, allowing us to build the workflow as efficiently as possible and align with requirements and business goals. The uniqueness of each project is always a challenge in game development. Still, a flexible approach allows us to adapt to the specifics of each request and ensures that the final result matches the original expectations. The company's specialists have a diverse background, allowing them to understand each request's specifics in the shortest possible time and ensure a smooth process of creating a game product.
Opportunity to expand the team in the shortest possible time
Our practice includes the ability to adapt a project team to changing conditions, for example, related to a reduction in the timeline or an unexpected increase in the number of tasks. Such cases often require expanding the team working on the project in the shortest possible time, while existing pipelines, processes, quality, and work speed should not suffer. We have both multiple experience and technical and organizational capabilities and resources for the rapid expansion of the project team. New specialists can become part of both the existing team within Fgfactory and a third-party team that is attracted to develop the project.

FAQ
If you have general questions about graphics and animation development, or the information is not enough for you, please read the Frequently Asked Questions on creating graphics and animation for games. Also, feel free to write to us if you have more specific questions.
Game art outsourcing is a common practice of transferring design and art work on a project to another company, or, more correctly, a game art studio, which specializes in this area and takes responsibility for completing the agreed work under the contract.
You can transfer the project to a contractor team in full so that the selected studio completes the project on a turnkey basis from start to release and transfers the final source files for further distribution of the product, or partially, allocating a limited amount of work, which, for example, has certain specifics or requires a special list of skills.
A common practice is when the customer company specializes only in art and design, so it outsources programming and integration to another team that specializes in development. Or, conversely, the company only has an engineering department and programming expertise, so game art is outsourced to a team that specializes in graphics development.
Companies such as Fgfactory are fully specialized in outsourcing services and perform a full range of tasks for the development of mobile, browser and desktop games including 2D, 3D graphics, animation, interface, programming of game engines, server development, testing and support.
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.
