The hardest thing for me was knowing how much time an artist needs per frame. Everyone I've worked with before has been extremely slow. As I'm not an artist, I can't tell them how fast they should be producing work.

So I guess I have a quick question- How fast should your typical artist be producing work for you? I'm not quite sure how to gauge what is considered an acceptable work rate.

Why the hell don't all of us programmers go on strike and quit paying those greedy bastards? Let's learn how to do pixel art ourselves and gather around to share our knowledge, teaching each other what tricks we've learned. We'll show those punks.

Yes, just yes! Bby just like a swiss army knife.

@Yut Put, You actually went and learned for that reason? Did you have any artistic abilities beforehand? That's quite an accomplishment.

It's quite common in my experience yes. I learned in the same way, didn't want to pay so i learned.

Salute to Vix and Yut Put. I'm doing the same thing myself.

See, now I'm inspired to do the same! Haha, it's really cool to see people being able to fill both skill sets and actually being good at what they do.

Or you could just all be smart and make friends who are pixel artists and they might actually do some work for you for free? that's usually how shit happens ya'know o.o If you don't wanna be paying.

I can draw without any experience. It just takes me 6 - 12 hours. Probably even more. I end up giving up because when I program it does not take me long at all to make a simple script. What makes it long is when I get distracted by the internet though... But, with art... I need to learn a damn shortcut!!!

That's terrible. I was looking forward to zombieville as well, you know that project where you genetically clone and grow human body parts then forcibly turn them into zombies using "mad science".
