xelander Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 I'm just saying, you need to do 100 paperdolls for you to earn 10$? That's… You might as well just do it for free at that point... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kibbelz Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 No artist will do that deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solstice Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 I think you're wrong there, some "artists" will do that deal, only problem is, they won't be artists - lmao.Even if you were a speed demon motherfucker, keyboard shortcutting through a pd every 5 minutes, you're still only earning like, $1.20 p/hour.

Matt Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Good luck finding someone to work for that rate. $0.10 per frame might be more reasonable, but still seems a tad bit low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzy Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 i think he meant $1,000.00 per paperdoll. Sorry guys for the mix up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andiii Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 I can probably find 10 cents out in the streets in the time it takes me to paperdoll lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzy Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 ^ lmao…. I mean you can't blame him for trying. Possible post more about your project therehere3 and maybe someone will do it for free for the interest fact alone. (: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mohenjo Daro Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Therehere3, try talking to artists about what price they'll do it for and then negotiate, this is ripping them off XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonello Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 I'd suggest raising the amount you'd pay them to at least $1-3 per paperdoll. I'm not much of a paperdoller but from other prices on the forum it seems somewhat reasonable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not much of a paperdoller but from other prices on the forum it seems somewhat reasonable.No way in hell should a simple paperdoll be $1 per paperdoll.. I guess I am just going to have to do them myself since it only takes me about 1minute per paperdoll…. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helladen Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 You should do at-least $5 per paperdoll and that is even low. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helladen Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 > I think this is what he means by a "paperdoll" done in a minute.> > > > Yes, you are still being kind of ripped off. It should be at-least $0.50 per paperdoll if you are repositioning each frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I am just going to have to do them myself since it only takes me about 1minute per paperdoll….Paperdolls take quite a bit longer than one minute of work. It took me at least 10-15 minutes just to make an axe paperdoll and properly line it up with the sprite. So even $1 is still pretty low. Thats about $4 an hour and in that hour I could make double working at a fast food restaurant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xelander Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Thing is, you not only need to spend time cutting properly according to the position, occasionally redraw them depending on the equipment, but you also need to position it well, and then test it.Also, 1$ is not a lot of money, if you can't scratch up more than a budget of 20$ then why even bother getting someone to do it?

The paperdoll you want just looks like a sword floating in front of him.Instead of just copy-pasting the same weapon over and over for each frame, I actually redraw the weapon for each frame.A sword in an idle position is different than a sword in a moving position.

Only difference is your front draw is different.And I see your shield paperdoll is offset alittle becuase the shield is cut-off a little on the right. (just incase you didn't catch that. just being helpful not rude) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andiii Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 The cutoff is to make it look at it curves in the back. If you're content with that style, then I have nothing else to say. Just don't expect anyone to take the position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
