Starting prices for custom pixel art and animation in USD. Every project receives a written quote confirming its scope, price, revisions, deliverables, and timeline before payment.
Scope and RevisionsThe written quote confirms sizes, designs, directions, animations, frame counts, deliverables, price, timeline, and included revisions. Two revision rounds are included unless stated otherwise. New concepts or work outside the approved scope will be quoted separately. Artist errors are corrected free of charge.
PaymentProjects under $100 are paid in full upfront. Projects of $100 or more require a 50% deposit and 50% after approval, before unwatermarked delivery. Large projects may use paid milestones. Payment is accepted through PayPal, Wise, or bank transfer.
Workflow and TimelineThe usual workflow is Sketch, Color and Shading, Animation, then Final Export. Work begins after payment, complete references, and technical requirements are received. Revisions, response time, weekends, and public holidays are excluded from estimates.
Files and DeliveryOne agreed PNG layout is included. Extra formats or layouts may cost more. Editable files are included only when purchased or quoted. Final files are stored for at least 60 days, so clients should download and back them up.
Commercial UseBase rates are for personal use. A 20% standard license covers non-exclusive use in one named commercial project and its marketing. The artist retains copyright. Resale, redistribution, sublicensing, merchandise, sequels, exclusivity, and copyright transfer require a separate agreement. Rights begin after full payment.
Cancellation and InactivityBefore work begins, refunds exclude transaction fees. After work begins, the deposit is non-refundable. If the artist cancels, unfinished work is refunded. Projects may be paused after 14 days without a response and rescheduled after 30 days.
Portfolio and NDACompleted work may be shown after public release. NDA and portfolio confidentiality are available when agreed before work begins.
