I need to commission a professional artist for a private game-based organization website!. (the level of detail on par with some comic books)
I am a bit ignorant in the art field and was curious what a reasonable budget would be; as well as how a mass art commission is commonly paid (ie: lump sum before or after completion of project, per piece, per hour)!.
If you need an idea of what the project consists of in order to determine an appropriate answer!.!.!.!. I am looking for the following:
-4 thumbnails/buttons for different sections of the website!.
-Background work for a main page banner!.
-4 small-sized banners for different sections of the website!.
-Detailed concept art consisting of roughly 6 hero characters!. (5 of which with three tiers of clothing and equipment which can be layered on top of each other for simplicity)
-Three scenes featuring a couple of these featured characters!.
-A portrait featuring the main character in a napoleon-like pose, mostly everyone's seen the painting (Napoleon Crossing the Alps)
Any information you can provide would be great; most of the work we do is voluntary and while we are on a tight budget I don't want to be cheap and underpay the artist!.!.!.
