Estimation Procedure for Art Outsourcing at RocketBrush Studio
In the dynamic world of game development, creating top-notch visuals is crucial. Here's a step-by-step guide to help partners navigate the game art estimation process in leading concept art studios:
**Step 1: Providing Project Details** Start by sharing essential information about the game, such as its genre, target audience, and key objectives. This sets the context for the art style and direction.
**Step 2: Visual References** Provide examples of artwork or styles that align with the project’s vision, along with any specific images or concepts that inspire the game. Creating a mood board can visually represent the desired atmosphere and aesthetic.
**Step 3: Defining the Level of Detail** Decide whether initial sketches are sufficient for approval or if detailed final art is required from the start. Determine the focus, whether it's environmental art, character design, or both, and plan for a feedback loop to refine the concept art.
**Step 4: Size and Resolution** Specify the desired resolution for the final art pieces, considering how they will be used (e.g., in-game, marketing materials). Decide on file formats and any specific software requirements, and consider if the art will need to be scaled up or down for different platforms.
**Step 5: Understanding Nuances** Communicate the emotional response or mood you want players to experience from the art, and ensure consistency across all art pieces. Establish a clear process for receiving and incorporating feedback from stakeholders.
**Step 6: Execution and Review** Create initial sketches or drafts based on the detailed brief, schedule review sessions to ensure the art meets expectations, and make necessary adjustments. Once approved, finalise the art pieces according to the agreed-upon specifications.
This structured approach ensures that the game art estimation process is thorough, well-defined, and aligned with the project's creative vision and technical requirements. The studio looks forward to creating exceptional game art and graphical assets for the project partner.
Please note that any relevant images can be used as references, including screenshots, in-game art, sketches, concepts, and gameplay gifs. The studio will provide a full art outsourcing estimation within 1-2 business days after collecting all necessary information and references. The studio has expertise in concept art and can handle a variety of assets, such as character art, concept or sketch, animation, VFX, or something else. The number of assets needed for the project is specified, and the game art can be created at any desired level of detail and adjusted according to the art outsourcing estimation.
An NDA can be signed to protect sensitive information, and the game's mechanics and lore are being discussed. The studio is estimating graphical assets for the game, which is in a specific genre and is inspired by other games. A deadline for the work is provided for planning purposes.
In this technological era, complementing the meticulous process of game art estimation with smart-home devices could streamline the workflow between stakeholders. For instance, using voice assistants to discuss project details or gadgets to quickly share visual references, fostering a more efficient collaboration.
When establishing the level of detail for the art pieces, consider utilizing advanced technology to create digital art that caters to various platforms and requirements, with ease and precision.
