Drawing for Games

[lemonfruitpie]

Recently someone has approached me about drawing art (on a paid basis) for an online pet game. Should I ask for pay like it was a regular commission (i.e. one time fee)? If anyone has had any experience with this, I'd love to hear about it. Any advice would be much appreciated.

Huh, I dunno. I guess it's hard to ask for an hourly fee since (I assume) it's an online thing... All I can really say is you'll probably want to up your normal fee at least since this art is to be used commercially? :D;;

Yea, that seems to be the general consensus I've been getting. Thanks for the input :D

Seems like a contract position - I'd definitely ask them what their preference is but it's most likely going to be like you said a 'per image' sort of thing

Wow thanks for the advice nai! It helps a lot<3 :] And yea lol I doubt it'll hit over $1000.

What Nainami said. Seriously. Make sure that if you sign a contract that you retain the copyright to the images unless you sell the copyright to them for continued use.
