Hi, to all of you that are experienced in Character sketching or drawing, here is
what I need: A few Human Characters in SciFi Style, and 2 DIFFERENT Character
types is Special Forces style, so SWAT or FBI. I need them as reference images
for modelling so a front view and a side view will be necessery for this. My
Idea of payment is following:

If the game will be sold (comercial):
I am really planning on selling the game so
if you give me at least 5 different Characters, 5 male and 5 female, plus 2
different SWAT of FBI Style character types I will pay you about 25-50$ (depends on quality).

If the game will be Free (Freeware):
I doubt that it will but just in case, then I canot pay you for this project,
but I will menchan your name Bold in the credits and will pay you in my
next comercial title with the same paying concepts as shown above.

I hope anybody is interested and thank you for your time,

wow, that would be around 1 to 10 €cents an hour. thats pretty much

I dont mean the models Potter, only the 10-20 minute Skech for use as a reference Image.

<edit> Please nevermind on this, the project was cancelled!

You need to be more Realistic on your requests. Even a good Concept Artist will not go that cheap unless you want what you pay for which will be like you said a 10-20 min job. I know good concept art does not get completed in 10-20 mins unless you want a sloppy job. It might be a canceled job but I can take you to other Job forums besides this one and you post something like this .... they will just laugh at you. Something to think about.

Thank yo ufor the advise, but I just need basic sketching, and I know of my own
experience that sketching is about 10-20min PER SKETCH.

Show us a 20 minute sketch.

that questio nwas kind of redicilous, because why should I hire somebody if my sketches would be good? My drawing skills are not very good, and maybe that is why but I think that a professional concept artist can do a drawing in about 20 minutes.

Hmm.. i must say that if you are going to design a character then make it detailed and then have it in 2 different views and that mush the same character that you really can use it as an reference image and in an that good quality so you can see how it is supposed to look like it is about a minimum of 6 hours for each character... but if the character design is going to be realistic you have to make researches about how things work and then make a design from that and then it will take more time... I must say that that prise you said there is low.. Not even worth the time to scan them and send them...
But I can only speak for me… ad a 0 on that MAYBE payment and it should sound interesting...

I see where you're comming from OA_Sylver. You're obviouselly not looking to hire a professional, but I'm sure there are plenty of aspiring artists with talent who'd do it as a favor and pocket $30. I used to do this all the time.

No reason to flame a guy when he says he'll pay a little, there's plenty of people who ask this (and much more) for free.

As for sketches, I've worked with plenty of artists who can sketch quick pencil poses and what not and scan them in, in under a half hour.

Sorry can't help you much, but good luck, and sorry to hear your project was cancelled.
