2D Game Art Outsourcing

2D art is artwork drawn on a flat, two-dimensional surface with just height and width, no depth. Game-wise, that’s your characters, backgrounds, menus, and props. It comes in different styles: minimalistic, monochromatic, pixelated, doodle, cutout, vector, and others.

1. Timeless aesthetic. 2D game art always stays in demand. It is unaffected by the ongoing development of 3D graphics technology because it actually doesn’t attempt to achieve photorealism.
2. Wider audience. 2D games are less demanding on players’ hardware. Hence, more people can enjoy your creations on older devices, low-spec PCs, and most importantly, on the go via phones.
3. Unique brand identity. Unlike 3D that depicts realistic environments, 2D game art provides millions of creative possibilities, especially in stylized forms like Stardew Valley (pixel art) or Hollow Knight (hand-drawn).
4. Fast development & lower price. 2D art development companies have faster art pipelines, smaller teams, and iterate and prototype more swiftly than 3D studios. On top of that, the production cost is significantly cheaper.

• Specialized talent. When outsourcing 2D game art, you get access to a worldwide network of artists who focus on particular 2D styles. Dedicated 2D art studios usually produce more polished work than in-house teams because they bring established pipelines, quality control procedures, and cross-project expertise.
  
• Cost-efficiency. Overhead expenses related to full-time employment are mitigated through 2D game art outsourcing. You can receive top-notch work at affordable prices without having to pay for permanent staff.
  
• High scalability. Art production needs often change throughout development. When outsourcing 2D game art services, team size and production can be adjusted to your requirements. This flexibility makes it easier to respond to scope changes while keeping timelines and output under control.
  
• Everything in one place. Concept art, sketching, polished 2D assets, smooth animation, and UI design are all available under one roof at our 2D art company. From the first concepts to the game’s release, we support you at every stage of the creative process and offer full art support.

Working with Gamepack, you savor all the benefits of a 10-year art expertise combined with the endless pool of creativity. With us, your game gets the iconic look it deserves. Contact us to start creating magic together!

The time estimate for 2D game art outsourcing services varies for each specific game. Here are the key factors that determine the production length:

• Art style & detail. Basic shapes, limited color palettes, and low resolution require less time to produce. On the other hand, highly rendered, hand-painted visuals or a realistic art style will have higher time estimates.
  
• Asset type & amount. Simple icons and UI elements take less time to develop than environments and characters, which require concept work, multiple layers, and detailed rendering.
  
• Animation. Motion means extra time: our 2D art studio will be busy working our magic to make every icon and character move just right.

To give you a rough idea, medium-scale projects like UI sets may take 2-4 weeks, while larger projects with environments or character lineups take 8 weeks or longer. Once we know your needs, we always give you a timeline up front so you know exactly what to expect. Drop us a message and we’ll estimate the project’s time for you!

With Gamepack, it’s quite simple. You don’t have to comb through job platforms and wonder which specialty you need.

1. You reach out with your project’s art style guide, moodboard, or just an idea. It should also include an asset list (e.g., 5 characters, 2 backgrounds, 20 props).
   
2. Our Art Director and Project Manager assemble the heroes with suitable skill sets for your desired art style and asset type. They also provide a detailed price quote and a timeline for the entire project.
   
3. After the contract with our 2D art development company is signed, we start the production right away. Throughout the project, our team sends regular updates so that you always stay in the loop. We handle all file optimization and quality control and deliver game-ready assets directly to your title.
