Our 2D character creation pipeline

Our 2D character design studio works closely with every client to make sure that the design process is as clear and efficient as possible. Continuous communication keeps both sides on the same page, allowing us to meet your every need and expectation.

Discussion

At the start of our cooperation, we learn your requirements toward the project and perform our own internal analysis of what it will take from our side and how we can allocate resources and time.

References and planning

After making sure we are fully equipped to handle your project, we collect any relevant references and additional information about the characters for you and create a document outlining the scope of work and how it will take place.

Preliminary work

When the workflow has been approved by both sides, our team can provide sketches, and concept art for your characters to gauge whether the style and art direction meet your expectations. If anything is not a close match, we can quickly adjust.

Art production

Our artists get to work creating fully-fledged character designs, using approaches like 2D digital painting, making drawings, and others.

Delivery

We deliver the character assets in any format you choose. Furthermore, we can provide additional services like animation, implementation in software, and skinning.

Our Business Models

Fixed Price

You set the budget, we stick to it. The full scope, requirements, terms, and specifications are agreed upon before the start of the project and can’t be changed later.

Time & Material

This flexible model calculates cost based on time and material spent, leaving room for changes to the budget and scope of the project over time.

Dedicated Team

A complete team (or a single expert from our staff) joins your existing specialists on the project. This team stays under your management and can be scaled up/down over time.

FAQ

Where do I hire a character artist?

There are many options for hiring artists, but not all of them are a good fit for every business. For example, hiring from a local talent market can take weeks and onboarding — even longer. Freelancers are also a risky option since there is no assurance that their work will be done on time and at the level of quality you expect.

With that in mind, finding a good specialist is easy as can be if you partner with 3D-Ace. We have a large team of capable artists, including those with years of experience creating beautiful characters for all manner of games and media.

What are the benefits of outsourcing character design with 3D-Ace?

3D-Ace is a reliable outsourcing provider that strives to mix value and speed to offer our clients only premium-quality products. We ensure accessible and competitive rates, thereby reducing project costs below what they would traditionally be if you hired teams locally. Furthermore, we have a team of specialists ready to go, so work on the process can kick off in a matter of days. We bet on flexibility in our cooperation. So the team of your choice can be expanded or reduced depending on any needs.

We did an advertising 3D video animation of medicines for a pharmaceutical company with 3D-Ace. I’ve known them for years as a company with good pricing and speed, broad skillset and sufficient size to take on larger projects if needed.
