Working With an Art Outsourcing Studio

You need a concept design, key art, or illustrations: here we are! A studio like Goodname can be a great support when your art team’s workload is particularly heavy, – and more than an extra pair of hands when you want a creative partner on the project. We are experts in 2D art, and we do it at its finest. If you never worked with an art outsourcing studio, you may have a lot of questions: how does it work? Who chooses the artists working on my project? Will I be in touch with them directly? Let’s answer these main questions together.

People often call this art department outsourcing or concept art outsourcing, but the studios we work with longest treat it as a partnership rather than a staffing gap. Alongside capacity, we bring art direction, visual problem-solving, and an understanding of your IP’s voice and audience.

Safety and Reactivity

To maintain optimum working conditions and high security, the whole team works in-house and uses secure IT systems. Your confidential information is in safe hands with us! The process between your company and ours is made easy and quick. Indeed, our management team together with Art Director will make sure to create a solid bond between our clients and our team. They gather all the information needed for our clients to get the high-quality service expected, and our artists to work in good conditions.

Adaptability

We usually choose which artist works on which project, but we can also give samples of artists’ works for the client to choose from. After that, we can set up a call with an artist working on a client’s project to talk further about the task. As long as you provide references in your brief and you set your expectations clearly, it will be easy for us to reach them.

With a team of a dozen 2D artists coming from various backgrounds, we adapt easily to your needs. You can see a sample of what we can do here. We are used to tight schedules, so it isn’t a problem for us if you are in a rush. If an artist can’t finish a task on time, others will join to take after him. Teamwork is important at our studio; we work and evolve together! If you’re not sure about the style we can offer multiple artists to create numerous styles and concepts in a short amount of time.

Because the same team handles concept art outsourcing, game art outsourcing and 2D art outsourcing for illustrations and key art, we build real familiarity with your world over time — the style, the tone, what has worked before and what hasn’t. That accumulated context is what separates a partner from a vendor.

Being in contact with a 2D art studio that has your back if you have a tough deadline can save a lot of time and energy for your company. That’s why our clients become our partners’ we manage to build a trustful collaboration bit by bit! For further questions, you can always check out our Contact Page.

If you’re weighing up art outsourcing studios, the question worth asking isn’t only who has capacity — it’s who will bring something to the project beyond execution. Send us your brief and we’ll tell you how we’d approach it, including where we’d challenge it.
