Why Our 2D Art Outsourcing Services?
We are perfectionists by nature and can’t even deliver a bad game design even if asked to! An ugly art annoys our brains more than you 😀
Several times, a client was happy with a piece of art, but we were not, so we designed it again from scratch at our own expense.
You will be constantly updated to share your comments, apply any changes to the 2D art, and ensure we are on the right track. An exclusive account manager will be allotted to your project, who will manage our proper communication and respond to messages quickly. They are always available, on-call, and ready to jump on a meeting with you, even on weekends.
2D art design is not only an art but also a science. Our skilled artists know and follow the required principles, including human anatomy, shape language, color theory, etc., in creating art.
Our talented artists are gamers by nature and know the ins and outs of the game industry by heart and gaming experience. Our common sense here comes into play and helps us have easier and more effective communication.
Success Stories
ABOVE OUR EXPECTATIONS
It has now been a few months that we have been working with Pixune Studios and the quality they deliver is truly impressive. From the start, they have been understanding our vision and providing 3D animations that were above our expectations. We are already engaging ourselves in a long term partnership.
VERY CUSTOMER-ORIENTED
Design quality and animation work were very good for character briefs and every feedback was taken into consideration. As a result, high quality design was received within a defined time frame, and Pixune was very responsive in terms of delivering our needs. They have taken everything into consideration to reflect our needs and delivered a successful project In a defined timeframe. They are very customer-oriented and try to help your activities as much as possible. Instead of taking money and running, they are like teammates for us.
NO BUGS AND NICE GRAPHICS
I hired Pixune to develop a sample runner game in Unity. The process was very smooth due to their experience, and their suggestions were always helpful. It was a bit over budget, but the results were excellent. The sample game had no bugs and nice graphics. The project was finished 3 weeks before the deadline. I hired two freelancers on Upwork before Pixune for a similar project and not only they were months late over the deadline, but the results were also very bad. So, I have to say I'm quite pleased with hiring Pixune.
CONTINUE TO HIRE THEM FOR OTHER PROJECTS
There's an old saying that when it comes to hiring people you can look for "good," you can look for "reliable," or you can look for "affordable"... but you won't be able to find somebody who is all three. In Pixune's case, I feel they come the closest of anybody I've dealt with over the past years of our company's existence. I've been really happy with Pixune. I originally hired them in the Fall of 2022 for game development and was happy enough with them that I continue to hire them for other projects, even ones that fall outside of the original reason I contacted them. Besides game development, I've had them do web design work for our site. They're very flexible, accommodating, and extremely reliable.
HIGH PRODUCTION STANDARDS IN MINIMUM TIME
Our project of character design was complex and required high production standards in minimum time. The results I received were of the highest standards, and the work was very professional. Highly recommended!
BETTER THAN THE REFERENCE
The quality of the art received was really impressive after the team came up with ideas and improvements all the time for the characters. Being timely and attentive to details is great but their passion and involvement in our project were amazing! We will surely collaborate again. The team is very passionate and we were amazed when we got the final result which was better than the reference we provided, a reference that we really liked. I can say that we loved their work and that they are able to take an idea and bring it to life thanks to the passion they are working with and the perfect communication they are providing until the best result is reached.
HIGHLY COOPERATIVE PEOPLE
The Pixune team is full of kind, excellent, considerate, empathetic, talented, and highly cooperative people. The quality of the work that was received was outstanding, however it did take multiple iterations to reach that level. Some instructions were missed, but were fixed - it just lengthened the process and the schedule.
HIT EVERY DEADLINE
Awesome work. Great communication. Was really happy with Pixune and how great this project came out. Hit every deadline, and even when we needed to change directions a bit, he was able to still hit the deadline. We will certainly be working with Pixune again.
PUT EXTRA EFFORT INTO THE PROJECT
They are very eager to satisfy the client's requirements. Their communication is perfect and also understanding of the required output is on point. They put extra effort into the project to get it completed in time and have a skilled team and your project is safe in their hands. I will definitely work with them in the future. Best of luck guys great working with you.
SURELY COME BACK AGAIN
This guy did really good work, he really did amazing art and even after the artist finished he wasn't happy with it so he did it all over again from scratch. I really recommend him and will surely come back again. (this is already the second time)
THE END RESULT WAS WORTH
This was a great experience overall. He took time to actually understand what was needed to deliver the project that I was asking for. Modelers tend to rush because they think they know what the client want, but Pixune went over to clarify the specifics. It required a little more time than we agreed on. However, the end results was worth an extra few days. Trust me...it's worth waiting a few more days, than to have something you don't like at the end. I highly recommend to anybody reading this review. And I look forward working with Pixune again. Thank You!
THE RESULT FAR EXCEEDED MY EXPECTATIONS
I've worked with many illustrators and I've never had such an amazing experience! The results far exceeded my expectations, communication was great, and very flexible and willing to please. I'll definitely use them again for more projects!
VERY COMMUNICATIVE
Pixune was very communicative throughout our project. they asked a lot of good questions and produced great work.
VERY EASY TO WORK WITH
The team did everything they could to help us and give us the result we wanted. They always listened to feedback and were very easy to work with. I look forward to working with them again!
BRILLIANT TO WORK WITH
Brilliant to work with and will be working with them in the future!

Our 2D art creative process involves identifying your unique needs to have a deep understanding of your project, sketching, creating more detailed sketches, selecting the best color key and color composition, and developing detailed concept art to guide the style. Then, we apply more detail to characters, environments, and game assets, rig them for animation, and bring them to life frame-by-frame through expert animation.
There are 4 logical reasons for you to consider outsourcing 2D art:
- Saving Money and Time: 2D art creation requires experienced artists across many roles like concept artists, modelers, animators, art directors, art leads, technical artists, etc., and hiring them in-house has challenges. 2D art companies house all the expertise necessary to bring 2D visions to life efficiently, speedily, and cost-effectively.
- Creativity: Have you ever considered that you can outsource creativity, too? Apple partnered with Hovey-Kelley for creative ideas when inventing the mouse. AAA art studios thrive on imagination and creativity.
- Quality: Practice makes perfect. 2D art outsourcing companies produce countless game’s art, constantly honing skills and staying current on gaming industry trends and tools. Their experience enables high-quality 2D art services delivery without wasted time or budget.
- Scalability: Expanding a 2D art creation scale requires growing your skilled art team. That’s challenging in-house but not for a 2D art outsourcing partner with access to more game artists and game designers. A 2D art outsourcing studio maintains larger talent pools and connections to scale up readily.
There are 4 criteria for picking the best 2D art outsourcing studio for your projects:
- Portfolio: A 2D outsourcing company’s expertise is showcased via its 2D art impressive portfolio, and nothing tells better what they are capable of than its past works.
- Reviews: Read their reviews online and see what their past clients think of them. The most honest on-hand thing you can find in any 2D art studio is its online reviews.
- Communication: First impressions matter – especially when it comes to communication. If they’re slow to respond or just plain rude from the get-go, imagine how it’ll be once they have your money! Trust your gut and work with people who make you feel good.
- Time and Budget Compatibility: After all, you might find the best 2D outsourcing studio in the world, but your time schedule and/or money budget do not meet their demands. Find a 2D art studio that meets all the previous characteristics as well as your budget and schedule.
To create awesome 2D art, 6 critical points should be taken into account:
- Unique Art Style: A unique 2D art visual style is a powerful tool to be memorable and increase immersion and differentiation.
- Color Palette: Choosing the best color palette can make 2D art visually appealing, set the mood, improve clarity, and differentiate it from competitors.
- Memorable Characters: Think about your favorite high-quality games; the first thing that comes to mind is their characters, so good art must have unforgettable characters.
- Environment Design: After character art, the environment is too important. Memorable and immersive environments of the games can make a lasting impression on the mind.
- Visual clarity: Visual clarity, visual appeal, and attention to detail can improve engaging gameplay, aesthetics, realism, and differentiation.
- Animation: The excessive and smooth use of animation makes the 2D art more engaging and understandable. Compared to before, now everything (UI, background, and props) is being animated and shaken up.
