I'm looking at the art requirements for my game, and thinking its going to take more than the help Ive got now.

Much as I appreciate the help from friends, i know that somewhere down the line, I'm going to have to get some serious artwork churned out.

Can anyone point me in the direction of an affordable method of securing artistic help? Ive seen qoutes of $500 for a single splash screen, which to me, seems pretty high, and would inevitably mean that the project wouldnt be viable.

So what do you guys do for art? doing it myself is NOT an option, i am a professional developer, so I have a certain level of quality that I'll accept.

Does anyone know any good freelancers?

How about people from Croatia and those east european states? or even India? how about outsourcing there?

Basically, I need to find someone long term I can partner with, thats affordable, knows what theyre doing and is actually "good".

He offers very fair prices. I'm not sure if he does splash screens but he can do any in game art content. Wouldn't hurt to ask.
