3D game art
We build polygon-optimized 3D models for characters, environments, and props across various video game platforms with Unity and Unreal Engine compatibility. Our artists handle modeling, UV mapping, texturing, rigging, animation, lighting, and rendering to deliver optimized game assets. Working in realistic and stylized art styles, we build single-player and multiplayer characters, environment pieces for level design, and props that fit your game world.
UI/UX design
Clear interfaces remove barriers between players and gameplay. Our UI/UX designers create HUDs, menus, icons, and navigation systems that clearly display to players what they need without overwhelming them. We design for different control types, screen sizes, and viewing distances across mobile, PC, console, and VR. Working in realistic overlays, stylized fantasy interfaces, or minimalist modern designs, we include accessibility features like scalable text and customizable contrast from the start.
game character
design
Player connections start with memorable characters. Our team develops memorable personas by exploring deep backstories, unique body language, and specific gameplay roles – crafting characters who serve as cultural icons, driving engagement. By prioritizing inclusivity – spanning diverse ethnicities, genders, and body types – we help your game achieve broad market appeal. Understanding the intricacies involved in single-player and multiplayer character design, we deliver production-ready assets optimized for your platform with seamless engine integration.
2D game art
We create clear, consistent 2D game art
for different genres across mobile, PC, and console platforms. Our artists design character sprites, environment art, UI elements, marketing visuals, and animations in various styles, including pixel art, hand-painted, vector, cartoon, and anime-inspired. Experienced with industry-standard 2D art software and engines, we deliver production-ready files optimized for quick integration into your workflow.
game environment
design
We craft engine-ready environments rooted in your game’s unique lore, geography, and cultural settings – where level design guides player flow, environments reveal narrative through visual storytelling, and diverse themes span historical deserts to alien planets. Specializing in modular kits with LOD optimization for PC, console, mobile, and VR, we deliver high-fidelity visuals without sacrificing performance.
game
animation
Static models and sprites become playable characters through animation. Our animators create 3D skeletal animations and 2D frame-by-frame sequences for characters, environments, and objects – handling locomotion cycles, combat actions, facial expressions, and contextual interactions. We also provide services for creating in-game cinematics and cutscenes that enhance narrative moments. Working across realistic and stylized motion, we create animations optimized for gameplay responsiveness and target frame rates.
concept art
Abstract ideas become visual blueprints through mood boarding and concept art that define your game’s look before production begins. Our concept artists create detailed illustrations for 2D and 3D assets – covering characters, environments, and props. Experienced in realistic, stylized, and fantasy art across game genres, we keep your game looking cohesive throughout production while saving time and budget.

development process
art direction & style selection
We establish your game’s visual identity – defining whether you need 2D or 3D, realistic or stylized, and creating mood boards with color palettes, lighting references, and design principles that guide all artistic decisions.
concept development
Our concept artists translate direction into production blueprints – sketching characters, environments, and props that your team can build from, with multiple iterations exploring different visual approaches.
asset production
We create game-ready assets based on approved concepts:
2D
Hand-drawn sprites with consistent scale and proportions
3D
Optimized geometry textured with surface details
rigging
Skeletal systems enabling natural character movement
animation
Keyframed motion cycles for gameplay and cinematics
engine integration
Assets integrate into your game engine with proper rendering and interaction setup – ensuring they respond correctly to lighting, player inputs, and gameplay mechanics.
testing & optimization
We verify performance across platforms – checking
polygon counts for mobile, texture quality for PC/console, and frame rates for VR – refining until assets meet both visual and technical standards.
FAQs
Game art services include concept art and mood boarding, 2D sprite creation, 3D modeling and texturing, character design, environment art, UI/UX design, rigging, and animation. Recommended services for converting concept art into game-ready assets include full production pipelines that handle modeling, UV mapping, texturing, and optimization for your target platform and game engine.
Game art outsourcing costs vary significantly based on project scope, art style complexity, asset quantity, and team experience level. Factors affecting pricing include whether you need 2D or 3D art, the level of detail required (stylized vs photorealistic), platform optimization needs, and turnaround timelines. We recommend discussing your specific project requirements to receive accurate estimates tailored to your budget and quality expectations.
Turnaround times depend on asset complexity and pipeline stage. A single concept illustration takes 2-5 days, while a fully rigged and animated 3D character requires 2-4 weeks. Environment sets span 4-8 weeks, and complete UI systems need 3-6 weeks. Full game art production for mid-sized projects typically ranges from 3-6 months from initial concepts to final optimized assets.
Look for a diverse portfolio matching your game’s specific needs – whether you need to find studios known for stylized game art, companies that provide photorealistic game art services, or studios experienced in RPG game art development and other genres. Check their platform experience, game engine expertise, client testimonials, and ability to balance artistic vision with technical constraints.
Professional game art companies maintain style consistency through comprehensive art direction documents, detailed style guides with color palettes and design principles, regular creative reviews at each pipeline stage, and dedicated art directors who oversee all assets. They establish clear visual references up front, use consistent tools and workflows across the team, and implement quality-control checkpoints before assets move to the next production phase.
