$150,000 for one game fighting game character.

Guys, I'm sharing this article about "How much do sprites cost?" 

First of all, the article is not intend to MUGEN, however MUGEN is mentioned and used for statement/comparision purposes and overall is a very informative article that everyone in "the area" should read.

I will quote a few things below but really suggest you all read the entire post.

So let’s translate this in terms of MUGEN and homebrew games. How much should it cost a bunch of hobbyists to make a good character? There’s the issue of programming and testing it along with the art, but let’s just focus on the art aspect.

There’s an adage that says you can have work done well, done fast or done cheap, but never all three. And so it is here — you can hire someone to make a character by editing an existing character and have things done quickly with very little skill needed, you can get someone who’s decent and give them no deadline pressure for a reasonable cost (probably the number one formula for failure, though), or you can go out and officially hire someone skilled for a project with a deadline and expect to pay a bucketload. It rarely deviates from this.

Keep persevering, you aspiring pixel artists. Don’t shortchange yourself on commissions. And if you don’t find any takers for the bigger jobs, well, there’s always crowdfunding.

Very good
Thanks for share

ok search my works: palettes, stages, some chars etc and give me 10 dolars for work hahaha no way my work always is free!

well, this makes me feel morally comfortable about the "creative" stuff I've shared online for free (if compared to the amount of music, games and more stuff I've downloaded), at least there's some value I'm giving back to the Internet community.
