Hello,
I have a few concepts for decks that I've been working on. However, I have no skills in the visual arts so will be hiring an artist to illustrate the decks. I've met with a few individuals who are interested in the project, and I'd like to begin working with one of them.
My question is this - how do I pay them?
If you've hired artists before, did you pay them for each piece as it was completed? Did you pay based on the time they worked? Did you just agree on a total amount and pay it all at once? Or was some other method used?
**edited to add**
On a related note, did/will you pay the artist a percentage of the money you make from selling the deck? If so, was/is this instead of or on top of commissioning the artwork?
If you are an artist, how would you prefer to be paid?
Want to get a better idea of this part of things before moving forward.
Thanks for any input!
