2$/hour

oh… that’s very low, but the artwork came out really nice. If you are planing to show this off (for work/portfolio?), I would take lolikitty’s suggestion and just call it a fun-side project with a friend. Nothing wrong with calling it a hobby =3

annnddd I must thank you for the artwork as well. I also learned a few things, espeicaly this one (the perspective thing… gosh, I suck at that). *huggles*

As for me, I have to get ready to go back to school in January

What’s your major, if you don’t mind me asking :3

This final background is, indeed, quite beautiful. Stunning, even. And I think I might just the use the version with the Touhou characters in my game. Doesn’t hurt to have bystanders, especially if those bystanders are a reference!

One thing I’ve been constantly impressed with, Sixten, has been the quality of the work you put out. Even though I said I’d be happy with whatever you can do in less time, even though I said this isn’t super-important, and even though the payment you requested is pitifully inadequate, you produced beautiful artwork for me. Thank you.

As for your earlier concern that you can’t show people the work you do for CCY17, and your ensuing disappointment, just tell them you made this art for a friend’s game but he’s a lazy asshole and he never finished it. It’s three-quarters-true; I’m lazy and an asshole and the game hasn’t been finished yet.

I think you’ve made some seriously quality art in your 150 hours, and I am both honored and grateful that this art is now mine to use in my game.

As I said at the beginning, 2$/hour is a joke for this kind of work.

Let us work together again some time in the less-busy future*, on two conditions: you like the project more, and you get more out of it.

Thank you again, Sixten. Good luck with work and school, and don’t let the stress get to you. I cheer for the artist.
