Who is Art Bully Productions and how do you operate?
Art Bully Productions has been in operation for over 15 years, and we have contributed to over 80 shipped titles. We're a fully functional art outsourcing company providing full turnkey art development, which includes (Concept art, Modeling, Texturing, Rigging, Skinning, Animation) to clients big and small. We employ over 200 highly skilled artists working full-time between our three studio locations.
As a quality-driven company, we don't operate a massive factory-style outsourcing company. Instead, we function in leaner, more efficient strike teams that specialize in characters, creatures, weapons, vehicles, complex prop structures, and animation. This ranges from photo-realistic assets to highly stylized assets. We've created a number of these asset types for our clients. Some of them include Epic Games, Activision, Bethesda Games, Electronic Arts, 2k Games, Crystal Dynamics, Obsidian Entertainment, Gearbox Software, Hi-Rez Studios, and Frictional Games, to name a few.
Where are you located?
Art Bully Productions operates from three primary locations. Raleigh, North Carolina, Belgrade, Serbia, and Punjab, India.

How do you handle art production management?
We operate a secure project management board that we use to document, preview, and review asset production from start to finish. We also incorporate Slack in our art management pipeline. It helps to ensure that communication remains clear, concise, and up to the minute!
How much do you charge?
As we all know, the requirements for art assets vary from game to game since no two project needs are exactly alike, and due to that, our rates are determined on a case-by-case basis. We understand a developer's needs when it comes to budgetary concerns and offer fair and competitive prices for our services. Feel free to send us an e-mail for a free price quote.
