Who Am I?

I have been a contributor to the RPG Maker community for over a decade. I am the owner of the tutorial website finalbossblues.com and the author of the popular pixel art tutorials hosted here.

My name is Jason Perry, and I have gone by many nicks over the years in this community and others (Ionem/Needles/Despain/missingno/frieza, etc). I have been using the RPG Maker programs since early 2000 and have extensive experience with RM2K, RM2K3, RMXP, RMVX and RMVXAce, as well as experience as a web designer and writer. I have an honors degree in English Literature from Southern Connecticut State University.

Recently I have begun working on a project that I plan to release commercially—and I encourage others to do the same! I often talk about the value of original graphics in games, and now I’m here to help directly.

Pricing

Prices vary depending on the amount of time it will take to complete your request (size, style and framecount are major factors).

Typically I will charge $10-$20 an hour, depending on the method of creation (painting, pixel, etc) and the type of the graphics (sprites or objects vs tiles). The exact price will vary depending on the piece. Most prices will be open to discussion (if I have a use for the commissioned art in my own personal project, I might offer a significant discount for shared rights; this offer can be refused).

Once I have the details of your request, I will respond with a price quote. Even if the commission is not taken, the information you give me will not be made public.

All prices are in US Dollars. I accept Paypal.

Contact

You may contact me via Forum PM on RPGMaker Web, via email (derek.despain at gmail.com) or Facebook.

When you message me, please include details about the kind of thing you are looking for. Include the amount of sprites, frame number, etc. If you have a reference image, please include that.

When I have a solid understanding of what you want, I will reply with a price quote based on the information you have given.

If you would like me to match a specific style—say so. For styles other than RTP, please include some examples so I am able to better match the style. If you are looking for something in the RTP style, state whether it is XP or VX/Ace.

I will usually be able to reply within the day or the next.

• I am unavailable to work on long-term projects or “join your team”.
• I request that I have permission to use any commissioned work as portfolio pieces. They will not be released publicly.
• No furries, no ponies. No memes.
• Adult (18+) is fine.
• Requests that interest me personally or challenge me will often have priority.

Thanks!
