Ehi, anyone aware of how expensive is requesting the creation of a 3D animated toon character for mobile with something like 10 animations?

Assume a lowpoly toon-squirrel model, how much would that cost to me? It just need diffuse map (hand Painted, I love that look). No other textures.

A example (this one has facial animations, I do not need full facial animations btw)



Also this one is a good example of the quality I'm trying to achieve

I'm not sure exactly what you mean by "hand-painted". Turbosquid has lots of options < $100

If you like the model but it's not in the format you want, I think they will do conversion for you for free.

Are you looking for something like this?

Those require quite an effort, so expect them expensive.

Update. Yeah I expected that expensive, I was searching for "unique" models, not models reselled to all people. I asked on some graphics-forums. Seems a good model
could cost 300-500€ (maybe less if it is not too complex, most time would be texturing and rigging, modelling part is usually the smaller for professionals), and 20-40€ just for each animation. Seems like uinque models are 10-20 times more expensive than "store models". The above ice element could cost something like 700€ if done with a decent amount of animations O_O (and solely for your game).

sounds about right, depending highly on quality level though - generally if you're for something simple you can get it as cheap as $100-200, for something super nice with a bunch of animations though? Pretty spot on (source: I occasionally do 3D models for people (I even do batch prices, figure it helps offset dev costs and gives me a larger guaranteed sum which helps a lot with planning my economy), but I'm terrible at hand-painting textures so I'm not even going to offer my services)
