Real job and time sink, we have more artists now, we are training them up on style. It takes time to get everyone on the same level. Also, we hired an animator. So it's not like we aren't spending the money.Is the artist not being paid enough for him to dedicate enough time to this project to not deliver the bare minimum? Even 1 scene a month is borderline scammy for 12k a month, much less whatever "every A, B release" means. Like is all the time going towards BG's or something, and if so why not hire another artist to work on that? On one hand you have a overzealous writer, and on the other hand an artist that is slow. What a combo, I feel bad for Joe.
But there was a process, find people, they submit test art etc etc... it's not just, "Ah saw your art, come work for us"
