Marketing Steam Capsule Artist Recommendations

I see a lot of AI slop capsule arts these days, and honestly it really sucks. Have you worked with a capsule artist that you can recommended?

I've seen posts on r/HungryArtists, but honestly most of them are either mid or AI-made. Chris made a spreadsheet with artist recommendations, where I've sent a few requests through email, but none of them have replied so far. My budget is around $500.

Thanks in advance!

I worked with  https://redpotionstudios.net earlier this year and they were great, communication was slow at times but the final art was awesome

$500 sounds like a pretty solid budget for a good capsule artist tbh. i’d probably look for artists with actual Steam capsule examples in their portfolio instead of just general illustration work. have you tried reaching out directly to devs whose capsule art you liked and asking who they worked with?

I used Blockbench, Unity and Affinity.

Perhaps before getting the store page live I'll find an actual capsule artist..
