I joined a small indie-team as a concept artist, but I stopped working on second week because I saw very low activity. For two month there was silence in our chat, so I decided that I can post those.
Our programmer (lead guy) was creating a core of the game with all mechanics for a year. After that he started to look for us - 2d and 3d guys. Eventually I was the only concept artist, but we had 2 3d artist (and few more other guys)... It took more than a month to create a model of one gun. In that temp there would be no game.
I feel sad for our programmer, he spent so much time for coding and nothing came out.
