I have no idea though. Probably it’s the cheapest if you do the art yourself, as you don’t need any kind of art programs or anything. I have no idea though.

Checked Indiegamer and I got some replies and tons of education "what kind of game art is good to use". Pixel art was said to be "possibly the most expensive way to do art for a game"... ;) Thanks for the replies.

Generally I found that individual sprites felt quite cheap on their own but that I completely underestimated the scope of the work. You know what though, it would be great if there was a site specifically geared towards indpendent game contracting. A place where artists, musicians and coders could put their services up for sale with examples of their work and their costs with user ratings and such. Maybe if that doesn't exist I should make it...
