Game development, including game art, usually takes several years. So, it is natural that the process of game development is very painstaking. In general, this process can be divided into three major stages:

1. Game engine development. This part of the process is usually made by programming staff who is working on the software code, which will be the basis of the future game.
2. Game art design. It is a process of game concept development. At this stage of game development, the concept of the future game is created. The concept should be stated in the special document, called design document, in which all the rules, description of levels, characters of the future game should be defined for further game art. Game art is the work of visual artists and animators who will visualize settings, levels, locations, characters, icons and other things, which gamers will then see on their screens with the help of painting, 2D and 3D animation. It is usually the longest stage because there is too much work to do.
3. Testing. It is the final part of game development process, during which the group of definite people plays the game to find different program bugs and to evaluate game art itself before publication. Thus, the commercial success of this project may be defined by marketing experts.

So, as you can see, game development is not the easiest thing in the world, and that is why it usually takes a lot of time. Nevertheless, game developers must not also forget about millions of gamers all over the world who are waiting for new exciting games, so it is necessary to think about different ways of creating the new game faster.

This reason can be extremely essential for a small game development company consisting of programmers only or in case if the budget of game development company is strictly limited.
• Many variants. Different artists and designers have different points of view, that’s why different people usually have different representations about different work aspects, for instance, regarding what one and the same character should look like. Hence, the client company may have many variants of visualization and choose the most appropriate one.

So, it’s clear that external specialists had been working with various companies, are more experienced, and their experience is more diverse and helpful.
