Quality and complexity of the design will be on par with the mage LPC asset. The reason I wanted to know is that there is a party that is willing to provide funding but they want a detailed production schedule and I don't really have a good idea of how long certain art tasks take.

If I do get the funding, then I'd be willing to bring aboard a couple of artists and pay a monthly salary for the duration of the project.

If not, then I'd continue using the LPC assets as placeholder and delay putting in the real assets further down the road. A few months before release, I'd hire artist on a per hour basis to replace the placeholder assets.
