    I have a feeling the responses you'll get are going to be similar to what you'd see for asking "How long is a piece of string"? 

    It depends.

    if you outsource to an individual for a specific job (eg a hero character)  then they'll charge you a day rate - it'll be around the same sort of rate you'd expect to pay a skilled tradesman (plumber/electrician).  I feel like the estimates in the article linked above are probably a bit out of date / are not AAA level or don't account for a large chunk of the process.

    if you go to  one of the larger outsource houses in the far east you'll usually pay a retainer for a set number of months and a set number of artists - how many assets you get will depend on scheduling.  The day rate per individual artist will be similar to a graduate or junior artist in europe



    A car for a AAA game will likely cost several thousand euros/pounds/whatevers depending on complexity
