We used crowsourcing job looking for illustrators, we had a few dozens beautifly sketched background that we needed to turn into full color images... The pay was decent (you would get paid per image) so we had high hopes... Until we started getting spamed by an avalanche of untalented hacks. I mean it was so bad we had to find someone local... Trust me you don't want to see what some of those "illustrators" from India are capable of.
The experience taught us at:
a.) talent costs money
b.) even if you pay decent wages - people in the creative fields are awfully lazy
c.) you need clear communication and strict supervisions (i would never attempt anything bigger then a logo - maybe - without ability to see the people in person)
