shoki_de_nai I have a question. I do a lot of free/cheap pieces but I need some extra cash and set up a paypal, DA and FA account so I could start actually selling my art for real money. But I feel bad demanding payment and have no idea what to charge. When it's been for gaia gold, I've just told people to give me whatever they feel is fair (usually between 1 and 5k), but that tends to annoy people and I get paid a small amount. I'd feel awful charging a lot for my work though. x__X A) was it really that bad of me to let them choose how much they paid? B) not really ediqiuette, but an art question none the less...How can I decide how much to charge?
Personally:
A) Of course it's not a bad thing to let people decide how much to pay, then again sometime's commissioner's don't want to make a descision that might either offend or make it so they spent too much.
B) Of course you can charge whatever you want, and don't feel that it needs to be very cheap...pretty much every RL money commissionner I've met, if they're willing to pay cash, they don't really care about a couple of bucks of a different price. If you want I can PM you with an amount that I find suitable for your art. ^^ One thing that you've got that most commissioners really care about is style, and another is a plain ole love for both furries and drawing, so don't be nervous! |

Zella L. Kakarotto-san Zella L. I actually have a question that wasn't really pointed out...if someone makes something that's wrong, is it polite to ask them if you can edit it? Yes. But I would only ask if it's the sketch stage where it can easily fixed. How about if the commissioner wants to do it themselves? That being said, once you commission a piece, do you have to ask if you can use it in your sig, a banner, cropping, resizing, reposting, adding text to, "auto coloring" (a function in photoshop, though I'm sure you know that Kago), removing the background...is there a specified limit? And of course as long as you still don't claim it as your own, and don't remove the signature if it is there?
That really depends on the artist. But it doesn't hurt to ask.
shoki_de_nai just seemed to irritate a couple people when I told them I let people decide what they want to pay me. And yus, please tell me what you think would be okay for me to charge. I have no clue. Yeah, I'm weird...I feel bad asking for a payment, I dunno why. I feel guilty or something. Just another thing to add to my list of weird stuff I just do because. :: shrug:: Hopefully, I'll overcome it. xd
Try Furbid. I've found that it's helped me get a few commissions. (I'm not saying you will get them, but it's worth a try)

Zella L. Kakarotto-san Zella L. Apparently furbid is no longer accepting auctions. umm..where did you see that? It allows me to post auctions. When I tried to do that, it told me to go to furbid-sf. http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h6/ZellaL/furbid.jpg
Weird...*scratchs head* Let me look into it. |
