What would you pay? Ok, simple question~ What would you pay for my art? D: I've been having trouble figuring out what I should raise it to. Please be truthful and not tell me some oddly low number because you wanna buy from me cheap or you know what my old prices were. ^_^ So ok... Here are some VERY recent samples that show my ability at this point in time. And some older ones that I still heart Love heart ^^ CG's- (Newest to Oldest) Zephyree's OC Blue's Contest entry Vince & Cat Ragna Melime Zaine's Contest OC Request GASOC Auction Winners Maur & Tsuko ~ Contest Entry Sketch & Lineart- Random Character ^^ Meh :3 Aelynn~ Dragoness (colored version almost done) So based on this, what do think a Full body pic, CG, no background would be worth? gonk heart What I've been told so far: -6k-20k -10k+ -15k -20k+ -20-60k -20-100k -50k+ -50k+ -8-10k/hr (around 72k-90k) -10k/hr (around 90k) -50k-100k -50k-100k+ -100k+ -150k -150k-200k

	Honestly, I'd say that you're nuts if you took anything below 6k. For quality like that, at a regular shop fee, I'd be willing to pay up to 20k for a single. But that's because I'm on the poorer side of the R&C spectrum--those prices are for if you wanted to be nice to newbies. Older members might have different figures to throw at you. n.n;

	lol~ gonk But I've already spent my time being nice to noobs D: I used to have them at 1k when I first started. They weren't of the same qualit these are, but I now see they were worth well worth more. gonk omg~ I saw these crap pics by noobs for like 5k! And then I fainted that they would even get that much for it XP

	They're gorgeous, moo. ^_^ I'd say for a bust/waist up, nothing less than 25k, and for a full body, nothing less than 50k.

	heart Your work has always been amazing moo-moo, and you totally deserve to get 20-100k for it. Now yea, I have always thought prices that high are a bit nuts. And I would honestly never be able to afford to buy another commission from you if you went anywhere above 10k crying But the amount I can afford doesn't matter. What matters is that there are quite a few people that can afford it, and are more then willing to buy your work at that price. So if you feel you should raise the price that high.... Go for it. I'll be happy for you! And I'll always help you out with anything you need! heart

	For a full body, I'd say 20-60,000 depending on the complexity of the character (costume, hairstyle, pose, etc.) I know it's a wide range, but I'd say 20,000 is a good base to work off of. To do a complicated pose, you might add 10-20,000 more to that. 10,000 more for a complicated costume, and stuff like that. You're a very good artist, by the way! I really like your style. ^^

	daaang... i hadn't seen much of your artwork until now, and i have to say, i'm impressed. @_@ i don't know how much art pieces usually go for, but what i would do is figure out how much your time is worth first. (2k an hour? 5k? 10k? more?) then however many hours it would take you to do a piece like the one you're thinking about, multiply it by the hourly rate. you're being paid for your skills, but also for your time. i'm sure you spent many many hours on those pieces. hugs ~hoshi

	Thanks Lizzie ^^ Hoshi: I think the ratio is 2k/$1 ~ Therefore minimum wage is 10k/hr ($5/hour) ~ Really nice pics take me about 7-10hr. Maur & Tsuko took 9 hrs Which would be worth about 90k :0 (I won a Nov letter for it) So I dunno~ Maybe it's cuz I'm not very sure of my ability XP

Commented on: Sat Oct 16, 2004 @ 05:26pm


	What ever the price is, it's going to be WAY out of my range for the forseeable future. le sigh sad

	I would say 50-100k, but then you run into the risk of losing customers because you charge so high (unless you're busy with a full course load, then that should be no problem for you). Increase the price if you get too many requests, but lower it if you don't get enough.

	On the group picture, 200K+ is reasonable, because multi-charry interaction's tough as heck..and that one had a lot of em. On single portrait-shots, mid-arm up, 25-45K On full body ones, 50K+ Couples probably 100, 150K? Guesstimating. Your coloring's awesome as is your shading.
