Oooohhhh, chibis sound good. MAYBE.
I think your art is out of the norm so it's awesome but then, most people are used to anime styled, that's why : D

I'm reallllyyyyy bad at pricing as well. For me, I think you should get paid for the amount of work done. Which seems to be a lot of work >:
What I've done in the past is set a solid pricing... If I get a lot of orders then I raise it until there's a good amount flowing in. Then opposite for opposite effect (:

I used to draw anime then I started studying anatomy and it screwed me up for cartoons. Now I'm trying to learn to draw anime again. This chibi I'm working on, for example, is giving me a right good headache. Because it needs to be purposely drawn disproportionate. I want to beat my head on my desk. XD I mean, my anatomy still sucks but it's just barely good enough that chibis are screwing with my head. lol

I agree on pricing. Yeah. What I draw takes me close to 7-8 hours per picture. Most of it is coloring, though. I do probably between a quarter and a half of my detail work with my colors, usually.

LOL, ANATOMY IS GOODDDD, I wish I studied anatomy... But true it does screw things up sometimes. XD AHAHA CHIBIS. I never really could do them properly. Cute lil mongrels.

Holyyyyyy.. This is going to sound... Like.. bad, but, spend less time and detail on it... Especially when a lot of people can't appreciate it. I spend... barely an hour if I'm really into it and going fast. The hardest part for me was to think of a position. XD

I'd seriously love to do less detail. Seriously. Though I'll admit that I have a touch of OCD and I can't draw an avatar without attempting to draw EVERYTHING on that avatar. The worst of it is that I love to draw mild clutter. Like... like my own avi. That kind of clutter. It makes for a long process and I'm probably giving out more than I'm getting paid for, but I'm not sure I can stop myself. D:

Ahhh... At first I was quite OCD... but then I realised most Gaians find it fine to not include some things... WELL. I also got lazy over time... I only put in the most effort when I'm drawing for myself or a high bribe or if I really like what I'm doing. c: YOU NEED TO CUT... THAT LONG PROCESS. LIFE IS EASIER.

LOL I CAN'T HANDLE CLUTTER. DRIVES ME NUTS TO FIGURE OUT ALL THE ITEMS ALSKDLDF. I like face art and tattoos a lot. And hair.

I know. ;_;

Portrait art is awesome. That's actually my area of study right now-- doing pencil portraits for people IRL. But I'd never be able to sell them on here. Takes WAY too long to do those right now.
Like... like... between 15 and 20 hours. But they're very realistic so I suppose it makes sense. And it takes A LOT of layering with my pencils.

Ooohh, sounds good. I did that in high school once... drove me crazy. Would never do that again. Hands aren't steady enough. >:
Hahaaa, those are too good to try sell on Gaia. c: I would only do something so time consuming if I was bribed a lot or if it was an art auction...
This is going to sound hypocritical... But I never understood one's fascination to buy avatar art.

It's an acquired level of patience, for sure. And yeah. I'd only ever do it for someone on here in an auction because those babies would go for more than I'd feel right about putting in an art shop.

Actually, I don't half understand the avi art fascination either. I just don't question it because I love to draw and people's avis give me things to draw. XD

Haha good, 'cause I thought it was just me and that's not right. It's ridiculous how much people would pay for avie art. I've seen people blow 3mil just like that.... Geezus.

I suppose if they're rich, 3 mil might just be a drop in the bucket to them. :'D I'm... not rich. Pretty much what you see with me is what you get. XD

I'd think that' s crazy. It would take a really really good auction with multiple art to get that. D: Gosh, so much time used.......
Don't worry, I'm not rich either. Though the artshop is doing well and eventually I'll get 3mil. But I'll be closin soon </3.

Haha, I'll be closing my slots and re-doing my art for bribe only, since I'll put a little more effort and colouring in it (: Also, uni work sucks so need to get on top of that. The shop will still be up and running ;D
