Need Opinions, please look inside...

Heh... I've been searching every avatar art shop available and still don't know what sort of price my art is worth. Meh... I keep thinking people are PMing me for a commission because my work is cheap.

Comments and constructive critism would be nice. ^^

You don't have to answer them all, just maybe one category or something and I'd be grateful. heart Any extra comments would be nice too.

And PLEASE DON'T STEAL MY WORK! MOST OF THEM WERE FOR CONTESTS AND COMMISSIONS!

150 G or 150 K? I'm guessing G, but I don't think my art's that bad. sweatdrop

[A i r Gemini]

for the CG I would say
Animals: 350-400
Shoulder-Up: 350-500
Waist-Up: 450-550
Full Body: 600-650
Full Body w/ Scenery:950-1000
but then again that is just me. I am cheap by nature, so I wouldn't rely alot on what i said.

Meh, well, I'm going to be averaging out the suggestions so, *shrug*

[hiss fit]

I'd say your CGs are worth 1700. O_o


But I"m a lousy judge, something in the back of my mind is saying more though.

Thanks, my natural media art has been commissioned for 1k average, so I suppose that's a decent price for a CG.

[DawnieChan]

More suggestions please? *bump*

[DawnieChan]

*pokes thread* I need more suggestions... *twiddles thumbs*

Dawnie, might I make a suggestion? You know Nyome, so you probably know about this already, but...G.A.S.O.C. But we have a guide to setting up shops that might help.


The REAL question is, how much are you not willing to do it for? Your prices better be higher than that. ^^ Because it doesn't matter what other people charge for their art...your art is unique to you. (Can you tell I'm an art shop owner? I have a flat rate of 4k...for chibis!) xd so you go ahead and charge whatever you feel is reasonable, and don't be ashamed to raise your prices if it gets difficult to keep up with.

The natural media (colored pencil, maybe?) onelooks nicely blanded and shaded, so I'd say it's pretty good quality. Probably not as time consuming as CG, but it takes real materials, which cost money. 1-2 k?


Your CG is really good. If you spend a good bit of time on it, don't let it walk away for less than a couple k. I would say those full-bodies are worth about 5 k, give or take, for a standard commission. I have no doubt you could potentially get more in a contest or auction.


The animals are cute but look a bit forced...maybe it's because they have straight outlines when most animals are furry and the fur affects their outline. So they probably wouldn't go for quite as much. You're still better than me, though. xd


You might also consider a price-by-piece method, where you give an estimate according to the request.

...I hope this helps. sweatdrop If not, I just wasted a lot of typing! blaugh
