I can see the economy on Gaia's gotten way out of hand and so I don't know how to price my art anymore. It's been a while since I've had an account that's stable on here. Usually I leave or forget my password--so I don't have much of an idea how things work on here right now. It'd be great if someone could give me an example of how I should run my shop, what I should charge, and what kind of art I should offer. There was always so many pieces that made it difficult: whether I should charge for bust shots, colored, sketches, couples, animations, chibis, regular, scribbles.

So how do art shops run nowadays? What would my art sell for? What should I charge and what should I do as far as opening a shop? Please, I could use a little advice right now. I think right now I'm going to post some examples of my art and let you guys tell me what I should charge/sell.

Thank you all so much! heart

Anyone know what I should charge? I'm kind of at a loss... some people are charging 500 mil for something as simple as pet adoptables--so I don't know what I should really do.

A good amount of these drawings are older, but I've improved since those were drawn. I can do couples, but have no... work appropriate examples on me. sweatdrop

Yes, some of them aren't signed--I usually forget to sign my work and most of the newer pieces are signed.

So I'm at a loss my friends... does anyone have an idea of what I should do?

Thank you so much--for the compliment and for the pricing!
Let me know if ever you'd like a freebie, I've got a little time before I'm able to buy a trading license to sell my art.

To be perfectly honest, I wasn't expecting on actually getting a pricing on my art.

It was worth a shot to post it, but I certainly wasn't expecting for someone to get back to me on it so quickly, nor to tell me such a high amount. That's actually a huge confidence boost! I'd certainly do a free comission for you--after all it seems all my drawing for the next 3 days will be just for my own pleasure. I certainly wouldn't mind drawing something for someone who helped me! heart

I've always had issues pricing my own art.
