I agree with the pricing issues. I don't commission too much art because I don't have all that much gold to begin with, and I'm not going to spend a lot on a piece of art in an auction just because other people are bidding against me.

Some art that I see go for a lot of gold just shocks me...

I guess it's just because there are some wealthy art whores out there who want it badly enough...Demand outweighs Supply and people's art goes up in price because they have a unique style or whatnot.

I don't know...I don't really spend all that much on art, I just buy what I like and what I can afford xd Art Freebies forum rocks.

I don't stray too far into the R&C anymore either and the only art I really buy is from Jaded cause it's the only way I'm able to help her on her DJ quest. I mostly just get my art from real money commissions. Artists (not all, mind you. Just a lot I've encountered) seem to be more motivated to produce excellent art when they're paid with real currency. But it also takes a lot longer *still waiting for her NJ art that she paid for in september*

i'm only in the r&c in my threads, or the few threads that my friends have, and it's usually to kick or bump occassionally. i feel more comfortable that way. as for pricing, yes there are stuff that's overrated. but we all know that names sell more than art, in mose cases. there have been stuff recently that i've just been ..O_O;; when i see a lot better stuff go for less.

but i guess i shouldn't be talking, in the sense that there is an auction for me, and a joint auction that i am doing, both in the million. the group auction, i never asked anyone to do it for me. jenna did it on a whim and people signed up. if could bid, i would, because there's 30+ artists in that one, and most of them don't normally do gaia commissions. plus the price is in the mill only due to inflation. i look @ it more of the item than the price, even though i am questing for dj's, but i'd really rather have art. just...it'd seem really selfish of me to buy big arts while i am questing.

but auctions are meant to sell for a high price, and if people want it enough, they'll bid, especially for artists that do seem out of reach for most. *shrug* i can't afford a lot of the art, so i settle for trades. seems a more fair trade than pixelated monetary value. ah well... to keep it true to form:

Klody, zeph, I agree, I much prefer her inked style to her CG. I adore the pic she did for me, I think it's lovely, and I'd much rather have it than a CG. 3nodding

Thanks Nori!

Eee R&C, I'm in there a lot when I can be on Gaia. But that's because I've got more commitments, managing Ethereality & all.

Re: What everyone has been talking about >_>

Yeah, I agree on the auction thing there.. I only ever bid in them if I look at their samples, and immediately I can picture in my mind what I would want them to draw. If I look through their samples, and it just hits me so hard, "I know exactly what I would love to see..." then I will bid, ruthlessly. Because if I can picture that clearly what I want from them... any ammount of silly gaia gold is worth that picture.
Unless I don't have it. Then I banter for USD commissions, bwahaha.


The auction inflation though though, yeah.. When I look at auctions and I see how people are selling their art for 50k or 100k and I rarely ever get commissions with prices of 3k... it makes me feel sad. I was only ever able to get commissions on Gaia when I was selling full body full colour digital pieces for 3k... I mean, those things took me 12 hours... I had to raise the price beacuse it just wasn't worth it for 3k.
And now that I do that, I get a commission maybe once ever two months?


I always feel like I have no place in the R&C, because I don't have the gold to buy, and I don't have the talent to sell... >_>;;
