I like to art. Seeing that art is time-consuming I make sure to make sure whatever I'm arting is also helping me to grow as an artist and not just pass time. I've finally come to a level in my art that I can say I am confident in my ability as an artist to produce acceptable quality art and have begun taking requests.
As Is.
I draw on an as is basis. Any details that are not blatantly obvious in the reference or description can possibly be missed. If I happen to miss something that wasn't specified I don't mind fixing it as long as it doesn't require me to make too many alterations. If I miss something that was indeed specified I will do my best to fix the mistake. Please make sure to specify exactly what you are expecting to be done to prevent lost time.
Let's Get Down to Business.
Art takes patience. Patience takes time. Time is money.
I don't average my price because I have done similar pieces from prices ranging from 50k to 10mil. I feel that if I make an average then I attract people who are only willing to pay for that average rather than people who want to work with me to come up with a reasonable amount. Of course, this isn't always the case but I am going with majority over minority.
*(e.g. "My full body is 500k." "Okay, I will pay 500k." Asking for more if I don't feel I would want to draw a request for that price usually ends up in the person saying no thank you (because in their mind, they only wanted to spend that amount) and both of our times are wasted. I only want to draw for people who want me to bust my a** trying to perfect their piece (unless otherwise stated, e.g. a sketch or flat colour))
Prices are negotiable but tread lightly on this path for I am not a fool; I can deny any request I feel is underpaying or am not comfortable creating (both, which are rare).
I start all of my negotiations at 1.5mil. I am willing to go much higher or much lower. The price of the art does not start at 1.5mil, that is my general idea of payment from someone hypothetically buying something worth 1.5mil of my time. I prefer having a discussion over the price depending on the style/level of completion desired. Either PM me or post here your requests.
I really do not mind going lower than that if the art calls for it. Don't be afraid to tell me your price.
Deadlines.
I don't mind deadlines but please be reasonable, I'm not as much of a machine as I'd like to believe.
