I'm looking to make a certain avi and since they don't give out original Angelic Halo's in the DG I could use some help getting price estimates for my art so I can open a temporary art shop and make quick gold since I'm starting to be slightly more active on this website.

80-100K

Don't ruin it for the rest of us. mad
Coloring on the first one is pretty intense. I sell my shitty art for usually what people bribe me with. That has been anywhere between 140k-1.2m (the latter for a group piece I was working on for a really long time).
I usually charge by how long it takes me to make the piece. Therefor extra details=extra dough.
Price your stuff for 100k at least. Even 150k.
Headshots should be significantly cheaper than anything else. 60-80k.
Busts=120k
Full body=150k.
Do they want it colored? Add at least 20k to each price if not more.

I tend to find that people like paying a lot for art. The price seems to translate into "oh, they must be good!" or "oh people must really like them."

Never underestimate the oddness of the average idiot.

MMM i'm not so pumped for the additional pricing on sketch/line art stuff. GENERALLY when I'm looking at well rounded prices, I'm thinking that it's either FOR a sketch or line art. Those prices make me a little pissed.
Yes, I've owned multiple shops under different names. I'm setting my current one up right now, House of Cards (a regular art shop that accepts item bribes as well).
I would say make the average price for lineart. Don't add gold on for line art that's a shitty deal.

Make yourself stand out - if people just want a sketch, mark it as -20k or something rather than +20k. wink
That always makes people excited when they see they can save money. Makes them think they're getting a better deal.

Additional character in my opinion should be +100k. Just because it's double the work and you're already not doubling the price.

Also, always reserve the right to deny/accept any requests and declutter avis at your will. Let them know if they step up the price then you'll consider drawing the cluttered avi as it is.
Always play hard ball. emotion_awesome

MMM is suppose. Although if I was looking to buy, that would put me off a little bit. Sorry if I'm coming off as rambling but I just feel that you should make the line art style the regular price instead of adding it on. Yknow, obviously if I'm getting something drawn for me I expect it to be drawn and not invisible. That's why it would bother me to have to throw an extra pound of money onto the heap I'm already giving you. Also, 180k for a chibi is kinda high. : o

BTW- don't forget to make an awesome shop front. No matter what people say, they DO judge things by the covers.

Tumblr is a whole different cookie my friend. I won't even get into that.

@Scarlet: I've been lurking around the art shops and you were right people will pay insane amounts of gold for things
