Commission pricing

[teal ore]

Hellooo, I made a new artstyle for myself that takes up to 16 hours for a full piece and I want to start commissions on it, but idk for how much.

Here are closeups

[foggy lantern]

off topic but i was teriffied when i saw how big she was compared to the bg and then i saw the jester

[teal ore]

Lmao. Without the jester she does look off-putting

I just wanted to make the illustration more interesting than just some lady in a pretty dress

So I made her humongous

[foggy lantern]

anywayy do you want to make only fully rendered piecies with bg or sketches/ only character too ?

[grim sun]

depends what ur doing! this is my opinion
headshots - $45
full body - $80
full body w bg characters (blurry) - $120
full body w bg characters (clear) - $210
extras
detailed bg - +$50
extra main people - +$65/per

and honestly if i were you, id go way up with the prices. thats some good, detailed stuff.

[teal ore]

Ohhh tysm for your help!!

[grim sun]

one thing is do not feel bad about making your prices high. starting off id make them like a little higher than what i suggested and once you get more people up the price

[teal ore]

I am fine with drawing any kind, but truthfully- ordering just sketches from me wouldn’t make much sense- its the textures and coloring that make my art interesting

[teal ore]

Thats a good idea

[teal ore]

And lineart is alright I guess

[foggy lantern]

hmm theb i'd multiply the amout of hours you put into your work by minnimum wage in your country + 5 dollar fee for your equpiment such as electrical energy, your device you draw with. if your art program is paid I'd add it to the price ( so that you make profit) and lastly 20+ dollars for your expirience/ skillset

[teal ore]

Thank you for the advice!! 🫶

[foggy lantern]

it gets pretty pricey if you spend a lof of time on your work so you can adjust it how you want

you could also adjust your prices based on the "economy" in the country you're aiming for - what i mean is bsically research how much people are willing to pay for art

[teal ore]

So true! 80$ in my country is so much more than 80$ for an average American for instance

[foggy lantern]

since you're just starting out and probobly dont have a massive fan base you can't really name a crazy price at first

[teal ore]

That makes sense

[foggy lantern]
