15$ for a kit and a skin is a bit much especially compared to other paid lore friendly cars that go for 5$

finite lark
#

However, I have not seen any paid skins like this, specifically my own and not copied ones.

tawny turtle
#

but uh

#

high quality dev level full cars go for like 5$ ish

finite lark
#

I have already done some free work and plan to exhibit it anyway.

#

The prices Americans pay for poorly redesigned skins are clearly different. I've heard of $30 for a skin that already exists and has simply been redrawn.

tawny turtle
finite lark
#

You're right, I'll change the price by at least $5, as you suggested.

tawny turtle
#

if you are doing a commission then its a higher price but if its something thats freely available to buy its 15$ is insane

#

since you could buy like 4 full cars for the price of a single skin yk

finite lark
#

I understand, but spending two days on a skin, agonizing over the idea and its implementation, and getting it for free or $5 is a little sad.

tawny turtle
finite lark
#

More time does not necessarily mean a higher price.

#

Well, I heard the feedback, and it's really important, so I'll do things differently now.

tawny turtle
#

im not saying your time is not valuable im just saying things here sell for a very low price

#

(since most people do it as a hobby or a side gig and not something to make money of off)

finite lark
#

In that case, even $5 would be appropriate, considering that I will be posting free skins later on.

tawny turtle
#

just keep in mind that until a few years ago paid mods didnt even widely exist in beam and every mod regardless of time and efford was free

finite lark
#

You're right, and your pricing policy is much more accurate than my previous understanding.

#

I changed the price, thanks for the feedback, friend.

tawny turtle
#

oh also im not sure what hypolink is but people tend to only trust patreon shop, gumroad or kofi

finite lark
#

It's the same Patreon, just with a different design. I found it easier to use in terms of product design and payment methods.

#

But most likely, I will start a Patreon account over time.

#

If you have any ideas and what people mostly request in terms of skins, it would be great to hear them.

#

You are an absolute artist but I am NOT paying that much for just a skin, sorry.

finite lark
#

I think that $5 is worthless now, even for a skin. In my country, it's difficult to buy a snack for $5.

pine oracle
#

this type of skin you should sell for $7-$15, $5 is very cheap price for hard work and many hours spent on work ;) and the skin looks good!

#

and sell it on patreon for example, as a "customer" i wouldnt trust anything else

finite lark
#

Considering that I'm new here, it would be better to do something cheaper for now, and yes, thank you for advising me to create a Patreon. I'll definitely get started on that today.

# finite lark Do you mean $5 or $15?

If you could sell it for around $1-2AUD that would probably be fitting in my opinion. What I would do though is do something like itch.io where you can either accept donations on free products or sell products for pretty much whatever price. I am not a big fan of patreon simply because it's a subscription service and there's no way to pick and choose what you buy. It is to be noted that pretty much no one actually uses itch but I personally think it could actually work really well for BeamNG modders. people use a lot of Gumroad Ko-Fi, and BMAC in this community. Very nice skin too btw, my jaw dropped when I saw the sheer level of detail.

i know what you mean, but still i get this as my first thought

finite lark
#

I am testing this niche and understand that my skills should be valued more highly, but unfortunately, the feedback showed a different opinion

pine oracle
#

some people want everything for free

finite lark
pine oracle
#

if you are making skins for money, keep it up

#

you can also try making some free projects (like me lmao) and show everyone that you have really valuable skills with skins

finite lark
#

I would switch completely to Korsa, but I don't know exactly how to do it, because there are more similar Discord channels with their own mods in this game.

pine oracle
#

some people will dm you for private orders like "make me 5 skins of this i will send u money" etc. just need time for this

#

good luck man!

tawny turtle
#

but its pretty stupid imo to sell a single skin for 15$ when you can buy 3-4 full cars for the same price

#

im just saying that if you want to sell to this community its pretty expensive

solid sparrow

u using japancats driftline for the pics?

15 bucks is just overprice

finite lark
limber acorn
#

like 5 bucks can get you a actual high quality dev made car

limber acorn
#

expensive

finite lark
#

Lol

limber acorn
#

i sell a whole bodykit mod early acces for only 2 bucks

#

its a single livery isnt it?

finite lark
#

In any case, my choice is to set the price at 5.

limber acorn
#

is it ONE skin?

finite lark
#

The description shows that there is one skin for $5.

limber acorn
#

damn mate 1 skin for 5 bucks is shamefull

#

imo

finite lark
#

I make skins for $50 in Сorsa, although it's easier to do it there, what are you talking about?

limber acorn
#

5 bucks is way to expensive for ONE single skin

finite lark
#

Can you see what I wrote?

#

I don't want to argue, dude.

limber acorn
#

considering theres whole dev quality cars that took multiple years to make that are 3.5 bucks

#

yeah in my opinion its outragious

finite lark
#

I'm not going to lower the price just because someone spent more time on the mod.

limber acorn
#

and the thing probably is, your gonna get more sales then me 💔

#

well i mean my mod is free

#

but paid ea

finite lark
#

I don't think so, I'll probably switch completely to Assetto Corsa.

limber acorn
#

ive only made 4 sales

finite lark
#

In a game where even the developers have bad UV for applying liveries, what kind of future can we talk about?

short ridge
#

A single skin for 5 bucks is so stupid lol imagine all the people who make skin packs charging 5 bucks per skin instead of them being free

finite lark
#

I've seen enough to have an idea about the local livery designers.

rocky bane

finite lark
#

Or maybe I didn't understand you at all.

#

I am well aware of how vinyl is prepared for installation in real life, so why are you trying to assert yourself at my expense?

short ridge
#

Are you on something make a coherent sentence you made a picture slapped on a single line jbeam it's not worth anything that's why no one makes paid skins and if they do they aren't really part of the community that's why you don't see paid skins all the time in mod section.

short ridge
rocky bane
#

Tho personally I wouldn’t release a single paid skin

#

More like a skin pack or something

finite lark
#

Is that just one picture, are you high? Who else here is high?

image.png
#

Dude, it seems like you just decided to be sarcastic.

rocky bane
#

But yeah this is not just a picture slapped on UVs there is work behind it so I guess it’s worth 5$

short ridge
finite lark
#

ahahahah)

#

I literally sent you proof with layers.

rocky bane
#

Don’t bother

finite lark
short ridge
#

And what is the final product you are selling it's a single image right?

rocky bane
#

His nickname says it all

short ridge

#

You want a medal for doing cars instead of skins

#

Idk

short ridge
finite lark
#

Do designers in real life also end up selling just photos?

rocky bane
#

Take your trophy: 🏆

finite lark
#

Do you even have any idea how liveries are made from scratch, without being stolen or cut out in Photoshop?

#

Or maybe you should record a video on YouTube to boost your ego.

short ridge
#

Yes you use the uv the game provides and you slap ur stickers on it lol

finite lark
#

Calm down, man, it's entirely my choice what to sell and at what price if the moderators have approved my skin.

finite lark
#

What's the point of making a mod and sticking it on, and then selling vinyl that won't fit any body kit just because I'm the only one who has this body kit, or more precisely, UV?

#

Your words seem like an attempt to prove to me that all my work amounts to nothing more than taking a photo from the internet, editing it in Photoshop for five minutes, and selling it for five dollars. That's ridiculous. Keep asserting yourself at the expense of others, because you're “cooler” than them.

short ridge
#

Not cooler just not a person selling a picture for 5 bucks for a body kit that you even said people can't get in it first message lol

finite lark
#

I said what kind of body kit I needed and explained why I couldn't specify it, because I don't know how I could do it correctly.

#

How do you think I can make vinyl common for all body kits around the world?

#

Skin looks cool I just don't think it is worth 5 bucks maybe if it was a big pack or even a pack of 5 or something but for a single skin is kinda out outrageous imo

solid sparrow
#

didnt know you were an expert skinmaker

#

the mod is worth whatever he wants it to be

#

if you dont want to pay you dont have to

#

basic supply and demand

short ridge
# solid sparrow didnt know you were an expert skinmaker

Didn't know how that matters lol. He can charge whatever they want idc I can still voice my opinion, just like everyone else here. If people want it yea they will pay obviously duh. You ever heard of an opinion? Especially when I say in my opinion lol.

some people really cant understand people valuing their own work 😭

#

some opinions are better left unsaid

#

grrrrrrr a skin ill never buy?!??!? ITS PAID????? GRRRRRRRRRRRRR

solid sparrow
#

cause as soon as you try to publish it losers with an "opinion" start crawling out of the woodwork

shaking his fist at the screen

jokes aside tho this skin is cool asf

#

I don't quite understand one thing, a paid skin? It sounds and looks weird, I'm not saying that the skin is terrible, no, it looks great in the screenshots, it's just... weird

pine oracle
#

you cant judge someone because he wants $5 for a skin, and you could pay for a WHOLE CAR

#

he doesnt do it for a hobby like everyone else, you should respect that

#

some people write like they've never paid for something online lmao, if you dont have money, just dont buy it

#

btw not everyone lives in Europe, where $5 is someone's whole salary bruh (not joking, but it's realistic for some countries)

#

so respect that someone wants to try real work, and dont judge beacuse you can even afford it, i woud never buy this skin, but i said how much i would give for this for real

finite lark
#

To be honest, I have already stopped responding to such messages.

pine oracle
#

and that's good

rocky bane
#

Just wondering how many hours did you put in this skin ?

pine oracle
rocky bane
#

Ok ok

pine oracle
rocky bane
#

I see I see

pine oracle
#

and wanted firstly $10-$15 for this, but decided to make it free to share my works for people and then try something more, maybe @finite lark you should take similiar way, present more works, skins etc. (of course it's your decision!) and then try with paid content or just make both at the same time lmao

finite lark
#

for non stop working

rocky bane
#

Yeah 5$ is fair

#

24h for a single skin is a lot of work

pine oracle
#

yeah..

finite lark
#

After everything I've seen here, it sounds like sarcasm, no offense.

pine oracle
#

so i paid about $20 for 1000 custom stickers jdm styled

#

xD

finite lark
#

Soon I will post it here.

pine oracle
#

just do what u re doing man

rocky bane
finite lark
pine oracle
#

and we will see whats next

pine oracle
# finite lark

yeah, it's worth to be paid for me (sorry to users that cant afford $5 skin 🧢)

finite lark
rocky bane
#

No

#

I’m deeply honest

#

24h of work for 1 skin is really a ton of work

#

So yes I’d say it’s worth 5$

finite lark
#

Now it takes so much time, I've learned a lot and was able to pass the time for about a day, but before I used to make vinyl for more than 4 days, sometimes even 5, and often burned out because of it. Obviously, there was less pure working time there.

rocky bane
#

I usually spend 4h-6h and sometimes 8h for the hardest one so

finite lark
#

I spent a whole week working on one order for a customer in Assetto Corsa, as it was my first experience, but I managed to complete it.

rocky bane
#

I don’t do such complex things tbh

pine oracle
finite lark
#

People also advise me to simplify things and lower my prices, but then I won't be able to develop personally, and that's sad.

pine oracle
#

love this shit as hell
