From Requests To Commissions
3 years ago
General
I don’t know if anyone even cares or reads this, but… I’m writing it here anyway.
Now that I have gotten a few requests, still more than I ever expected, I have decided it may be a good moment to start asking money for drawings. The reasons mostly have to do with me realizing that I do spend time for others on these things. No matter if my quality is lower than other talented artists on this site, that effort should be worth something at least.
In a way it’s also just an experiment to see if my works actually matter to people. To be blunt, I wonder if others actually liked my work and thus wanted drawings because of my artstyle or they think my quality is decent… or just because I drew for free. If it’s the latter, then tough luck from now on. So here is my question to you, is me spending time drawing for you worth it to pay?
But considering the quality, I will keep the price very low. It’s simple: 5 euros per character drawn. Considering how much prices normally are, I think this is very generous. Backgrounds do not add to the price in any way. And generally the detail of the character doesn’t matter either. (Unless you ask me to draw something overly complex, then I will either ask for more or outright deny the commission)
I’ll see how this goes. Maybe something comes from it.
However, I have gotten a few requests before this post that are still in the works. These requesters will NOT have to pay, because they asked before this. Seems only fair. But for those who soon see a request specifically in my gallery, this is why. But from now on, asking me for drawings will make it a commission.
