Messing with commission prices. [Input loved!]
14 years ago
General
Ripped from the headlines, it's another pointless journal entry!
I've been wanting to revise my commission prices for awhile now, but never got around to it. I figured I'd ask for input too.
Clean
Sketch -- $10
Inked -- $15
Colored (No background) -- $20
Adult
Sketch -- $15
Inked -- $20
Colored (No background) -- $25
$5 per additional character (not sure what the max would be; depends on how many).
I don't do coloring due to the fact I hate the way I color (I feel like it's third grade quality), but I figure the only way I'll ever get better is to suck it up and do it anyway. I'm also going to try to do at the very LEAST some sort of background to most drawings as well. Hate drawing them, but again, won't get better unless you practice them.
I might even have to consider charging more for coloring, not because I'm a greedy fuck but because I use copics on most pieces and those things are $3-5 bucks a pop if I have to replace them. ._. Some of the commissions I did for my good friend
mousran had me go through several of one color for several commissions. I may be revisiting using colored pencils instead over copics, since they are more expensive...
So, here is the thing about my prices (as I'm well aware several artists charge much less for more). I'm not fluent enough in using my tablet (I'm still trying to figure out the damn thing!) and I hand draw all of my stuff. I will sometimes use my shadowbox to ink lines and then color that piece (if the drawing calls for that).
What do you guys think? Do these prices seem reasonable or way too much?
And don't worry Randall, I haven't forgotten about you. :] ♥
