Commission prices?
12 years ago
General
Hello, everybody. Pyron the lil char here.
I've been thinking of finally opening up to do commissions for the first time. The only problem is, I don't know whether people would be willing to pay for my art, and if so, how much I should price my art for. X3
So I'll ask you guys! What is the max you'd be willing to pay for commissions from me? Note that I don't have a tablet so sketches would have to be pencil-drawn.
Here are a couple examples of simple sketches by me: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/7810589/ https://dl.dropbox.com/u/5103660/Pyron%20relaxing%20%282%29.jpg
And here's a full color character pic: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/8553853/
And a full-color "detailed" pic: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/9702641/
How much would you be willing to pay for each of these pics/pics of this quality?
Thanks for your replies!

JUST A NOTE: I'm not asking you guys to decide my prices for me! I'm just trying to get ideas so that I can start deciding on pricing points myself. :3 What you guys tell me isn't necessarily what the prices will be. So don't feel like you're judging me with your prices. X3 I just want opinions. :3

FA+

Sketches: $5-15
Full Color: $20-30
Detailed: Depends on complexity - I'd say around $40-$50
All excluding tips and charges for extra stuff, characters, difficult characters etc.
I was thinking of doing comissions myself so I figured I'd be asking:
Sketches: $5,-
Inked pics: $10,- or $15,-
Flat colours: $15.- or $20,-
Coloured and shaded: $25,- or $30,-
And maybe some individual prices for multiple characters or backgrounds and etc. (You know what I mean. =P)
But like Stompy said: It's hard to determine someone else's prices. So it's best if you decide for yourself. ^w^
That being said: I found Bitcoon's price sheet to be an interesting way of deciding (or calculating) individual costs, so it might be an idea to check out. ;3

Another tip I might be able to give is for you to have at least some form of freedom in doing the comissions, since I know people who
tend to describe every tiny little detail that has to be in the pic, leaving almost 0% of creativity on your side. =w=
(I have done 'requests' in the past and some people can be 'really pushy' when it comes to this, so I figured I warned you beforehand.)
Anyways, I hope I was of help in at least some way or form. ^_^
Sketch - $5 - $8 (Depending on complexity)
Inked - $15 - $18 (Complexity, again)
Flat color - $20 - $25
Fully colored and shaded - $30
I'd definitely make a price sheet and post it on FA. Definitely
one of the better ways to get people interested!
sketches would do great between $5-10
inked/outlined would be good around $10-15
flat color might be nice around $15-20
and finally full fledged color/shade $20-30
that has a bigger range because some can get quite complex :D
My suggestions?
5 for sketches, single character, +3 for every other one.(Based off the two sketches in your scraps)
10 for lined drawings, with +5 for additional characters.
15-20 for flat color, depending on just how much is going on in the scene, and +5 for extra characters
25-30 for full shaded/finished pictures.
Maybe include deals for multi pics, like half off a second picture, and buy 2 get 1 free or the like.
