Yeah I know that. I work on a completely different ladder for non fetish works that I do, I'm just looking at it purely from a quality perspective, since I am so critical of my art.
I think you are great at what you do! Your prices are certainly a good deal at what they are and I could see if fair to up them a bit. Though I would like to get something from you at the current price list. x3
Your prices as they are, they're pretty reasonable, but some may feel they are a little underpriced for what they are, but me, I think they're just about right as they currently are. But if you feel the need to either raise or lower your prices then you should if you feel it's right to do so, then again you don't have to please everyone about your prices. ^^
Prices are based on supply and demand, if you feel rising prices would not alienate your customer base, then by all mean rise your prices but remember its a competitive market in the online world. People always go on that rate about well for hourly you make this much and this much time goes into making art and compare art to real life artist who charge xy and z.
Well this is the question I ask you , do you feel your prices are low ? It seemed since you ask you must feel that way
Do I enjoy drawing what I am or is it work to me ? People can value their time, but remember when something is more of a hobby then a job its okay to keep a lower cost, but if you are good at something never do it for free.
Are my prices realistic? Take into account minimal wage, people use this as a guideline into pricing art cost, time and effort, but fail to see that most novice artist, don't take into account the proper taxes you should be paying as a contracted works.
people can whine to me all day that they aren't making enough to live on but they aren't even properly keeping track of how much they owe the government at the end of the year and I feel bad when the banks or paypal eventual pass on their information about all the back taxes they owe.
If you are going to rise your prices keep in mind what you will make and need to put to the side and realize that prices effect a lot of things and just because prices go up doesn't necessity mean you will have more at the end, but if you do it right you can see a little more in your pocket and no alienation of your customer base and Uncle Sam is auditting you from a yearly report from paypal or the bank.
furry prices/deviantart prices are all way lower than standard >__0

In my opinion, though, I'd say the prices are just right for your quality of work and usual subject matter.
