Opening Commissions Soon!!?
10 years ago
I am finishing up some personal art to use as examples! I also read up a lot on artists who do commissions and they say to never under charge as when you up your prices sooner or later it'll be met with negative feelings... That being said, before I make prices. What do you feel are fair?
Any opinions on busts, full bodies, and such would be great as I am only getting voices from close friends of mine. So my advice doesn't go too far as my friend pool is small haha.
I'd love to involve the community on this one since you guys are the ones to potentially ask for some. Though obviously if you're telling me to charge too low, I'm probably not going to regard it when I make my chart. Time is money, friend!!!

I've actually found that undercharging early on is a good thing. It brings in a lot of customers who can then post your art themselves, quickly getting you some attention to build up watchers. It also puts an association in peoples' brains that your art is affordable, and that association can stick around well after you've raised the prices... There are some artists I still consider as being "cheaper" than others, even if they actually cost more now.
...But then I'm someone who wants to commission you for stuff, so you probably don't want my advice on pricing. :p
