Heck I'd pay a lot for something like this.
I prefer the sketchier, rough look over something that's 100% tailored and clean.

I seem to struggle pricing my work tbh. I figured if I was to work on something for exactly 30 minutes then $12 usd per full body character maybe... but then I'd find it hard drawing a character I wasn't used to in that kind of time.

I'm with you I prefer loose doodles. :)

Hm... Perhaps a disclaimer then? For people like me who enjoy this kind of thing, it'd be a shame to miss out on the opportunity.
Just offer the comm but put: "buy at your own risk"

yeah I usually do that if I think it won't be exactly the same as the example

Humor me~ About how much would you ask for an experimental timed doodle then?

Well I've only been thinking about it within the last few days... but I figured maybe the minimum price that could be paid would be $3, which would be only a five minute head doodle. Pretty messy. Each dollar added would be an extra 2.5 minutes of drawing time though.

That said if someone paid $10 then the time would be 25 minutes (I could add some time boosts after certain milestones are hit...). $12 would be 30 minutes...

$24 would be a little over an hour (this is probably starting to getting more into more refined sketches kind of time though - if it was a single character). It would certainly make for a better wage. And I'd still have some leeway so I could keep working for a few more minutes if I needed to finish a part I was working on. That and because I'm pitted against a timer I'll hopefully (in theory) be faster since I can't procrastinate by checking tumblr 50 times an hour :P

But to answer your question~ something like this image would probably be somewhere between $12 and $18 for a single character if I was to go with the timed method. Basically a coloured doodle could somewhere between 30 and 45 minutes - sometimes it can take me a little while to find a pose I like. I spent about 10 minutes trying to get this pose down.

Hm, I see. Will if you're interested, I have $12 to spare and I'd love to see what you could do with an unfamiliar OC. Perhaps you consider it a test to see it you even offer this method in an official manner

Sure~ if you're happy to give it a shot - so am I.

Just note me if you're still interested. :)

Very much so~
I'll write you right away~
