Pricelists Industry vs Fandom.
Finally made.
If anyone would care to donate a coloured comic page for the comic industry standard list I’m willing to accept one and will give credit c8 I would’ve made one if I had an example but I don’t -A-
But yes that’s off my chest.
Of course this is based off my own browsing over price lists and how I work unfortunately my commissioner homie went idle so I can’t confirm the most vs the least one can spend.
I’ve only found one artist thus far that charges nearly as close to industry standard. Even then it’s under the standard. As far a I’m concerned anyone under the standard shouldn’t have complaints about expensive art. Fandom average is hardly one you can live by.
Would you like to get paid $30 for 3-7 days worth of work?
Yeah hey, everyone look at this. This is what EVERY artist should be able to charge, even if just the lower rungs.
Gosh
ahahah ok, this actually made me remember one moment that happened on a local Con this summer, we were doing commissions there, and we were drawing A5 format chibies for 5LT(2$) they were lined, colored and looking all nice and this girl comes to us asking about prices and we tell her that chibi drawing is 2$ and she said: wow that`s too expensive and walked away.
ahahahah if only she saw this post :”D
mandatory reblog
sad but true
it’s hard to price things because people complain saying “that’s too expensive for a picture” and I just wanna simultaneously facepalm, headesk and tableflip everything and then ollie into the sun
Not everyone can afford the true price of art and I love when people commission me for what I set as my prices but it still sucks when I need to undersell myself to get any business
its cool because it costs thousands of dollars to commission a few minutes or so of music.
and people are like “fifty dollars for 1-5 minutes that is highway robbery. you should be ashamed of yourself.”
Ok sure guy.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAH. Oh god people bitch about the prices!? As someone who is a COMMISSION WHORE, just - reblogging this so hard.
Yep. I’m at the low end of fandom average probably (hard to say since I’m a traditional artist and will freaking -mail- it to you if you buy something) and I get the feeling that I’m too expensive for most. =_= I haven’t had a commission in months but I could have done lots of “requests.”
Sadly, even though I undersell myself I still don’t get clients. Some of my peers have been asking me to raise my prices but I worry if I raise it I’ll get even less clients……I already rarely get clients with the ridiculously low prices I charge. OTL;;;;
I wish I can charge industry standard. Then I won’t have to work for two months after one commission and still have enough to live by. ; _;
