I could really use the help since I'm new to this place and not entirely familiar with what's considered a lot of tu and not a lot of tu. >3>

Here is one example of my original character with her herd of 'legendary' Gondras.

Please excuse the watermarks and the size, as those are for the protection of my ORIGINAL art. Final, completed commissions will not have this watermark.

One last thing; If you want to see more of my artwork, including my paintings (which would be higher priced), please click the link in my signature for my Deviantart gallery. If you're interested in a commission, please don't hesitate to Rmail me to haggle a price. c:

That's beautiful. o3o I'd say a good 2-3 million at least, if the quality is the same. All in all, don't settle for anything less than 500k. I made the mistake of selling for 10k apiece and ended up swamped. Let me know if you open up some commissions. x3 I'd love to order some.

In my opinion, you should price based on how long it takes and how much trouble you go through. So I suppose 200k-500k for coloured lineart like that.

But I think you should just let your customers offer for your at first to get a gist of how much people are willing to pay for your work.




I (HATE)' YOU

Feel the love man D:<

Thank you guys so much for the help. As far as how long it takes, this one only took me about three hours altogether. I do intend to shade it, which I think would jack up the price somewhat, but yes. Thanks for the help, and I think I'll go with a combination of both of yours. Don't settle for less than 500k, but let the customers offer.

Lucky: No, don't listen to them. :) I'm an artist as well, and you can get way more than 2mil for something like that. I got approximately 9mil for this: http://fc01.deviantart.com/fs50/f/2009/308/2/e/Uwi_Commission___HUG_by_Owlheart.png

And your art is even more complicated. So. yeah. try an auction, that's what I do. :)

Ohh, an auction? That might be interesting. I've never held one before. Or rather, I tried to on Gaia, but did awful since I couldn't keep up with it. >>; Oh well, that was years ago. Maybe I could try again. What would a good starting bid be?

-.-

And another chance of me getting good art goes down the tubes.

Not everyone can afford phenomenal arts.

But I suppose, since I'm desperate for art, I'll start with 6mil. -.-

I think if all your art is about the same quality, a lineart would be 1-3mil, flat colores 3-4mil, and shaded(Though I have yet to see shaded, i'm going based on what I think it would look like based on the quality of your work) 5-6mil.

 

Nice work, though the prices would be completely up to you.

As mentioned before, an auction would probably be best.

 

I personally, make my art free and if they wish to tip, I let them do so. :) Or sometimes I enter in a contest. Mostly for the fun rather than they prize, though.

There's another example. Sorry it's kinda small. The actual thing is much bigger here.

That's what I'd do for shaded.

O_o 500k? What is this insanity? lol I would pay ATLEAST 5 mil for a colored piece.
And if I were you I wouldn't ask for less. Your art is brilliant. <3

I'm with Ray. Wouldn't pay less than 5 million for a commission. Stunning work.
