Hello, I've recently joined the site, and I see some people making tu off their commissions. I feel like doing this as well, but I'm unclear on two things:
1. How does commissioning work? As in, once someone pays me and I paint it, do I just post it on some art/picture sharing site and link the buyer  to it?
2. How much would people be willing to pay for a my NON BACKGROUND coloured pieces:
For example:
ject height="355" width="450">bed/view.swf?1">bed src="http://backend.deviantart.com/em
bed/view.swf?1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" flashvars="id=259448064&width=1337" allowaccess="always" height="355" width="450">
ject>

I don't do backgrounds because it'll take me far too long. I was thinking of making my cell-shading paintings cheaper...


ject height="466" width="450">bed/view.swf?1">bed src="http://backend.deviantart.com/em
bed/view.swf?1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" flashvars="id=263612739&width=1337" allowaccess="always" height="466" width="450">
ject>

Again please remember that my commissions on Rescreatu DO NOT HAVE BACKGROUNDS.

you could creck the artist dictionary (http://www.rescreatu.com/forum/cat/arts/artgen/the-artist-directory/~page/2/) they have some other artist work samples and prices there, so you can compare. I say atleast 600K to a 1mil though for your work

I think 2-4 mil wouldn't be overpricing. ;D I know you said you don't do backgrounds, but they really are amazing, and would make your piece worth like. Ten mil+. xD



Well now. I should... Probably put something intelligent here. At some point. Eventually.

comparing work to other artist on Res is not really the best thing to do.

Some people can take hours to do a simplish drawing, while more experienced people could do epic work in a few minutes.
Also some people put alot of effort into work while others simply don't care about quality, so long as they get payed.
a busy schedule is also to be considered.

so you should price it to the way YOU want it priced, depending on YOUR needs.
But it doesn't hurt to ask people on prices, but that doesn't mean you have to buckle to their suggestions simply because not everyone will afford it
