Comm Price Check!

Commission Price Check thread!
Price other's fucking work when you post your own edition

Want to start doing commissions? Have no idea where to even start with pricing them? This is the thread for you to get opinions from other anons on pricing.

When you pyw price at least 3 other works from the thread. Let's not make this a useless shithole like last time.

There were a lot of comms that got no actual prices or just 1 while great art got many. Even if it is not amazing or grabbing art even someone saying it is worth $5 and they are not ready to start comms is helpful.

You didn't specify what formula you would use for pricing commissions so I assumed it would be something like work hour * minimum wage * 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 depending on your skill + material cost
Now, using that you wouldn't get to millions unless you added $ based on literally nothing other than you know you can sell for it therefore just ignore basic arithmetic and put your work above the one million mark

[Anonymous No.5008249]

>>5008212
There is nothing wrong with "less than" in that sentence

[Anonymous No.5008275]

>>5008249
Other than the fact that it communicates nothing? $5, for example, is less than $800,000. In terms of money, an upper limit is meaningless without also specifying a lower limit. If he/you had said "more than 800k", then it would imply a large amount of money, whereas "less than 800k" implies nothing at all.

You are also assuming that was the reason I was pointing out his/your poor English skills, not the broken English in the post I was replying to.

I'm afraid to post my art and how much I charge in case I offend someone with my prices, I'm sorry. But here goes. I charge $60 for stuff like this. My commissioners think it's fair but if you guys think there's something I can do if it's not worth that price tag let me know.
>>5007925
Your style is very 80's or 90's, I'd say add thicker lines and some cheap post production cheese to make it look retro and you can find people who will commission you for well over $50 a piece.
>>5007772
You remind me of farfin but with coomier proportions, I'm sure you can sell your art for $30 or $40. The shaking lines look off, I'd say redo them with the same brush, make them more subtle or remove them altogether.

Should I thicken all the lines or just some of them? I feel like when I tried line weight I failed at making it look decent/better than thinner lines, and wasn't sure how to incorporate it in my more polished drawings like pic related.

Anyway shadows don't necessarily have to be a darker shade of the color, you can experiment with other color temperatures. The result will make the art more vibrant.

No. Most everyone else is undercharging, across the board. My issue with this is that it's not clear at all what each tier actually entails. Simple & Complex examples look the exact same (Simple arguably looks more 'complex' than Complex) does. What does "Conceptual" even mean?

People will have no idea what they're commissioning based off this current chart.

[Anonymous No.5017551]

>>5017542
I think this is perfectly fine price-wise. Maybe complex should be $350 because I don't see too much difference between that and simple given your examples

Maybe give a brief description of what "conceptual" means. From that image I am guessing it means you can add complex props/bg and that it is more poster-like quality.

[Anonymous No.5017575]

>>5017548
I think the difference between simple and complex is the background + the layers of shit flying around.

Conceptual art means it is supported by concept art. For example, that art is about the Greek Goddess Hera, so within the painting itself has various symbols that are associated to her mythology.

yeah, and I’m telling you you can’t just use established conventions and decide they mean something else and expect your customers to know what that means inside your head nor for them to bother figuring out instead of just moving to a non-retarded alternative

I'd pay $15-$20 for this. Though I expect something like a character profile, with a front view (colored) and a few other poses with it, not colored like how they do those character sheets? I can see it being $20-35 if you do that though but I have to see it to judge it.
>>5007925
$20 colors are a bit weird.
>>5008475
Depends on how you can do on regular poses or something you don't have a normal reference to, $20-30
>>5008522
If this is your work? $35-50 because of the background.

>get actually a few commissions right away, friends suggest i'm even undercharging
the different value money has in better countries is pretty insane and contributes to the undervaluation of online art we see all the time
personally i also blame deviantart kids getting paid in shitty deviantart points or $5-$10 for fully rendered original designs, thanks to those prices art is worthless to the average person
there was a post in a previous thread saying that the starving artist stereotype is perpetuated by artists

[Anonymous No.5017783]

>>5017782
Sh*dman himself said that he thinks all art should be free so the self perpetuated starving isn't too far from the truth

[Anonymous No.5017867]

>>5017855
If art should be free, we are all fucked because creating art cost a lot of money. The tablet needs money. Traditional art material needs money.

Art can never be free, because if it is free, we are all doomed to patronage. Remember Van Gogh? Dude died poor with mental illness, sold only 1 painting. And never reach glory. Now his shit is millions of dollars. His starry eyes must be crying and spiraling in his grave.

If you do, make sure to include the design charts or whatever “concept art” means to you, so the customer knows what they’re paying. Regardless of the naming, right now it just looks like throw in some random additional elements with a higher polish

Where do we get income if not from creating and selling art then? Government gibs? Or are we meant to sell our art through non digital means like prints and stickers?
Adobe pays graphic designers thousands for 3D renders so it's not really feasible for every kind of artist.

[Anonymous No.5018626]

>>5018211
Jesus Christ you're stupid.
If art is AVAILABLE for free, it does not mean there aren't ways to make money with art.
Commission, one of the most popular ways of making money from art, would be completely unaffected. Commission means paying for labor.
Selling prints and originals would also be completely unaffected. Buying art objects means paying for a limited physical good.
You can even still continue to sell digital files and packs of files, and people will still buy them if the service to get the file(s) is convenient. Being transferred a specific file or group of files on request means paying for a service of convenience.

>Adobe pays graphic designers thousands for 3D renders so it's not really feasible for every kind of artist.
And they still could, because that's commission.

For my case I don't know how much to charge for my art, so I don't know what to tell others.
Everyone that's here wants to know, so why would you ask them if they don't know in the first place?

>>5019643

Thanks for contributing by replying with prices anyways though in >>5020471

As for your post asking for prices,
1 would be $3, 2 would be $40ish, 3 would be $65, 4 if I could see the front it could help because how the face looks in that style is important, but $70-$75?

I'm not sure if this is the right place for this. Someone is interested in a commission from me and I've set the price at $90 but they also want to buy the rights to the image and I have no idea what kind of a price to put on that. I've googled the hell out of this and all the answers I get are useless, I don't even have a ballpark figure. Does anyone have an idea how much to charge ideally as a flat rate percentage of the $90 I was going to charge for just a regular commission?

yes, commercial use, he's a writter but hasn't gone into exactly how he's going to use it

[Anonymous No.5021239]

>>5021218
Commercial use should cost at least double, and I always go for a small royalty as well. Royalties can really add up even at a low percentage.
If you are not sure that his book will sell well I would go with a higher up front cost with a smaller royalty, such as $250 with a 5% royalty. If the royalty amount is questioned it should be pre-tax (ex: For every $20 book sold you get $1)

I get royalties for prints of a poster I made for a local music artist and off of shirts and tote bags from a store, I don't see why a book would be any different. It is still something that is using your art to directly profit for themselves and 5% is an extremely reasonable royalty

>>5021298
$250 for the total up-front cash amount. Only go for $90+$250 if you have a strong feeling they would accept or if taking less for something they are profiting off of would make you uncomfortable.

[Anonymous No.5021330]

I wish I could tell you about my process, I kinda just do it

But I do know how to start, separate your planes and start by your values and your composition
Always go back and check everything from far, flip the canvas, sketch on top, etc. Two steps forward, one step back.
The farthest the lighter, rules of thirds
Then it's just... painting and throwing brushstrokes

It definitely is not, because no one in this thread knows a fucking thing about pricing.

To elaborate, licensing fees depend highly on what type of illustration it is and what the client intends to use it for.
For instance, a color, interior spot illustration for a young adult novel is expected to be $200-400, with licensing fees broken down as follows:
Sale of original art - 50-200%
Stock sale of existing art for use in books only - 50-100%
Work-for-hire transfer of legal authorship; all rights - 100-300%

But again, without more information you can't really get a full answer.
The book I mentioned also has sample contracts and forms for artists. Get it and don't take business advice from anyone on here, least of all in these threads.
