Art Pricing Help?

baileyamundsen14 • 31 March 2017 at 10:44 AM

[I hope this is the right place to ask this in].
Hello hello hello! I'm returning after a very long break (about 2+ years long), and over that break I have greatly improved in my digital art, and now I want to start on art shop on here. (I'm going to switch to another account here shortly, so if I do make an art shop it will be on that account).

But the thing is - I have no idea what my art would go for on here. Could I please have some averages on how much my art would go for on here in /both/ EC and CC? I would really appreciate it. ;o;

Here are some examples of my art; (both regular digital art + pixel art).

Don't mind the different signatures / sites I upload to, I have a few art shops spread around on different websites, and I always use my name on the website in specific as my signature for all the art I do for commissions on the site.

Furret / Fur is for my Pokeheroes account. SCB / the watermark are for my DeviantArt, which is SugarCoatedBuns. (The name "Hannah" on my DA is my alias). Hex / Hexis are for Flight Rising. (And hopefully, soon, Egg Cave as well).

> Just mentioning this so no one thinks I'm an art thief. :'D

Please and thank you for any help!! ;u;

@baileyamundsen14

Wow...your art is really good! You should charge EC in millions, or CCin hundreds 😱 amazing!

baileyamundsen14 • 31 March 2017 at 11:30 AM

@icesparkle22

Aaa, thank you! ;o; But really would it go for that much?..

icesparkle22 • 31 March 2017 at 11:31 AM

@baileyamundsen14

I would price it if it was my art, it's wonderful 😃

50-200 CC or its equivalent in ec sounds fair 😊

baileyamundsen14 • 31 March 2017 at 11:34 AM

@icesparkle22

;u; that in itself sounds wonderful

Of course I will wait and see what others have to say as well before making a decision, but thank you for the input! ❤️ I will keep it in mind. ^u^

Your art is stunning! I definitely would want a commission from you!

Try to look at previous art shops and look at their quality of art to price and try and to base a price on that.

@baileyamundsen14
Holy! 😱 I would definitely charge the price @icesparkle22 stated! 😃

Out of curiosity..... what do you use to make digital art? XD I love drawing, unfortunately I'm confined to pencil and paper ;-; I really want to try out digital art, but I've never found a site T^T

@skyfall4

Oh, thank you ;o; That really is so much more than I expected and I'm rather pleased. (This is my new main, by the way, I'm still @baileyamundsen14)!

I have a drawing tablet (One by Wacom < literally the name of the thing) and the program I use is Fire Alpaca. I definitely recommend Fire Alpaca, it's a free download and pretty easy to use.
..I remember the pain of my pencil and paper days! 😋

@hexis
😃 ❤️ no problem!

Oh! Thank you very much! 😃 I should write that down somewhere.... otherwise I'll forget in 30 seconds XD

@hexis
oohhhhh, your art style is very cute! reminds me of those awesome fakemon you'd see on DA HAHAHAHA
for the pricing, well i'll agree with what was mentioned above, but hmmmmm maybe you can also take into consideration the size of the image? like if it's a small one maybe 50 cc? then medium would be 100cc, and large (idk how large lmao) would be 200-300 cc depending on the complexity of the design? 😊
Although to make it fair to other users who don't really use cc, they can also pay in ec! 😊

In the past (on other websites) I have based prices off the complexity of the characters commissioned to me, and yes the size as well.. I mean I mostly do full body art and it's pretty big, so I usually resize it to 500 x 500 - and even if I don't re-size it I don't often don't do anything smaller than 500 x 500. (I have it set as my auto-size for my canvas). What about that then? I feel like I would still base it more off of complexity.

Like for my pixels - those are almost always done on a 150 x 150 canvas but I often times base their price off of the animation. I have animation usually set in 3 tiers - stagnant, simple animation (like blinking), and complex animation (multiple movements, wind blowing, etc). .. so? What about that?

@skyfall4

Glad I could be of service! :>

@hexis

Ahhhh!!! *O*
Dang I love your art so much!!! 😃
I should try to commission you some time!! ❤️

Do you use photoshop? 😱 Or maybe Sai? 😋
IDK how to use either just yet. 😋 I have photoshop, but no experience with it. ^^" ATM I'm stuck using Mypaint. 😋

hexis • 11 April 2017 at 10:48 PM

@prairie

Aaa, thank you so much ;w; ! I use Fire Alpaca. It's definitely something I recommend trying out, since it's /free/ and easy to use 😃

I think I will get an art shop up and running here, shortly. My stylus has been lost for over a month now, but luckily this Sunday is my birthday and my mom is getting me a new stylus ^^;

prairie • 11 April 2017 at 11:35 PM

@hexis

Huh! 😱 I've never heard of that program. 😊 I'll have to check it out!! 😃

Cool beans! 😃 Go for it! 😸
Oh geeze, I hate it when stuff like that happens. 😋 I lost mine for a while, only to find I misplaced it in a pen holder bucket, it was camouflaging. XD

Happy early b-day!! 😃 ❤️

solnyshko • 13 April 2017 at 7:57 AM

@hexis
hmm, you've got a point. well if you have a standard size for your works, then i guess it's better to base the price on how complex the art is!

also i feel like the gif ones should be the most expensive, bc it's the hardest to do, isn't it?

hexis • 13 April 2017 at 8:07 AM

@carnesiel

Yeah, the gif ones would be the most expensive ^^
