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?

Edit:No I’m not saying what you should/shouldn’t charge for your pieces. That’s up to you.
I’m talking to supposed commissioners that think it’s too expensive.
This is the hours of your life they’re spending.

If you’re gonna put a price tag on that make it worth that time and effort. For your own sanity.
I wanted to post this so those artists that have been discouraged by “too expensive for me” comments.

And updated the photo, $500-9500 for bw art hahaha 6u6

Edit2: I kinda worded “Fandom” to mean like, furry, anime, superhero, not really fan-characters at all. Sorry if that confused/go misread, I’m not sure how to describe this ‘group’ of the average price range 8Ia

Apologies….also didn’t expect for this to be so huge but it’s been interesting reading c8

AND I didn’t feel right stealing from google images for example pictures which is why my own is up there. No I don’t expect $2000+ for it, not even $200, not unless I had to repaint in oils on a big BIG ASS CANVAS haha.

Trust me when I say a lot of artists are paranoid and scared of their own prices. This estimate as far as industry goes is to remind you your time IS worth something. Will we all get there? That’s up to us for how hard we’re willing to go.

I will say though I’ve gotten industry standard payment for LESS quality art years back. The artwork is an embarrassment now, but getting $300ish for it STUNNED me, I was so used to peanuts I didn’t feel I deserved it, made me realise that I’m at least capable though. I lucked out but I knew to keep trying.

That’s the point I want to make really :/ Don’t give up. If you love it.

Whatever you want to do with your life make sure you LOVE doing it and people don’t take advantage of your hard earned skills.

That’s enough rambling from me now I will go back under my rock 8I

Edit3: As people are still missing the point.

Commissioners, don’t expect industry standard artwork for $30. That’s all there is to this post :/ You can stop reading into stuff that isn’t there now, kay.

This is just a million times true, no arguing.

And this is real wisdom:

Apparently these arrived yesterday while I was driving up to Valencia, along with my Michael Hampton and FORCE books. It was a bit late for me to use their marvelousness on my portfolio anyway, but they are still the best late arriving Christmas gifts ever (my mommy and her boyfriend are awesome). Now I have just about ever drawing and animation book I could want, as well as most art supplies.

I am so stoked right now. My portfolio is sent off and now all further results are beyond my control, my financial state is back to okay, I have had food, I have had sleep, and life is very good.

It is three in the morning and you are drawing and you have been for hours. And you are thinking, “I can’t do it. I cannot do it. I quit art forever!”

And then something you draw makes you laugh hysterically as you are drawing it. So you take another sip of coffee and keep drawing for the sheer joy in the act of drawing.

Date painted- 1870

I love paintings of children. For me images of them, or them with their parents, says more about the time and about humanity than any other subjects.

Watercolor pencils are awesome!

My favorite part is that you don’t have to water the color til later. It’s awesome.

I want to work here! So that I can make these beautiful things.
Seriously. If I was paid to do this, then I think that would count as being paid to do art. Which would make me—by my definition—an artist.

A note of advice to all you aspiring artists out there. Don’t eat at your workspace. And if you absolutely have to eat at your workspace, make sure you 1) have cleaned up your workspace before hand and gotten stuff out of the way or 2) are not clumsy enough to actually trip and…
