I understand where you're coming from, but there are artists here who do full body(and do it quite well) who only ask for what?3-4k ec MAX?This isn't even a full body to begin with, it's simply a portrait.You'll still be getting buyers, but not as many as before.People like Astralis(I'm gonna use you as an example sorry babe) has made portraits of people, and she does it in a realistic manner.If you're that busy in your life, then why not take your time on these portraits one on one?That's just my point of view anyway, it's your art and you get to decide how much you want to sell it, but maybe put a reasonable price?Also, this is a game not real life.
The game is the game. I'm a real person with real time, a real life and real needs. I have other personal artistic projects and am trying to make a professional career out of them. This is for fun, but if it's cutting into time I could otherwise be putting towards real life projects then I at least need some decent compesnation to feel like it's worth it. Comparing other artists is like comparing apples and oranges. We all have vastly different skill ranges, styles as well as experience. Pricing is a culmination of all of those in addition to wages per hour. A fullybody portrait is never going to be worth the exact same as another artist's fullbody. I do cel-shading which happens to cut down on more time than an artist whow would utizlize full blending techniques. In addition, an artist with 4 years experience is going to be cheaper than an artist with 10 years experience and so on. Art isn't mass produced, it's tailor made. I might get less buyers, but I also would get paid more. At the current price, one commission is worth 8 times the previous amount. It's as if I would be drawing for 8 people in one sitting. If you guys don't think my art is worth 8k, it's as simple as not buying from me.
I would if I'd care about the things he sells, which I don't.I'm not complaining about pricing ijs, tbh if I was still playing AND farming hell if I'd have taken off my spot, it's amazing art.But she said she's doing it mostly for fun. And I won't say more cuz then ppl will say I'm a b!tch lol
i remember the fashion
Take it like this, you go buy a bread which it says its 1$ then at the register u find out that while u looked for potatos they raised the price to 8$. That's the only thing I didn't see fair, if I know I don't have the ecs for a piece of art which is amazing I wouldn't order it in the first place to confuse and take someone else's spot who could have paid. I do appreciate someone who can draw and everyone should know that about me, her art is amazing and not only but I don't remember someone here raising the price while still having a list on. Or if they did ,it wasnt 8x higher.And about your art, if you'd take commissions on dA or patreon or something with real money when I get my card I'd be first to buy, tbh I've wanted another drawing from you for months I just feel too bad to even dare to ask you for one knowing its for free and how much work u have to do with fash.
art-making is unlike anything else in the world. the only argument is that it is worth exactly what the buyer is willing to pay. period. there should not be any other argumentation whatsoever and putting down the artist by comparing him/her to other artists is very demeaning to that particular artist, and to others in general.experience, time, techniques/mediums and/or efforts are absolutely irrelevant when it comes to digital art, and even if the real art market is different (for real, traditional art-making), the same principle applies: whatever buyers are willing to pay is what drives it.as someone said, if you cannot afford it, just walk by, find another artist but respect every artist and their works.
Digital art is not any less real than traditional art.And those things are not irrelevant at all. Digital art still requires time and effort, has technique with it and still requires experience to be good at it.
idk if you read the DA forums but there, i was shocked to learn that many digital artists are unable to draw with pen/paper or to paint with any medium (watercolour, oils, etc), and many admit being too lazy to try.
