So.... Now I finally have time to paint, and how to say.. How much would you pay for each style? How much is a fair price considering all the time to do and everything? Human and quad needs a similar time, so is the same thing for me.

I'm also thinking in start an anime style similar to "k anime",or in other words, a non "realistic" anime style. I have to try it first, but how much would be the right price for something like that?

Wow, these are amazing! I'd say at LEAST 15mil each for the more detailed things, if not more, and about 8mil for the less detailed stuff down to 4mil for sketches and the like? Maybe give or take 1 or 2mil for all of these.

I think you shouldn't charge less than 120 ~ 150 million / 4000 ~ 5000 CSC for your realistic full body images (waist-up) -- judging from your recent work, and even the drawing of Yuri (my previous username was hoar) you had done for me almost a year ago (which is still my favourite piece of art I've commissioned EVER,) along with the time it takes, that is how I would image you'd charge at minimum. I'm sure you can charge slightly more for more complicated designs (mecha, etc.) Busts can be in the 100 million range, or so. I AM SO SORRY IF THIS IS LOW augh i haven't seen many artists of your quality here and i'm bad at art valuation. Full body can go to 200 million, imo. SP value is deflated more since the last time I had commissioned people, I imagine.

The same, or at least a similar price goes for your detailed backgrounds -- I've seen some artists charge even higher for backgrounds exhibiting less detail and technical skill compared to yours.

"Badly Rendered Backgrounds" (which aren't even that badly rendered) would probably fall around the 80 million - 100 million range. "Badly Rendered People" would scale from possibly 30 million sP /1000 CSC (fullbody), and then lower for waist/busts. Lineart Turnaround is variable; it depends on how long it takes you/how large/complex the lineart is. Artists usually charge less for lineart than a coloured piece, but I think the quality of your lineart (especially if cleaned/not rough sketches) can be at the 45 million range for 3 poses/turns, and higher for more, or slightly higher for fullbody. Shaded Turnaround would be higher than lineart turnaround, due to the additional labor of color. 50% Cartoonish 50% Realistic would probably be no less than 60 million for full body (but probably way higher. I don't see many artists with that style so I can't gauge.) 50% Anime 50% Realistic would probably be in 45 million for full body or so.

I hope this helps, if only a bit!

Hoooar! (Ok, now pax) :D That helped a LOT. And so detailed! Thank you! I'm totally glad to know you liked the Yuri's bust this much <3

I don't know if is low, but since I don't have to pay my bills yet I think is ok. lol If was a real work, could have a problem maybe. (But i'm learning 3D and I plan to work with that for games, sooo..)

And well, I kinda disappeared for almost a year because college "group" works but now i think I'm back. At least till february/march. c:

So I don't have a normal anime example to show when I open a shop on the other forum, do you want one as a freebie? ^^ Can be fanart, original, whatever.

Edit: OMAnything, you still using Yuri as a profile background o

Happy new year! :D

No worries, I'm glad to have helped some! :3 I will be checking around other threads to see if I have a good price benchmark for you. (: Haha, yes -- while I can still pay my RL bills and while Paypal doesn't accept transfer to any bank in my country yet, if ever I open art commissions, I am fine with sp/csc for now. And eeee, 3D? Are you using an Autodesk program (Maya/3Ds Max), or something else? Really interesting nonetheless; I barely have the technical skill to pull 3D off though (we had to take it during a summer camp back in HS, I only remember some of the robotics programming, C# work, and the biochemistry labs.) I'd be excited to see a game spurned from your imagination, even if it isn't something too fancy -- but I think your style fits some of those exploration games I see sometimes.

Hahah I KNOW THE FEELING, university got very hectic that I took a break from the site for almost 5 months or so. Except in our case it's less group work than "individual work with the load of 6 people". xD I do have thesis now but we haven't been allowed to do experimentation yet for it, so I'll be around until that gets too busy. Good luck with college, by the way! c:

Aaaaa i'd super appreciate it, if you are game for it tthank you so much aaaah ;__; I do have this one character I wanted art of -- would you prefer for me to message the ref to you or on your shop though kdhdj

AND YES Yuri is still my profile background, and I am using the same in my wallpaper, lol * o * i'm sorry i kind of used him everywhere i can!
