haven't been on subeta much lately (pretty much enough for the masquerade plot) but i have an art shop open and, after peeking around the market a little bit, i'm pretty sure i could be asking a little bit more for what i'm doing. the problem is, i'm not quite sure how much more.

currently i'm charging around 2m for something like this, around 500k-1m for something like this, and around 250k for something like this.

i definitely don't want to overprice, but i wanna make some sP so i can buy art and it's pretty slow going atm. ;o; so...how high can i go?

please help!

your art is /very/ underpriced! it's such an adorable style, and you're charging less than $1 for it! i suggest you think of how much to charge in USD first and then find the equivalent in sP. how long do these usually take you, before i suggest any prices? c:

(blush) i mean it's not that great!! thtphp u-uhhh i mean fullbodies take a couple hours, four tops, depending on if they're painterly or not, and cheebs/sketches usually only take an hour or two. ;o; honestly i was thinking of bumping up to like....5m per fullbod. (huffs) (your art is really adorable wow) (thank)

it is!! it's a nice original style with great anatomy and p dynamic as well and i'm definitely interested uvu these take pretty long! i heard one can get $7/hour (20 mil+ sP) to say hi to people at walmart, y'know, and your skill is worth much more than that!

if you're afraid of not getting interest because of high prices, start low and build up as you get popularity.

you should bump these fullbodies to at least 10m, the chibi no lower than 7m and 5m for sketches, at least. that's a rough guess, i'm terrible at pricing, but that's just a starter.

(thanks!! so is yours uwu)

(pfft i missed the ping group in your forumset sorr y)

yeah, but it's more of an exercise in pretending i'm an adult and the responsibility that comes with commissions, hehe uwu since i'm still supported financially by my parents i'm mostly hoping to sort of build up enough credibility to start taking real money when i can actually use it!! (you still make a fair point! i've always had a hard time underpricing myself so yes thank you very much a lot aahh) (i will be also stalking your slots gosh)

i can understand that, i'm often underpricing myself too;; at least here on subeta it's not too big of an issue since artists who need the money are often out at tumblr and such as well...
