I already have a shop open but I keep getting told my prices are way to low. But I'm not sure how to price my art.
Examples
Pixely Cheebs- X This is a newer style I'm doing, so its more experimental.
Those are all my current examples of things I'm offering. If I could get some suggestions with sp/csc/usd I would be grateful! Thank you!
How much are you currently asking for each category of examples? Also, how long does it usually take you to complete a chibi, partial full body, full body, etc.?
Prices
Chibi- Sketch-500k Lines-900k Flat-1 mil Shaded-1.5 mil Additional characters are 500k
Partial Full Body- Sketch-1 mil Lines-1.5 mil Flats-2 mil Shaded-3 mil Additional characters are 1 mil
Full Body- I was only accepting bribes for full body, thats because they took me the longest.
Pixel Cheebs- These are a pay what you want category for now as well.
As for how long they take me, I can do a chibi and sketches in the other categories in one day. But lining, flats, and full color can take me up to 2 maybe 3 days at the most days depending on complexity.
Oh wow, yeah I'd definitely say you under-price your artwork. You're very good, and I'm sure lots of people would be interested in your work (I love the chibis). I would pay $5-$7 for your chibis at least (500-700 csc), which technically is 16 mil to 22.4 mil (3.2 mil for every 100 csc). Of course, you can always adjust the price to whatever you feel is fair. I just think you have quality artwork, especially if it takes you a while.
As far as the partial full body, I would pay anywhere from $8-12 for flat and $15+ for shading (depending on complexity and shading). Sketches and lines are totally up to you. I think it's a little harder for me to price either one since I'm not sure how long or how difficult it is to do a sketch or linework. SO flat colors would be 1000-1200 csc, or 32-38.4 mil. Fully shaded is at least 1500 csc or 48+ million. Of course, this is just my opinion, and being an artist myself, I like to offer as much as I think a piece of work deserves. In your case, I love your style (I think it's very fun and unique), so I would be willing to pay more for your art!
Most people like the conversion of 100 csc= 5 mil, so you can always ask for more. If that's the case, then I would price your chibis at 25-35 mil, flats at 50-60 mil and full color at 75+ mil.
I really hope this helps but feel free to ignore me completely. You've got talent, and I might be requesting a few chibis from you sometime when I have more money! ;D
That was actually really helpful. Thank you for your opinion! I've seen that 100csc=5mil conversion used a lot. But after all that I might change my prices up soon.
And thank you, I will look forward to any commission you may want in the future. (/^â–½^)/ And thank you again for the pricing suggestions.
