I wouldn't say these are too high! - Artists generally underprice themselves wayyy too much, and the results are usually a burn-out when you have to get enough money to get by and do the workload thrice over or something. I generally try to set my prices to match a roughly 10$/hour rate, which itself is ... not the best wage (at least not where I live), while still keeping the prices within a marketable margin.
Also underpricing doesn't hurt just you but also other artists, because when someone undersells, it usually means other people have to lower their prices to match, and then everyone's exhausted and undervalued c:
