I have been debating trying to do commission on Subeta but unsure what to price my art at.

If I could get so rough estimates in sp and csc for my sketching, lining, and coloring that would be great. Thank you!

I'm not great at prices, but here goes!

These prices are in CSC and for a shop just starting (so you have room to raise prices later). This is also the minimum I would consider charging. The lower end price could be for headshots, if you plan to offer those? Sketch: 500-1000 Lined: 1000-1500 Colored: 1500-2000 Extra Character: At least half BG: Depends on complexity (a simple solid color shouldn't cost as much as something with a lot of details, for example)

For CSC to sP, you can either go by the current market rate and constantly update it or do 100CSC = 10mil sP (I've also seen people up the sP amount anywhere from 12-15mil). Just depends on what works for you.

I hope this helped and best of luck with your shop! <3

I would agree with the prices suggested by LupusDarkmoon above. You drew my gorgeous tigers head for me recently and I would have been more than happy to pay around 500-750 CSC for it.

I think you should not undersell yourself and consider the amount of time you spend on various pieces. Set yourself (at least an idea of) an hourly rate (say $10-15) and then work out how long each style takes.

I been gone for a while on hiatus. I updated my examples and would love some new input :D

Your art is beautiful. Pricing is so personal, subjective, and situational.

I would still mostly agree with what Lupus said above with a few minor changes. I don't sell art, but I do buy art. My opinion is based on what I've seen and what I would consider to be a price I'd think is fair as a consumer.

Most artist break down pricing by the service being provided. I could see a non colored headshot going for lets say around $5. From there it goes up to bust, full body, quad, etc. I probably wouldn't charge more than let's say around $15 for a full body sketch. These again are rough sketches that are not lined. I do think that you would do very well in the sketch and lined market, plus these tend to be the quickest turn arounds for most artists.

As far as color, many artist even break it down further to your style. Flat shading is obviously the lowest price, followed by cell shading, followed by what appears to be what I've heard to be described as a "painterly" style which looks like something you have some experience with.

Many artist I see specialize in quads (animals), chibis, anthro, or humanoids. I don't see a ton of artist that overlap.

In my experience, humanoids and anthro tend to run similarly in price (typically higher than chibis or quads). I don't have a ton of experience in the anthro market but I will say that I think your art would particularly shine in that market based on your examples. I think that this would likely yield you the highest revenue starting out, It's rare that I see an artist offer full body in the humanoid/anthro market and when they do it's usually pricier. It doesn't surprise me to see a colored full body charged for like $60 or more. I could see something like your black demon with the purple hair going for that or even more. However, I'm not sure how much of a market there is in full body art right now. For something like the woman in red with the background, I wouldn't charge any less than $35 and I could definitely see how something of this style could go for much more.

As far as quads, this is typically animal style art made usually to a larger scale that is able to be resized appropriately for pet overlays. As a consumer, it's rare that I would consider buying a quad for more than let's say $30. I would probably say starting off in quad, I would think $10, maybe $15 might be fair until you build up more examples of what's to be expected. As a consumer, I see primarily feline examples and many of the examples have different shading. It's hard for me to know what I could expect as a consumer. If I wanted to commission, let's say a dog from you, than I would have no idea what to expect. For me there is nothing worse than buying art and just not liking the end result.

As far as chibi, it truly depends on your style. I will say that cell shading seems to be extremely popular in the chibi community. I have seen chibi style usually go for the lowest price in general. Don't get me wrong, I've seen some really good cell shading artist that can turn out chibi's somewhere between $20-$50. However, most artists would probably sell chibi's anywhere from $5-$25 depending on the style they are offering.

I truly wish you luck with whatever you decide to do, Do what feels right for yourself and your time spent and be as specific as possible about your preferences upfront. If you don't feel comfortable in certain markets, list it upfront.
