As someone constantly looking for more pet slots, I thought I could try and see if my art is eligible for selling.

I can only work with pixels, thick or thin lines, but I love to draw all sorts of things, especially beasts and beautiful creatures. I have some examples of art I made on another pet site, random sizes:

Some subeta examples: Can someone help, I mean, should I go for it? For how much would it sell? I was thinking of going for sP only. Not sure if they'd go for CSC?

It depends! Pixel art takes a good amount of time. I'm not the best pixel artist, but I love to do it as well, and I know a little bit about selling it.

If I were you, I would figure out first about how much detail you are looking to put into your work. This can help greatly when figuring out how much to sell for. Take into account how big your sprites will be, how many colors you will use, how much detail, and how much of the subject you will put into it (anatomy wise).

Then, I would price by going down a checklist. Lined or Painted type pixel art? How many colors? Shaded or flat? Full bodied, half, or head shot? Background? Simple or complex?

For simpler, smaller things with less detail I would go with around 1-10 mil SP. For medium and larger type things, also simpler with purposefully less detail, I would go with anywhere between 15-50 mil SP.

Now, when you get into details, this includes complex pixel shading like with detailed fur or feathers, water, etc., Complex shading with pixelling takes a lot of time and effort, and is usually done on bigger canvases, so don't be afraid to name your price and stay firm.

For something up there, I would pay anything between 50mil-200mil SP. You have good form, and decent shapes and great color use.

Now, let's take the graveyard pet you have up there as an example. If you were to draw out the entire body, and further shade and detail the fur, the shadows, the highlights, markings, etc. in a very deep manner like many professional pixel artists do (I can see it in my head and I believe you could do it with practice) then you would start getting into the real life money. If you practice that and hone your skills further, you could easily make anywhere from $15-40 a piece depending on size and final complexity. (USD$$)

It really depends. There are still people out there who very much appreciate good pixel art, simple OR complex. Get your name out there and hone your skills all at the same time by heading over to the Free Art section of the Art Market and starting a thread! You would be surprised how many people lurk there, and would really appreciate you and your artwork. That is the best way to build a clientele... draw something for them that they love so much that they must come back for more. Your art is very inspiring :)

Now, I wanted to give you a little example. Go on google and type in "pixel artwork" and find something random with a background, or a lot of detail. If you were to stumble upon a client looking for something detailed, even half as detailed as the most detailed pixel artwork out there, you should definitely make yourself a checklist that prices out every aspect of the work. I don't want to give you any exact figures, but I will tell you to remember that when you really start selling your work, don't be afraid to start yourself off at a certain figure per hour. And increase as you expand your craft. That can be your own personal minimum that you are willing to put your time and effort into. Good luck! ^_^

Thank you so much for the time to look into this and your advice! It helps me a lot to sort things out. ^___^
