I asked for some pricing help and got some responses <3

Examples of Art: viewtopic.php?f=21&t=1623299#p49265002
What are you charging now?: I used to charge 20-25C$ per colour in, or a wishlist 09 rare for two. I was given 50C$ for two simple customs, I added fur textured shading.
What do you estimate the worth of your work is?: I'm not sure, I usually do art trades but for people that want to pay pets, I only like VRs so I can use them to buy art. I'm ok with not getting many orders because I always have tons of artwork to do, but I don't want the art to be too expensive that it's not really worth it.

Gah your style is so cute ;w; I'm not great at pricing either, but this is what I would charge:
How many lineart colour ins should I offer for a 2012/13 store pet? I would say 1 or 2, 3 at the absolute most (like for super simple designs). If you're offering custom lineart edits, then you could charge 1 colour in + 2 edits or something :3
How many standard (flat colour) customs should I offer for a 2010 VR? For a store pet, I would probably only offer 1 or 2, 3 at most (if the design is simple), but if it's a wishlist pet or something, then maybe around 2 - 5? I guess it depends on how much you want the pet, and how complicated the character designs are. I would definitely not draw 4 characters with a bajillion accessories for a 2010 VR.
How many standard (flat colour) customs should I offer for a mid Advent? Hmm...at least 3, but no more than 7 (wow okay that seems like a lot :\)
How many shaded (fur textured) customs should I offer for a mid Advent? I really like your fur textured customs :3 I'd say 1 - 4, depending on the difficulty of the design and species.

Since you're okay with not getting that many orders, I think you'd be fine if you stuck to the prices you currently have, or if your prices are a little bit "expensive" :3 I rarely have time to take orders for my art shop, and even when I'm open I still don't have that much time either, so I increase my prices a tiny bit just so I can have a manageable workload.
You may want to get a second opinion on this, I'm starting to doubt this myself ._.

solloby i think your prices are fine i usually dont want to work for VR's either, and i think how diamondpals priced some things would also help you a lot, since i agree with her too!

Before I work on some tentative prices to post, I do have a question:

Code: Select all

[b]Would you prefer a Point System to be in place, or for the art to have set prices with bulk options available?[/b]

Hi Solloby,

I was wondering how much you'd charge for a Big cat Lineart colouring of my Fursona: XxX
I have 18C$ left if your interested.

[spooky;]

Bad Moonlight:
Was it just the colours that had to be natural or the markings as well?
Do you have any colour scheme(s) in mind?
How simple/complex did you want the markings (and did you have any in mind? Spots, stripes?)
Did you want shading as well, textured fur shading perhaps?
Did you want the background transparent? It will probably remove some of the lighter details on the lines, but if you don't like it I can always switch the white background back on to preserve it, or show you both versions at the end.

Which pet group(s) are the VRs in that you have available? I like 08 & 09 dogs, 2011 store dogs, 2012 fairy store dogs, lions and Malk dragons, if you have any of those types of pets to offer. Sorry if I am being picky ^.^;

Nothing really in mind. I would like some shading. But all natural colors yes. Simple markings are fine. And whatever background you think will work best will be fine.
I can offer a mustard heart huskey advent if that is ok with you?

Elfie - I usually sell colour ins for 20-25C$ without edits, depending on complexity.

Bad Moonlight - That would be fine ^.^
I'll see if I can do some nice shading that matches the lines.
Is a predominantly brown colour scheme ok? Maybe with white spots, like a deer.
Otherwise I could try an okapi-inspired colour scheme. I'll see what I can do c:

A deer sounds cute!
I can't wait to see what you come up with. c:

^ Awesome, I'll try to start it later this week if I can, because this weekend I will be working on a 12 pc art sheet from my auction. If you can send the trade whenever, that'd be neat.

Hmm, would you consider a mixed payment? I was hopping for edits as well.

[Solloby]

I'm afraid I can't accept any new orders at the moment, as my 12 pc custom art sheet auction is going a little too well and I am considering accepting 2 winners for it, which means 24 pieces of shaded art in total O.o;

Then I'll have to work on Easter stuff.
