Hello, everyone!

As you may have seen on my Twitter, I have run into an issue where I am working A LOT and not making ends meet. I did a lot of math, averaging, timing myself, more math, comparing my prices to other artists' of similar style/quality, MORE MATH... and uh... more math. It's a good thing I love math...

Anyway, I figured out the best pricing that suited me and my weekly goal to make around as much as I did when I had my old job... WITHOUT killing myself and having to overlap work time into family/me time. n_n

All I have figured out so far is full body sketches. I would kind of estimate for waist ups/head shots, but since I draw both of those a lot more close up than full body shots, it's kind of hard without timing myself... That includes everything else, I am about to list as well.

So, I have only gotten the prices that I prefer for Full Body Sketches, including: Lines ($25), Flat-colored ($40), and Simply Shaded with Texture ($60). I will be adding those to my Commission Info tab here in a bit! First, I wanted to list off the rest of what I am planning on figuring up prices and having visual examples for:

Sketches:

• Head Shot Sketches - Lined, Flat-colored, and Simply Shaded
• Waist Up Sketches - Lined, Flat-colored, and Simply Shaded

Inked and Fully-colored Illustrations:
(These would be inked, colored, then fully shaded. Can include background!)

• Head Shot
• Waist Up
• Full Body

Icons:

• Head Shot (These would be inked, colored, and simply shaded at 500x500 pixels then resized down to desired size.)
• Pixel Head Shot (Drawn at small icon size.)
• Pixel Full Body (Drawn at small icon size.)

Badges:
(These would be inked, colored, then simply shaded with fancy pants name art added. :D)

• Head Shot
• Waist Up
• Full Body

Reference Sheets:
(These would be inked and flat-colored with added textual information, if desired.)

• Front View
• + Back View
• + Side View
• + Expression
• + Accessory
• + Anything else will be priced accordingly

Digital Paintings:

• Head Shot Speed Painting
• Waist Up Speed Painting
• Full Body Speed Painting
• Head Shot Rendered Painting
• Waist Up Rendered Painting
• Full Body Rendered Painting

These are all base prices, not including backgrounds, props, extra appendages (such as extra limbs, wings, etc...), extra characters, etc... If anything is to be added to the base price, the amount of extra time the commission takes will be added to the base price.

How I will do this is before I begin the commission, I will ask that you pay the base price. Once I have started your commission, I will time myself. At the end of the commission, I will calculate how much extra time I put into the commission to find how much extra is owed.

I have figured up that $30 per hour works for me, so, for example, if someone commissions a commission of a dragon flying through a village holding a princess in one talon, in a rendered painting style, I would ask that the client pay the base price for the Full Body Rendered Painting price. Once the commission is done, I will ask for the remanding owed money for the time that it took to paint the wings, background, and princess.

(Also, I know that $30 sounds like A LOT, but I work VERY fast, so a lot of quality goes into that hour! I promise! <3)

I think that's all for now, guys!

I am also thinking about doing comics as well! A friend of mine is wanting to commission me to do some comics for him, so maybe that will get started soon! :D I'm excite!

Thanks so much for reading, and I hope you have a wonderful day!!!
