About Commissions by aschenlux

I'm not sure if I should offer commissions here unless they're cheap/easy to do, at least until I figure out the budget range and how old the users are here. I'm so used to being on DA, since majority of the people that watch me have a decent income or are artists themselves ( so they get money from their own commissions ).

Oh man how I love DA's poll system, so much easier // hits it
BUT YEAH ANYWAYS...

If you dont mind filling this out, I'd really appreciate it: ( and if you dont feel comfy posting this in a comment, pm me )

  • How old are you?
  • What are you usually willing to spend for the following: o1. Chibis? o2. Regular Art? o3. Sketches/Sketch Pages?
  • Do you like participating in auctions?

Thanks a lot guys, for reading this! ' U ' And sorry bout my lack of activity, been in a very slow mood ;;;

    o2. Regular Art? usually 30-50?? i dont normally buy anything with backgrounds and obviously everything with more than one character id pay more
    o3. Sketches/Sketch Pages? im not really a fan of like, sketchy sketches but i like sketch pages a lot? the kind you just posted an auction for, probably 40-60, depending how many are on the page

    chibis: my max per a chibi is $10 but they better be stunning chibis LOL
    regular art: depends on what is being offered! for coupley stuff i will pay defs up to 60-80$ but for just one character i have a hard time justifying more than 30$ in most cases
    Sketchpages: I'm actually yet to buy a sketchpage so i guess that depends on how sketchy we are talking and if there are colors or not pfpft i'll agree with ali bby and say 20-50 for something on the nicer side

    oh dear god i hate auctions i really do especially for commissions, even more so when the artist has regular prices as well/ doesn't make it a bid ladder or anything uou

    Chibis: $5-$15(depends on size+details)
    Regular: $10-$30 (depends if it's colored/polished/size)
    I haven't seen people offer sketch pages yet but depending on the amount of sketches and if it's colored works then maybe $20-$40

    As for auctions- I prefer set prices more UvU

    What are you usually willing to spend for the following:
    o1. Chibis? Depends on the size and style, but up to $30 per chibi.
    o2. Regular Art? I have paid up to $250 on a fancy couples watercolor piece before (that was mailed to me after), but my ideal and usual range especially for digital art is more $20-80.
    o3. Sketches/Sketch Pages? I don't think I'd ever pay more than $100 for a sketch page.
    Do you like participating in auctions? I prefer not to for commissions. Actually I don't like auctions in general, they kind of make me nervous, but I particularly don't like commission auctions. I much prefer to pay a set price and be done with it.

    o1. Chibis - Probably maaaax $30 for an amazing piece but usually $10-$15 preference.
    o2. Regular Art - Maybe max $50 if I really love the art though I usually look for prices between $20-$30. I can't really afford much more than that but if I saw something I just had to have I would try to make the funds for it. But I'm pretty sure I would never go over $100 and even that's stretching it. I love art but I my income goes mainly towards bills and sadly art doesn't help with that.
    o3. Sketches/Sketch Pages - This one is difficult because I'm both a big fan of them and not a big fan of them at the same time. I love sketches but I don't really like buying them? It depends entirely on the detail and what is offered in the sketch. Probably not more than $15/$20 unless there was a lot going on or colour involved or something else. I honestly depends entirely on the product being offered.
    Do you like participating in auctions? Not really at all. I can't afford a lot so I prefer thinking I have a chance at getting something if I have the timing right than feeling like I can never get it because people have more disposable income than me. But I understand them and I don't feel resentful towards them? I think a mix of auction and base price is best = w=b

    lol I think I sound like a cheapskate Q nQ;

    • Link

      You dont sound like a cheapskate at all ;; H ;; So dont worry <33 Thanks so much for taking the time to answer my questions!

      • Link

        Sob! You're welcome!! If I had more money my answers would be different because amazing artists like yourself deserve so much for all the hard work you put into commissions!!

    What are you usually willing to spend for the following: o1. Chibis? Depends on what's considered a chibi. I'd agree that my max range is about 8-10$, with $5 being the average.
    o2. Regular Art? The most I've paid for a single picture is $40, and that's a two-character traditionally done full colour piece. Howver, the max I've paid for one character is $30, and I was fine with that price, so...
    o3. Sketches/Sketch Pages? I've only ever gotten one, and it was tiny and about $8 I think? Howver, I'd probably pay around 20-25$ for yours, because they're gorgeous.
    Do you like participating in auctions?
    I don't mind them too much, howver I'm not really a fan of them. I find that I'm generally outbid by ludicrous ammounts though, so that's really soured my opinion on them.

    Maximum of 30 per character, but I usually look for cute, cheap and simple chibis because I like giving them as gifts.
    o2. Regular Art?

    Do you like participating in auctions?

    • Link

      UGH THIS THING SENT FOR SOME REASON???

      LET ME FINISH THIS

      o2. Regular Art?
      It really depends, but I'd say up to 60 for one character, if I have the funds.

      o3. Sketches/Sketch Pages?
      Not super fond of them, but I'd get one for 20 or less

      Do you like participating in auctions?
      When I have a decent amount of funds, yeah!!

    Age: 23

    Preferred Commissions: Anything. It depends on what I'm in the mood for. Sometimes I'm a chibi spaz, and others I want regular art. Lately I've found an addiction to pixel dolls, so it really is just whatever mood that takes me.

    Auctions?: No. I don't mind them for finished adopts, but it just doesn't sit well with me for regular commissions. Usually if it's an artist I really like, the price goes astronomically high so I can't get one.

  • Link

    Omg, you can tell I'm brain dead because I totally answered wrong on the Commissions question. Lemme fix that.

    On Chibis, I'll spend up to $25 if they're well done; I'm a little pickier on these. I don't commission them nearly as often.

    For regular half-bodies full-color, I don't mind spending $35-45, and full-bodies $50-60. I'm trying to get my head out of the dA mindset where everyone under-charges for their art. I recently ordered the Artist's Guild handbook, and these prices still aren't near what I should be paying wonderful artists, but they're what I can honestly afford on a usual basis.

      Thanks a lot for your feedback, and I feel the same way when I commission other artists ;; v ;;
      Cant be helped tho, but artists that can accept payment plans are really sweet <33

    • What are you usually willing to spend for the following: o1. Chibis ( $5- $10 ) o2. Regular Art ($15-$25 ) - will pay for extra characters whatever price the artist adds o3. Sketches/Sketch Pages ( $18- 50) I think theyre so cool, but only if they have a bit of color ~
    • Do you like participating in auctions? NOOO. (/shutters) but, this is my fault ... I dont understand them fully

    My prices are so low because I'm poor/ have no job/ at that age i cant mooch anymore ;w;
