PLEASE READ. I need feedback by Killerwolf1020

So I want some feedback on my art.

For commissions I offer

$40.00 for a single character shaded and colored full body shot. This is cell shaded with sometimes highlights. There is a full background and the full picture will end out like one of these:

Backgrounds can be simple like these If people want or don’t like what I did with the complexity.

To add another character is $10

Do you think my prices are unreasonable?

I have thought about how long it takes me to do one of the pictures mentioned above.

It takes about 6 hours. The sketching and drawing takes about one hour, inking takes about half to 1 hour. I then touch up and re-ink the picture on Photoshop and that can take another hour. Then the rest is coloring and shading (shading taking the longest)

With a hourly rate of 7.50/hr (where I see others charging anywhere from $10 up) I would have the price to $45

Tell me honestly. But keep in mind if you say that MY art is not worth that much I will be very offended. I spend hours on my work and I am proud of it. Probably the only thing I am really proud of other than my relationship with my boyfriend.

I know some people have preferences on how they spend their money, so if you are a cheap person always looking for deals or freebies please keep your comments to yourself.

    I try to keep my prices in line with what other artists charge for a similar quality to mine.

    Pricing is always difficult.

    I have to agree, pricing is pretty difficult...

    You should only charge what you feel is right for your art, taking into account not only the quality of your work, but the work you put into it too; you shouldn't slave over a piece for hours to be paid peanuts. Your art is good, so I can see people paying $40 for it, its nice and detailed, and very expressive. x3

    Somewhat related video, says what I'm trying to say better than I ever will.

    Long story short, there are always going to be people that feel that your art is "overpriced" (Personally, I'm one of the "bargain basement" commissioners that'll buy art at insanely low prices only, so I guess I'm part of the problem, but I can't see myself spending over $20 on a piece of art, but I'm alright with the lower quality as a result), but that doesn't mean you should lower prices just to cater to that crowd, you'll only end up cheating yourself.
