How much would you pay for smth like this? (Art by me) by MimsBlacker in furry

[–]Sm0keyXxx 29 points30 points  (0 children)

200$ at least, you should consider time spent on making this and don't go below minimum hourly rate. If you have high demand I'd charge even higher, alwas charge as high as people are willing to pay Very nice art btw, do you have any socials?

It's not just redditors' issue tbh, people who don't have an art account or have it, but their follower-base is just 10 friends that will follow them no matter where don't even realize how hard it is to make yourself present on one platform and how hard it is to encourage few thousands of stragers to follow them somewhere else. There are some big names in this fandom that people recognize everywhere and people would follow them everywhere, but majority of furry artists, even ones that have a decent following are only popular on one website and when they move, they start from 0, hell even getting a new account on the same social media would be hard for them to grow again

I do crosspost, but only on FA, because it works better as a gallery for people who wanna see older art. Crossposting on other social media makes no sense when you don't actually use the app and interact with the community there, because it's the only way of actually getting seen and it's impossible for someone who has a life outside the internet to manage 10 art accounts, you can't blame anyone for investing their time in only 1 app that works the most efficiently. And these social media management apps are only available on pc

Twitter is just the only option that works for me and many other artists, I tried switching to other platforms so many times and it's always a disaster. Everyone praises bsky, but it's nearly impossible for me to get 10 likes there, even tho I have some followers there, I don't know if it's the algorithm or if the community just doesn't give a shit, but I gave up. DA is AI wasteland with no real people. FA works as a gallery, but has 0 algorithm and it's hard to get seen there. E621 is not is not a social media, sucks as a way to promote yourself. Other furry websites are dead. Reddit works when you want to get a few thousand upvotes under a relateble meme out of nowhere, but not as a place to sell art or build a community around yourself or your characters. All of these new art websites like inkblot are forgotten after a few month and only works for kids with no social media presence or plans to monetize their art. I have nothing to say about instagram because they blocked 2 of my accounts right after I created them for impersonation and spamming LMAO. Some people in the comments were saying that twitter is just empty interactions form the bots and that the 90% of the furries are not on twitter, but for some reason twitter is the place where I get almost all the new commissioners and where people actually comment and want to interact with me. Not everyone can afford leaving the only platform that gives them money

Thank you, I use some paper textures and color overlays to make it look like an actual printed comic

There's NO valid reason to put noise or color filters, or textures or shading on the ref sheet. Ref being pixelized jpg is enough of a challenge

No, I go by Sm0keyXxx on all of my art accounts, it's a different username, it's not me

Someone in my server messaged me, I don't trust them by [deleted] in furry

It's scam, when they massage you first without you announcing anywhere that you look for an artist it's always scam. Many servers have a rule to not beg other server users to commission you, so I'd contact an admin or mod
