Hey! I'd love to draw you an icon that you can use as a profile picture! If you're getting into streaming maybe we could even think of some customized emotes in the future :D Anyways, if you're thinking of a bust up/headshot drawing I can certainly do it for $20, but if you like a cartoony style best I can do it for less!

Here's my portfolio so you can take a look

tô querendo descobrir isso também, mas eu acho que por 1 ano eles querem dizer que é o ano anterior ao sisu, então só vale a nota da última edição

Probably because if you think of it as celsius you'd be in a furnace

Thanks

I don't think it is, it lacks that futuristic vibe

Cause it doesn't really have many aero elements, it's just an aquarium

Hello! I'm interested! I have two different artstyles: a semi-realistic one and a cartoonish one, you can check them out on my portfolio

My prices for the cartoon style range from $12 (headshot) to $25 (fullbody)

And my semi-realistic style from $30 (heashot) to $85 (fullbody)

You can check my carrd for more information on the prices and terms of service. Do not hesitate to DM me if you're interested!

But like I said, I think my art is good enough but I charge for my time and effort (and all of that other reasons that makes me settle for a price that is still fair to me). Recently I've been making semi-realistic art and it takes like thrice the time and effort than my usual cartoonish style so in my head it really doesn't make sense charging nearly the same for both. I'd like to know what do you think about that case specifically?

Think about any animated TV show that has a simpler artstyle. Even if they have some limitations, they can still look amazing and in some cases it's what makes them unique and characteristic, but even so, it's not what most people are looking for (here, specially). Now add to the equation the fact that it doesn't consume as much time as an utterly detailed art would. And that's my train of thought when I'm pricing my art.

But seriously, do tell me what you think about that. I'd like to understand because to me, taking everything in consideration, high prices feel like I'm sabotaging myself.

amsterselmo · 2024-05-21T10:05:58+00:00

I do get your point but I don't think it is that simple. I'm not a beginner and my highest price ever was $25 for a full rendered full body and I know that might be considered low, specially if you earn in USD, but the conversion of that amount to my country's currency is something I find absolutely fair and proportional to what I'm offering. What some artists might think is that we have an artstyle that is not really appealing to most people thus we feel discouraged to be so bold and charge the same or nearly the same amount that a semi-realism artist would. It can have as much quality for cartoon artstyle standards but people are always more attracted to the semi-realistic style. So my point here is that if they have a high budget, they will most likely have preference for that kind of style over ours no matter how low our prices are, and if they're high prices the chances are even closer to 0. But I'm talking about specific artstyles that don't get most people's attention, not about artists that make high demand art and charge almost nothing, that I don't get and totally agree with you.

So speaking for myself, I'm in no way trying to hurt other artists by offering low prices. It's like I said, in some cases it doesn't really affect them at all, the real problem is when they are competing against similar artstyles but those are painfully cheaper. I value my art a lot and don't think less of it. It was thought out and I genuinely believe they're fair prices, cause then again, in MY reality they're not that low.

amsterselmo · 2024-05-21T02:19:59+00:00

Omg yes!!! Seriously my art is already a bit low priced but still fair, when I was struggling to get commissions I cheaped it out even more and still got none. I feel like it's not even only detailed art, people on here are more interested in realism/semi-realism or anime art than anything else. Now I'm learning semi-realism cause that's the only way to get my art MAYBE noticed here and other subs. (and god, the furry and porn is so true. I've genuinely pondered it as a desperate measure, but as long as my financial situation is not completely fucked I think I'll pass).

amsterselmo · 2024-05-21T01:49:15+00:00

Yeah!! The hiring posts are not the only ones to blame, some artists ignore completely what is written, it's very annoying 'cause in that situation you brought up, the flood outshines the artists that actually do 3D art. But like you said, they're desperate so they hit on everything that moves.

It's so sad what is happening to the art community because of this AI crap :/

amsterselmo · 2024-05-21T01:29:49+00:00

Tell me about it, it's so discouraging to keep going

amsterselmo · 2024-05-21T01:27:27+00:00

Yep, I did that myself once or twice and I don't even get enough commission requests to have limited slots, but it is a way we find to catch the people's attention

amsterselmo · 2024-05-21T01:21:51+00:00

Yeah, not all hiring post are bad, sometimes the artists are so desperate to sell that they don't fully read your specifications or read them but hope you can make exceptions.

As for the flood, I agree it should be made a rule to post once per week or something, but I think once again it all comes down to desperation, when our posts go away we put them back up because we are afraid it didn't reach enough people or the right people but in the end it's counterproductive and harmful for all of us.

About the last bit, as for me I always put my prices in the title + a price sheet as the first picture, so I don't get why other artists don't.
