$7000.00 for a single, shitty illustration for a t-shirt design.

I can't go into too many details, but I won a shirt competition for $2000.00 + a paid trip to some studio. They fucked up the trip planning & time frame of the trip, so that didn't work out. To remedy the situation, they said I could either postpone the trip a few months, or accept $5000.00 and not go. I chose the money.

There was nothing more at play here than dumb luck, as the shirt design was NOT worth all that money, let alone the intial $2K.

That said, I collaborated with someone on one project (they did initial sketches, little sculptures) and I did the final computer concept arts, and they ended up winning the competition they entered and got to make an entire series of life-size sculptures to put around a town centre. There were like 12 of these cast bronze dogs, and it was really cool.

Though all I did was the digital concept art based on her rough sketches, and made no money myself.

I've just drawn some fur-fag commishes, so about 200 dollars is the most. Was a 5 char. YCH auction and at the time I felt it was sooo much money, so I tossed in an extra 2 char. pic for the winner, even. Now I wouldn't do that, I've learned... but I don't do commishes anymore, too much of a hassle now that I have a steady full time job.
