Why would you want to know what someone "would" pay when they do not have any money instead of actually finding out what someone with money will pay out in the field? Stop larping.

[Anonymous No.5048379]

Alright heres my price check for you.
Do not price anything below 50 USD.
That is the minimum for anything at all.
If you don't think you're up to it than you're not ready for commissions.
Anything rendered should be 100+ USD.
I don't care what Sergei and Pablo are doing.
If you live in the US, I better not catch you charging less than 50 or the belt is coming off.

[Anonymous No.5048386]

Then get better at art.
You intend to get good eventually anyway, right?
Underselling your work will make it extremely difficult for you to get decent wages further on down the road when you do become more skilled.
Underselling communicates to the world that your art is worth LESS than the average artist's work.
When you undercharge you are telling people that you have no confidence in your abilities and they shouldn't either.

What I'd be willing to pay for the artwork. Customer is always right. There's plenty of artists I wouldn't even consider commissioning because it's either digital art or not to my tastes.

I also base what I'd pay for art on how much I think I could sell it for in the future, I see art as investments, again why I wouldn't buy digital art. There's no money to be made from it for me later if it's a jpeg

Answer my question, Wacom schizo from /dtg/. If Dimitri from Vladivostok charges $50 for a full commission and Johnny from Massachusetts, with the same skill level, wants $150 for the same quality, who do you think is going to receive the consumer's cash?

Let me answer your question with another question: If Dimitri charges $50 and Wang charges $5, who is going to receive the consumer's cash?
And why stop there? Say Busarakham charges $0.50? Who gets paid now?
Oh but wait, here comes Tafadzwa! Tafadzwa can do the job for just $0.05 USD! What a great deal!
But Tafadzwa hasn't met his match yet, because here comes insecure college student Charlie! Charlie is willing to do the work for free because he just hopes he can get his name out there and he's thrilled for the opportunity! Fuck Tafadzwa, fuck Busarakham, fuck Wang, and fuck Dimitri, because now we have our kindly slave, Charlie.

Not him, but having some customers, not just artists, in this thread is beneficial. They get to hear from the perspective of the people who are going to buy, most of whom only care about themselves.
And the second you start selling your work, you're not only an artist, but a salesman. Instead of complaining, think about what you can do to set yourself apart from people like Dimitri and Wang so people give their money to you.

[Anonymous No.5051586]

>>5051426
>having some customers, not just artists, in this thread is beneficial
No the fuck it isn't. Customers will pay as little as they can to get a product or service, and most people have no idea what commission is worth to begin with, and would therefor have no useful insight on the topic of how much an artist could or should charge for their work.
You wouldn't ask a 60 year old housewife what she'd be willing to pay for a PSA graded LOB Blue-Eyes, and you wouldn't ask a 16 year old public school debate club member what he'd be willing to pay for a Lamborghini. Not every random person is a part of the market for a given product or service, which makes their input on the subject meaningless.

You need to take prices with a grain of salt though and ignore crabs and potential customers like the one a couple posts up who just want to squeeze you for what they can get, they don't see you as a human being at all and people like that are shitheads, you just have to learn to shift through them and not listen to them.

You can get the payment you deserve. You just have to work hard and have to demand that payment and respect yourself.

No, but the guy actively advocating undercutting and working for under minimum wage assuredly is. The issue is not that customers don't have valid input, the issue is that people that are not in the market for art commission do not have valid input as customers.
