so what, if the white devil is dumb enough to pay a hundred for something then it's worth a hundred. That's like the first law of economics. Did you never sell any powdered milk to tourists pretending it's cocaine or what.

If you're getting more than five orders a week every week you should probably adjust your prices anyway, your customer base is definitely solid enough to afford losing the cheapest poorfags

You can probably bump up your prices - unless you're not confident in your work and feel you're only being hired because you're cheap.
No need to go all the way, but take a look at others who you feel you match in skill, what they're charging, and move your prices closer to theirs. Why work twice as hard as others when you could possibly just charge twice as much?

Anyway, congrats; good job anon.

>>6272451
Posting someone's commissioned work here would be a faux pas.

[Anonymous No.6272883]

If you're gonna be charging $18 a commission and don't wanna charge more then you should put in that much quality, that's slightly above minimum wage in leafland meaning you should put in maybe an hour into every commission and just shit out more of them
If you do say 3-4 commissions a day (8 hour work day accounting for time spent actually negotiating with the clients), you get 15-20 commissions a week and double+ your earnings

80$ to 100$ or so seem pretty reasonable for art. If you want to charge more than that maybe with full rights for commercial usage or some really intricate work, or if you have 50K followers that you would have enough clientely to pay so you could ask for more.

You have the base prices that would peak at 120$ if you really skilled but you can multiply that depending of how many followers you have, is how I would do it.

>just charge more, bro
If I do commissions, not a single soul shows interest.
On the off-chance I get them, people look at the finished product and say I am undercharging.

Which one is it?
How about (You) start commissioning all these poor artists for the price they deserve, since you care so much about fairness?
Consider it... investing in a greater cause.

No? Not buying any?
Then stop posting. Go get a 9-5 job if you like unionizing so much.

Unironically, git gud. I got my first comm without even advertising for it. If you're getting empty praise with no money behind it, reevaluate your art or your cheapskate circle of followers.

It's common sense to increase prices according to demand, and people willing to pay for the product will buy regardless, thus """"footing the bill""".
But I guess you wouldn't know that if you're so insecure about not getting comms in the first place.

This is a dumb fucking thing to say Anon, and you probably know it. If you do good work, have a bit of social media following for it, you can probably charge a bit more than what you're doing now. If >>6272931 is you, you should be charging higher than what everyone is estimating here.
Sure you don't have to match first worlders, but the great thing about a job like this is that YOU CAN if you want to. Nobodies hiring you because of your country, they'll hire your for two reason, your products quality and your prices - and the first can very much dictate the latter.

It's fine if you want to stick to your current prices, but don't you ever want to have a raise? To have even more money? To work less for the same amount?
At the end of the day, this is all advice for your sake that you're throwing aside rather poorly.
>You should make more money
>What... Nooo! Why don't YOU give me your money!? No? Then Shut up!

[Anonymous No.6273610]

>>6273605
Ah, you're talking about skeb. I actually hate that site - it doesn't allow anyone from other countries to use it, outside of commissioning the japanese artists.

Any other site like that would be called bigoted, but since it's japan and anime artists, the blood has left every weeb's head and gone to their cocks, so they can't think straight.
Fuck Skeb.

[Anonymous No.6273621]

>>6273610
Yep, that's the one. I wonder if there's interest for an international site for this sort of thing. But then again without the japanese appeal it'll probably turn into a worse fiverr.

[Anonymous No.6273655]

>>6273621
I actually think there'd be plenty, the gimmick of hooking up your social media, and people essentially hiring you because of that, puts it into a different lane than a site like fiverr - since you're hiring an artist because it's that artist, rather than to look for the cheapest person or most professional etc.

Not to mention on the artist's side, the one contact commission, with no revisions etc. would be extremely appealing. I think it'd do quite well.

If someone makes it, I just hope they block the Japs from joining as an artist... though they should be allowed to pay for commissions haha.
