Whats the point of selling digital art?
People hastle me to get off benifits and sell art but this is the prices people expect, plus basically nobody is interested in buying my art in the first place.
I get hella tired easily and would have a mental breakdown slaving away ar making less than enough money to pay by or rent or food. Look at these fucking prices in pic related… Im not working for 15$ every 2 fucking hours.

Most people charge more than that, relative to the detail.
Some artists actually enjoy drawing for others, and are willing to take less than it is worth if they enjoy the idea (this isn't good, but it happens).
Some do it simply as a side hobby.
Some are literal teenagers to whom $15 is a meaningful amount of money. That or thirdworlders where $15 a day is a meaningful wage.

i mean, no one is forcing you to lowball your rates. the thing about commission work is that you can literally price it at whatever you want. obvious prices would go up or down depending on the artist's skill level, experience, time, and their need for the money itself.

when i price my art, i make sure i'm being paid at least $20/hr for the time it would take to make the artwork

Charge more then. My comms are USD120 for 2-3 hours of work and I'm getting enough

The art in the picture is trash though. Maybe if you can do better you could charge for more.

Art is a skilled work though. If you are somewhat competent at it you should charge at least twice as much of the min wage.

I don't honestly see a huge value of digital art outside the graphic design and illustration realm. That being said I do believe digital fine artists can market themselves better. Better prints, displays etc. Some of the NFT niggers had low power OLED displays that were just used for a single digital art which to me seems like a good idea minus the NFT bullshit.
