Free market is only a good thing if its local.

free market in the usa we follow the US average pricing = art comms average around $15 to $20 per hour, roughly $300 to $700 per full color
free market on the global scale we follow the 3rd world shithole average pricing = $2 to $6 an hour, roughly $30 to $60 per full color

$400 a month in Venezuela is the average income of a surgeon there btw.

Most people talking shit wouldn't buy your art if it was free anyway, they just see you make a week's worth of their wages in two days and get assmad about it.

I get the same at my day job, I make about 15% more than some people because of some certification and everytime we meet they always say something like
>Yeah but any retard could do it
>That's not a real job anyway faggot, you wouldn't last five minutes doing actual work the way we do

It's hilarious though, they're such bitter wage cuck slaves loathing their own lives that they froth at the mouth when confronted with the success creatives and entertainers have. Especially faced with the fact that someone can love their job and make a living doing what they enjoy. Keep in mind though the average person is just a hole that exists to consume from one end and then shit out the other like a sea cucumber. These modern day peasants have their uses though, they're good to keep the system and economy running until automation replaces most manual toil. It'll be even funnier when poverty and the eventual nihilistic dread of obsolescence will hit these netflix cockroaches like a freight train and they won't be able to support their living for the weekend habits. At least it should reshuffle society somewhat and incentivise more people to do something more constructive instead of stacking boxes or driving around all day. No other way to achieve ubersmench.

This is very common. I remember working as a janitor and one janny was making 20% more than the others because he sat in on meetings with the clients and did basic customer service.

I still dont understand why some people here treat art, which is essentially a trade job, like a wage job.
You guys ever worked a trade job before? You just dont sit on your ass doing the absolute bare minimum solely to fulfill a time quota and say "durr I'll continue tomorrow". No, you're requested for a job and you do nothing but the damn job no matter how long it takes, even if it means you're finishing a 300$ job in 2 hours or a 50$ job in 12 hours.

At the very least when I've talked about it on other platforms, in open "what do you do and how can I do it" room questions, people often comment and flatly say that I don't deserve what I'm making for what I'm doing. But I guarantee if you ask them "do you enjoy the fact that there are a great many hospitals in the USA that aren't currently being held hostage by scamming ransomware attacks from Russians and Norks, and then being rendered inoperable even after paying because fuck them?" they would say yes absolutely that's amazing, let's keep shit running smoothly, but will still tell keyboard jockeys to go fuck themselves.

You're an idiot, pricing doesn't work that way. If no one is willing to pay above a price that's the max price. You can make an autistic piece of art with so much detail that it took you weeks to make but that doesn't matter to the one buying it, if you charge 10,000 for very detailed portraits you are not going to sell because no one is willing to pay thousands for a portrait. And the people that do get high prices they do so on brand not work put in, the brand is what they are charging for.
So just charge what people are willing to pay for until you get enough clout, by building it up not just magically by the way, to justify selling your name too into the price tag.

Just stop. You're NGMI. No one will pay you shit just because you live in 1st world country and want $420 per hour. Drop drawing. You want to learn how to code not how to draw. Coding is for you.

With such mindset it's better to work in McDonald's or in concept art. You will be mentally on the level of typical burger flipper. Such artists are nothing new and they burn like a Icarus. Every day on twiiter you can find their meltdowns and abandoned accounts even with good yet soulless polished art.

Worst outcome of this situation is the potential global boycott of 1st worlders giving income to artists from poor and starving nations to ensure the artists in 1st world countries are protected and preserving their evolution (1st world artists are more likely to generate their own unique style if paid properly instead of the current state where we keep rehashing the anime style which what 3rd worlders keep doing.)

To simplify, buy local instead of supporting some undercutting shitdoodler from starving countries like poland, brazil, mexico, timor leste etc where $400 is the average high income for the people there.

No third world artist charges so little because 'muh people need me', asshat, people undercharge because they dont know about international pricing caused by the abysmal accessibility differences of the dollar currency, therefore they dont know how their art is supposed to be worth and weight their prices down as a result.

This is not how it works. Art exist in circles thanks to internet. You don't know about existence of other millions artists because they're outside you. People pay you because they want art made by your. This is the same how AI shills fail to understand why AI can't kill commissions no matter of artist level. The relationship between artist and client is not just "I want any art cheap". You can always buy something cheap after all. Food, phones, cars, tech. But if you have money you still buy expensive shit even though cheap alternatives exist in bigger quantity and some have quality better than expensive ones. The client want your brand and your art. Neither he want AI shit because AI is like a sand - free. That's it. If you're not shitposter you have no reason to worry about 3rd world shitters and their prices.

His art isnt even that good to begin with, just your run-of-the-mil anime trash coom artist. In spite of this, he REALLY likes to jerk himself off... and if you ask people on the /v/ drawthread, they may know the guy.

>6769761
This >>6769777 >>6769784, more often than not, commissions come from people that want something from you specifically, more than just wanting a draw, they want you to make the draw, this is essentially why I stress really hard about compelling art styles, because that is what attracts good commission clients most of the time.
Also the whole "prices will lower" is a slippery slope, we have literally 2 decades of the same thing happening and it hasnt changed a bit.

The problem with begs like op overcharging is that they force more skilled artists (but not as big as the 4K per pic faggots) to up their prices to the point where, let's stop being delusional for a second, it's very hard to find people to buy regularly. And that's what make clients end up going to the under chargers who fuck the market even more.

We're just doomed, wanna do art? Do it for passion, there's no money here.

This. The problem isn't that third worlders are devaluing art, its that nobody gives a shit about your art.

The way I see it there's two approaches. You can make the broadest appeal art (IE anime girl pinups) and market towards the lowest denominator of art buyers. People who, in general, are just looking for the cheapest price. You have to compete with third world prices, a super oversaturated market, low customer retention, and now AI.

Or you can work on creating a demand for your art. Be unique, be interesting, target a niche and don't be an asshole. Its not about having a large following its about having a following of people who actually care, and are willing to pay extra for art because its from you. These artists can eventually segway into stuff like Patreon.

The pill that this board can't swallow is that in order for this to work you actually need to make art worth caring about. It seems like most of you bought into the "draw the most popular thing" meme and are suffering from the consequences.

I do want to bring to the attention that everyone who is against rising prices;

It is obvious that those who are against it, do not draw are can be safely assumed to be straight up coomers.
The other argument i read
>but this guy sucks
It don't matter.
Any artists should be free to charge how much they want and the coomer audience has no interest in actually supporting artists. They just want to consume, hence they have to divide and stir up the pot.

Unpopular opinion but this race to zero strategy is usually done by chinks and turd worlders because they dont care about protecting value or sustainability, and only care about getting as much as gross profit. Funnily enough even some chinks started to realize that it's better to make more margin from lesser customers, which is why for phone brands they have the luxury segment brands (like OnePlus), and then they have the commoner's brand like Redmi.

Also even as a turd worlder, I dont think race to zero strategy is sustainable. You eill get burned out and wondered why the fuck didnt you just charge higher in the first place.

Well, duh!
There is a bottom line where it's now too expensive, and too difficult to justify the price.

Nevertheless, that's the bottom allright

$30 is the price set by art sites because that's as low as they are willing to do paper works with the banks.
Anymore and it's too low to justify the banking fees

It's mostly because they're just learning how to draw and underage or young tho. Also when you have low price art you attract the dregs of humanity and kids so be prepare for scams. When you go $100+ they will start disappearing. But in general there is no reason to not sell comms if you're learning how to draw. You get money, you get morale boost, you feel progress, you learn working discipline, you get exp. And people love to see from 0 to master no talent meme live.

There're always middle grounds, anon, you can charge a reasonable amount of money that, while it wont be enough for a living on it's own, will help you greatly if you hold it as a secondary income and push it enough to make it consistent, or even make it a primary income if you really put your head into it professionally.
And like I said earlier, an appealing style calls for commissioners who will seek your art for what it is, rather for how much it's priced, even if it's too much, or too little, or someone does something better for a lower price, they wont leave you because your art can only be done by you. Some people just want to consoom, but that's not for everyone, and those people wont come back to you anyway, so who cares about them? focus on the ones that will hold onto your art. I know about this, because my regulars come back to me for my art, and some even dare to tell me to increase my prices because my art, as beg as it is, it's worth it for them, apparently.

But it makes sense, he seems to have some sort of innate attraction to be a humongous attentionwhore, so I guess that's useful and he's also extremely desperate for clout and approval it seems (and money).

He sounds pretty poor though considering the way he talks about money it's very clear that he doesn't have a lot of money but so is the artist lifestyle a little bit, it's kind of part of the deal.

That Karu mentally disabled super bitch is known to be a big attention whore and a enormous retard on many levels
-Refuse to help people
-Easily bullied to help others when someone called him out for it
-defends your 3rd world shithole kind charging $2 an hour working on comms because he enjoys being poor and retarded
-after this thread he'll be like the retard he is, flip flops and raise his prices in an attempt to not look pathetic and being made fun of for being poor and retarded

Oh, I see what this thread is all about. You're just screeching about this "fair wage" thing to excuse yourself from people not buying your flaming 340$ commissions? That is honestly pretty sad desu.
But I will give you some credit, because I will consider increasing my prices, not to the bullshit amount of your mid weeb coom draws, but to an amount that people (and I) find reasonable for my art, something like 10 extra bucks from it's original 40$.

The market doesn't want your product. No one is going to pay money out of their full wages if you don't deliver a value which society perceives is the effort that goes into those wages.

The only valid complain would be claiming the perception of the value you offer is off, but it doesn't seem off at all. Your skill is not worth 340$

weak, i got knives pulled on me in third grade. That shit happens, anyone can get a knife. If you see a knife, keep distance, use your coat like a matador, hold it as far from yourself as you can. If he wants to stab, he'll stab the coat. Wrap the coat around his arm, kick groin, take or throw the coat with knife now inside. No need for training or getting into dangerous melee. It's not optimal but it worked and kept me safe a number of times. One way or another you learn to deal with it.

These unfunny effeminate threads are proof that this board is just a den of underage shitposters trying to get big with anime coom and probably organizing on some shitcord server.

I normally wish everyone the best, but i really hope no one of you ever gets any fame or money.
The pornification of art and its consequences have been really a disaster for the human race.
At this point i really hope AI gets commercialized and easily available to normies, so none of you can ever get the chance of even get one like.

all those 300k can just google "tit vagene anime" on google and get a billion results. But they go to that average artist to have their art made by a human. Why do you think that is? If google images can't beat an artist, AI won't be any artists either.

Sometimes I wonder if prices aren't this low because people start out at 20$ when they're /beg/ as fuck and don't dare charge more but never raise them significantly when they improve because they're too afraid of confrontation to do so. I've seen people increase them by 10-20$ but I've yet to see some dude double them outright arguing he's been doing it for dirt cheap the last couple of years.

You know, the same way wages never go up because people are too scared to ask for more than 3% while their rent doubles.

I learned my lesson about dropping prices. im /beg/ but i needed some grocery money, so i did 4 quick sketches for $4 total type of sale. it worked, but motherfuckers were asking for the most tedious boring shit ever it felt like fucking torture. i had to end it after a few days, and then i knew to stick to my guns.

Fuck no! Freefaggots are the worse kind of people you want to attract. They'll ask for the moon and yet somehow gets angry that their free shit isn't done yet. Worse than paying commissioners. So far in my years of doing commissions, I've only ever done 3-4 free artwork gifts and that's also out of my own volition. No request shit. Requestfags are the worst.
