# virgo # artprice # arthelp

I decided to just make one big thread, since I need to make threads in the Art Discussion forum all the time.

Anywho, right now, I would like some pricing on a painterly chibi like [this]. Also, some feedback would be nice!

I would guess around 2mil.
It would be nice to see more examples of your work so we may help you better price it! C:

Oh man, I am really bad at pricing, haha. But since you'd like some feedback, I'd say anywhere from 2-4 mil, depending on complexity. You should remember that people are partly paying for your time and effort when it comes to a commission. 1 mil is too low, I think. How much time do you spend on each chibi? I like your chibi style. I have personally tried chibis in the past and thought it was quite difficult to really get into the style, but that's just me. (And it's partly because for a long time I was pushing for a very realistic style.) The left (our left) side of the vest looks a bit long in this piece, with it hanging over the skirt as it does? Again, that could be just the way it looks to me. I like how the symbol you put on there looks like a mixture of a heart and a musical note. c:

Yeah, I think 1 mil's way too low for this. xD It took me ... probably around 2 hours? I don't know. I suck at estimating time.
The left side does look a little long. I think I should have drawn it at a sharper angle, maybe.

I'm going to start the Pokedex Project again soon, you guys! 8D
Some of you might not know what that is, so I'll explain:
- I will be drawing 1 of every single Pokemon.
- That does not include accessories you might add to your favorite Pokemon, or shinies.
- They will look similar to this, but correct. c:
- Only one Pokemon per user.
- Completely first-come, first-serve
- I recommend pinging your friends when the thread opens up. Also users with Pokemon names, like Piplup and raichu

All I have to do is finish up my current 3 commissions and then the fun will begin!

Also, please note that after I finish my commissions... my art shop will be shut down. I don't think I like have an art shop very much. I feel too obligated and too rushed. After KK♥S closes, I'll still be taking commissions, though. I think it would be nice if someone just smailed me about a commission. Seems a lot more nice and personal. C:

Edit:

Sorry about that. I accidentally pressed 'enter' and then my slow-ass computer wouldn't let me edit very quickly. T-T

@virgo

One thing you really need to keep in mind is proportions. The bent leg and arm appear to be MUCH longer than the other respective limb.

Try working with a skeleton sketch before moving onto the rest of the body. It helps to prevent problems like that.

I do commissions! See my profile for details.

Thanks! I hadn't really noticed. :<
I do have some problems with proportions/anatomy. It's something I think I'll always have to work on...

AAAH she would have been so lopsided if I made that drawing into a doll or something. >x<

Try to think in terms of how many real dollars you think this is worth for your time. 1mil sp is not even 1USD - that's WAY too low for that Miku picture, any way you look at it. I know art in underpriced in general on the internet, but you want to be paid in accordance with the effort you put in. I'd pitch it at 3mil sp and see what response you get. If it's really popular, raise the prices a bit until you find a balance. =)
