Creative Corner

Hi ! Well, I know pricing art is a kind of recurring subject here, but as I'm no professional and still have room to improve, I wanted to ask you some help pricing those in FR currency. So the questions are : [i]Would you buy something like that ? How much do you think it's worth/how much would you pay for it ?[/i] If you want to ask for pricing after I'm done, I don't mind if you use this topic to ask as long as everyone is polite with each other. [quote="after first answer, my estimated prices"]So based on what you say I guess I would charge around 40kt-60kt on the sketches depending on how complicated they are and for the colored around 250-300kt/g ? Is it overpriced?

@Ameythista I think your art is pretty good! How long did it take for you to draw those? Time really matters when selling/trading art!
Since the ratio is usually 1 usd=100kt=100g, I think it would be worth around 250-500kt/g
I tend to make it worth the time (Though, my art shop is kind of old lol)
Maybe follow this:
30 min art=70kt/g
1 hour art=180kt/g
1 hour 30 min=300kt/g
2 hour art= 400kt/g
Some may even charge over 1000g/kt for something that takes like 8 hours or something! I still need LOTS of improvement, so if you don't find this accurate or useful, I'm okay with it! (Still, I hope you find it useful xD)
Since your art is actually recognizable, I'd say you'll have pretty good luck selling and trading your art :)

@jia1303
Thank you so much for the answer and feedback ! =)
Well, the sketches were definitely in the 30 min range, but the colored ones took longer.

So based on what you say I guess I would charge around 40kt-60kt on the sketches depending on how complicated they are and for the colored around 250-300kt/g ?

I'll wait for one or two more persons, because I definitely don't want to overprice, but you were really helpful =)

@Ameythista yup, that's right, time and details really matter!
And of course, there is a different price for headshots, fullbodies, and colored (etc)!
I'll leave that decision for you!

@jia1303
Yes thank you! Though I'm not sure I'm planning on doing fullbodies unless people ask me to as I'm still in need of improving them...
But you definitely were helpful, I can't thank you enough for at least giving me some base to think on.

bump !
I'd like a last opinion before closing the topic ^^
Added a more recent sketch (today)

Price your art depending on supply and demand. If your list is getting filled extremely fast then your pricing is to low and you should increase your price. If you are barely getting any customers your price is to high and you need to decrease it.

Your arts pretty good and high leveled so id start at 160kt-200kt and see what your markets like.
I'd also definitely start a paylal or something so people can pay using rlc as it opens yourself up to a lot of customers instead if limiting yourself to fr currency

@AwesomeTeaPot
Thank you so much for the awesome advice !
I'm setting up the shop now, while following your advice, though I'll wait a bit for paypal.
