Welcome to my art shop!

I am a traditional artist, working mainly with colored pencils, watercolors, colored acrylic inks and india ink.

What I offer:

India Ink [monochrome]

India Ink [+ colored acrylic ink]

Colored Pencil

Watercolor + India Ink

If someone could tell me how to turn these thumbnails into links to the full size images that would be great...

PLEASE HELP ME PRICE MY ART! <3

The first 3 people who give me a good honest opinion of how I should price (preferably in USD, but also gems and treasure) I will draw you a colored quick-draw chibi of one of your dragons <3

--UNDER CONSTRUCTION!--

I NEED YOUR HELP! Because... Holy cow I'm rusty at this. Please bare with me as I slowly edit this page until I have gotten my bearings on this (I know.. basic) coding a little more.

@RadialDaze I think they're not showing up as images cos you're grabbing the page address, not the image address? Images normally end in .jpg or .png
Make sure you right click the image you want and hit 'copy image address'.

Wow, your art is great! As for pricing, it really depends on what you're going for - are you looking to make a profit/sweet IRL cash/sweet dragon bucks, or are you looking more for practice/fun? That can influence your pricing. Obviously, if you're looking just to fill boredom/have fun you'll probably end up pricing lower since profit won't matter as much - and the opposite is true if you're looking to make actual cash money for it.

For reference: $1 USD= 100 Gems. The gem to treasure ratio varies, but I've seen many artists use 1 gem = 1000 treasure for simplicity's sake.

My experience: I've been buying art on this site for way too long.

Someone with your skill set could easily charge $10-15 USD for a sketch, all the way up to $30, $40, or more for a full piece with watercolor. This, of course, would translate to anywhere from 1000 to 4000 or more gems. Of course, you probably want to include the cost of your materials in there as well, since you're a traditional media, so that could also raise the price beyond what I've stated.

Not all artists do a direct conversion however - some put higher gem/treasure prices than USD because they're looking to nudge people towards USD. Others lower it because the purchasing power of $10 and 1000 gems are vastly different or want to give those without access to USD/RCL a chance at their art (I saw one artist who halved their gem/treasure price, and I've seen one who's doubled their gem/treasure price compared to USD). Most keep it simple and do a direct conversion, though.

Some people also do it by the hour - they take a wage, whatever they think is an appropriate 'living wage' in their area - and charge that price per hour of work. These are people usually looking to make a living solely off art!

I hope this helps!

EDIT: Oh! And to make images have links the code is

[ url=WEBSITELINKHERE ][ img ]IMAGEURLHERE[ /img ][ /url ]
without the spaces!
