commissions?

Posted by sucho - June 11th, 2009


my affair with being a pretentious artfag that-is-unable-to-put-a-price-on-print s has quickly waned.

does anyone here make commissions? what of, and how did you figure out pricing? i'm wondering if i might be able to do them. perhaps not now, a month from my busiest event of the year, but i'm unemployed and i don't make a dime off the art i do.

so, i'd appreciate some serious advice on that. THANKS.

current gallery in case you don't know who the hell i am. HECK

cuz if nobody helps me now, i'm going to have to move in with a preening fag in Te-jas for monetary sustenance.

plz help

commissions?

i think you should do it, for you are TEH ZEX

this is a highly detailed comment with lots of genuine thought put into it, but ultimately says very little useful information.

NO MAN U SUX MAH PE-N0RR!!1 8=====> U:

well i generally price my art pretty cheap, but some people can get away with murder

Generally price depends on how much work you put into it, and how much effort/cost it is to create the prints.

If it's an original work that's one of a kind feel free to jack the price up a bit

define cheap. i have absolutely no concept of commission prices.

original as in not-a-print? unfortunately i wont have that luxury cuz digital is all i'm capable of if somebody wants COLOUR.

yeah by original i mean not a print.

Well in my store i price my stencil prints based off of size and layers (time spent), small ones are around 5-10$, medium is 25-30$, large ones around 50$

But those are usually limited runs, i only make maybe 10 prints of a stencil at a time. It's much easier to make new prints of digital works, so take that into consideration when pricing.

Also i've been told i don't charge enough for my prints, which is why i said i sell mine for pretty cheap XD

how do you sell on the interwebs? oh, and many thanks.

well i have an account on etsy.com. There's a small fee to put things in the store, but it's fairly cheap.

I'm thinking of getting rid of my store though, it doesn't really get any play, haven't sold anything on it. So i'm still trying to find a good way to sell stuff on the net to.

Check etsy out though you might have better luck than me, and just cruise the intranet for anywhere that will let you open up shop

i was 'sposed to make an etsy account before the summer but i never did. they sell prints? i thought it was only tangible items. oh well. mebbe after the summer

Well you can list whatever the hell you want on there, they won't make the prints for you though. But you can run to a kinko's or some copying place and get high quality prints made for fairly cheap.

mmmm... kinky-o's.

You'd get plenty of income selling yiffer stuff, there's a huge market for that I believe.

Although you'd be a tit.

i don't wants to be a tit :(

i can't wait to sell out really, but i thought it would be through awful sci fi movies and pictures of star trek nerds with the bodies of adonnis making out with uhura. the original one.

Well I have the upmost confidence in your abilities as an artist! I find it hard to believe no one would commission you, your style and skill surpass many college graduates (the gay ones, anyway).

I'd commission you if I had the money, or the desire to talk to you long enough to ask for one.

I hope you accept my tough love.

golly that is tough, apparently i'm hard to talk to..?

nu :(

I thought if everyone else could joke, I could too

GUESS NOT

tragedy is the greatest joke of all!! AHAHAHA.

I gave you herpes

now everybody is happy.

>:D

<:X

If my lazy ass can make money doing it, I think you'll be fine. Though I dunno about making a ton of money.... Try getting some large prints done and maybe you can sell it to a coffee shop. I always wanted to try that.

thats a good idea..... now i just need to make art that doesn't have willies and tits in it.

But the willies and tits are the selling point!

I had posters made and everything D:

SO CONFLICTED

Do you really have a pet turtle?

yes, and SHE LOVES ME AND WOULD NEVER LEAVE ME

*turtle desperately tries to scale aquarium walls and escape*

I'm going to eat it

she could so scale your insides and escape. or tunnel.

I'll chew her up first as I do with anything I intend to ingest.

this conversation is making me blue

i want a pet turtle :C

Or maybe just a really tiny dog that i could also keep in an aquarium

hmmm... i don't quite see that panning out...as anything other than AWESOME!

...If I wasn't going to eat that as well

Maybe the tiny dog would learn to adapt and grow gills, and get webbed paws.

I don't see how this could possibly go wrong!

I KNOW RIGHT??

can you imagine the tv show they could make with a dog like that? what with the success Flipper and Lassie had......
