Hey guys, I'm a little short on cash and without a job so I need to find a way to start making money to save in order to get to California this summer to go to school. I figured I'd offer commissions because every little bit counts.

Transparent Icons - $2

Sketches w/shading - $2
example: http://sillydog47.deviantart.com/galler ... 7#/d2yqk3v , http://d.facdn.net/art/sillydogthegreat ... kkidsd.jpg

Inked drawings with shading - $4

Transparent Full Body Character - $6
example: http://fc02.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2011/ ... 380xk6.png Yours will have full body though.

Flat colors - $8

Colors w/shading - $10
example: http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2010/ ... 32y8oe.jpg , http://d.facdn.net/art/sillydogthegreat ... efinal.jpg , http://d.facdn.net/art/sillydogthegreat ... ifinal.jpg , http://fc08.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2010/ ... 361xr5.jpg

Colors, shading and some sort of background - $12

Extra characters are $1 each.

I will draw anything and everything. You chose whether you want it to be done digitally or with colored pencils.

I accept payment through PayPal and mail.

Thanks PK! I'm really hoping I get some offers. Are my prices too expensive or do you suppose they're alright?

Wow, these look really amazing! I have a few suggestions for your prices, however, because I believe if you took all that time to make something, it's definitely worth more. :)

Shading: $2

Coloring: $5

Sketches: $2

Inking: $3

Transparent: $5

Original sketch: $2


So if you wanted a transparent drawing of your character with coloring and shading, it would be $14. You'd make more money as well. I think that if you truly wanted to be an artist (Or plain just want to make money), you should settle for higher prices. I would hate to know you take so much time to make something and people only pay two dollars. Good luck, by the way! :)

Thanks, so far I'm not making any money at all either way. No one wants my art unless it's free apparently.

Hmm, I have to admit, I agree with you. Nobody here is probably going to want to buy your art, even though it's splendid. I would look elsewhere to see if you can impress other people. I'm sure people who have a passion for art would greatly appreciate your work and want to buy them. :)

These all look great, Silly. Tough market, though. I feel you; I'm jobless and trying to scrape together money by gigging and it's just a tough business. Good luck, if I need any art I'll come to you first, and I'll be sure to mention you to people! ^^
