artist-confessions:

An artist who I follow has great art and everything, but her prices are too much even if her art is nice. I want to tell her, but I feel scared she just might judge and hate me because of it! It’s frustrating me. No one would pay this much; what is she thinking?

Now, hopefully I did this right; I never submitted a picture before.

Wow so.. I’m actually the artist this post is about, I just so happened to be checking this blog and I was wondering why this picture was so familiar. My deviantart page was, and still is, under re-organization while this picture was taken. I’m really not mad at the person, they might just not realize that I boosted my commission prices because I was making so little for an hour or more worth of work. My art is still rather mediocre, but I decided it was at least worth a try to get more out of my commissions. None-the-less, this was surprising to see.

That much for so little?

Excuse me? If im right about point prices,  Thats like 4.50 AT THE MOST.  You’re getting your greasy self a fucking commission for under 5 bucks. That’s probably hours of work, and the artist having to dO the work, for like, 5 bucks?

I’m pretty sure you can afford that hon.

and the artist doesnt even get that 4.50 she gets like 2 dollars because of deviantart taking a percentage of it

deviantart isnt really the place if you want to get profit from your art

unless you call a dollar fifty a reasonable price for hours of work.
