Think about this the next time you even dare suggest an artist lower their prices.

[nattosoup]

Me when people at cons say $5 sketches are ‘too expensive’ or are upset that I now charge $10 for full figures.

[fishwrites]

Honestly I have never seen a tumblr artists’ commission prices and thought “too expensive.” I understand it’s a fan community, but when the average retoucher charges 100$/hour and artists are charging like, 20$ max for like a FULL COLOURED THING PERSON THING??? i’m like WHAT??? I CAN”T EVEN FUCKING DRAW A BLOB that would take me 500 years why is it 20$ and i just sit there bein glike. so. what if i bought 20. or whatever. the point is I think tumblr should look at creative services and what they charge. I shot casual grad photos as a favour for someone and it was 70$/30 minutes. FANDOM ARTISTS ARE GIVING IT TO YOU EASY LSKDJFLSDKJ give them your money as fast as you can i don’t think this is sustainable nad you should get it while stocks last.

[villainkin]

please remember that tipping someone when you commission them is absolutely something you can do! artists have to set their prices to what the market average is on this site (which is woefully low) so tipping an extra £5 or £10 can really help. consider it next time you commission someone.

[many-masks-of-nerd]

I will probably never buy art. Mostly because I’m poor. Instead I will be thrilled silly by art won in contests, and reblog artists I enjoy. I’ve absolutely seen art that’s too expensive. And by ‘too expensive’, I mean I cannot fathom, in my financial state, buying high-priced art of my character (no matter how much I love her.) Because.. I have bills. It is too expensive for me.

AND SO DO ARTISTS. It’s their time and their skill and their budget so they can charge whatever the hell they want, within reason. (And by that, I mean a ten minute sketch ought not cost 100 dollars.) You’re buying something because you can’t do it yourself. So if an artist charges ‘too much’, that means they’re charging too much for you. Not that their prices are unfair.

There’s nothing wrong with a little light negotiation. And negotiating requires things on both sides. Ask for the style you like, but with no background or limited shading for a slightly lower price; maybe that’s worth it for the artist because it could take less time and work. And if it’s not, drop it and scout around for an artist or different type of art that fits your budget. But do not tell them that they need to change their prices for you. What the hell.

ThinkGeek, I appreciate and enjoy how you know exactly who your target market is.

[writing-prompt-s]

Your girlfriend has always hated you, and is constantly making attempts to ruin your life. However, everything she does inadvertently makes your life better. Today, ever oblivious, you propose to her.

[vorebear]

[themommestfriend-deactivated201]

no

[the-meme-monarch]

y'all remember that children’s storybook “duck! rabbit!” right

[kyrakupetsky]

I animated a fake theme song for my ridiculous bunny concept! Fuwa Fuwa Foof, a show about a sweet little bunny who used to be a vicious gang leader. Her old accomplices Giri Giri and Kiri Kiri constantly try to lure her back to a life of debauchery while Foof struggles to resist the good ol’ days of punching in some teeth. This is just for fun, it’s not a real show haha! Song is ‘Chu Chu Lovely’ by Maximum the Hormone

[u5ena]
