Thought this would be important to share. This pay scheme has been used for at least me, and the 2 other artists she hired with me, since 2020. The only thing that changed was we then asked for USD instead after a bit of being on board post MM. And before you think “oh that’s fair for such a small image size” yall don’t know how insane it is as a big canvas artist to work with something that’s almost damn pixel art without the pixel art charm and look. For conversion clarification; it was 2,3,5$ USD for items and 15-20$ USD for ADs. No one doing this style of art should be paid this much. I have injured my drawing hand getting shit done in time for launches working part time and putting most my time into it. The artists I’d at least hope justice for are Sugarbear and Fawnpaws (jaratekid iirc) these names may be out of date, but they were nothing but kind and amazing workers, and I hope they can go even farther than this.
