Hello,
I originally went to the place where people buy and sell commissions to ask this, but it seemed agaisnt the rules to inquire there. I went to Art Scene, and found the very first rule seemed to indicate that was not the place, but this was. As, my question essetially asks you to rate my sketches (I will not call it art as I do not do art, I only make pictures) based on how much money it'd be worth.
Simply, I plan to offer commissions. I also don't care what the price actually is I sell them for. I was 'going' to sell them at a dollar a peice, but found an enraged girlfriend argueing against said actions. So I need help.
I need to essetially rate my work, on how much it'd be worth to buy something sketched by me. How much would you be willing to pay or how much you think is worth asking for from my unfortunite low skill level.
I will provide my favorite example works and further details fallowing.
I did this sketch in half an hour, not taking my time.
Testing out a new style further. This is how my realisim generally goes.
When I get photoshop again, I'll be able to somewhat color like this. Not good quality, but I think I'm at least 2 out of 5 on the scale.
Kiriban I once did for someone. Featuring three of my own characters, one of hers, and one of her friends at her request. Mixed with a real background shot.
Other images of poor quality but possable itnerest.
As a note, I always sketch on regular sketch paper with whatever pencil I can find. Then fallow up with inking if I can. I have always scanned at 150 and didn't learn about 300 till today sadly. I additionaly am quick at my work, rarely taking more then an hour on a single image, if not half an hour tops for most. I draw for entertainment of myself and for ego rubbings, so I do not work at my full 100% without real motivation.
I am also without the ability to color my work for a while. I have another artist lineing up to do the coloring for me, but this means it'll take more time then just a sketch from me, and will cost more as her work actually has quality
is the artist.
I expect poor reviews. Good reviews will be taken very happily, but are not expected. How much would you, pay or suggest to price my work?

I walk in the shadows, to better aid the light.
A little help please?...
