...to make any worth mentioning money (with commisionss or freelance)?

By "any" i don't mean low as 5$ or high as 600$ per illustration but let's say something between 100$ and 200$ per illustration/design, if it takes you somewhere between 5 and 10 hours.

I'll post 7 random artworks from dA (different artists, different skills, different style) and tell me if they can make that money.
I'm asking you that because i have NO idea how much is that worth.

1/7 how much would this be worth

Depends on how well you market your work/sell yourself
>>2788581
Pieces like this are really good for a portfolio if you want to attract children's writers
>>
>>2788576
50-100 depending on how good you sell it.
>>2788578
20-50 it has elements that let it down and make it feel rushed.
>>2788581
10-15 but desu, its not really even worth that.
>>2788582
20-30 cell shade. need i say more.
>>2788583
elements of this one feel unfinished, this quality is the level some peoples thumbnails are up too. its worth maybe 20 bucks. and purely as a keyframe in a story board. so 20 bucks provided you have mocked up 10 other quick sketches that are part of a concept deal, its not that great as it does nothing specific well enough to demand more cash.
>>2788584
decent rendering, but bad composition, but tells a scene well enough, its worth 60-100 for a single concept.
>>2788585
its unfinished. noone really pays for unfinished sketches unless you work in house at a studio, but then again your on the clock so everything you make under their roof belongs to the studio.
this one is worth 0 bucks.


you may have noticed that i priced singular character design above everything else, sadly this is just the norm, lots of autists out there want their own OC brought to life but lack the know-how when it comes to getting it done.

draw furrie porn.

>you may have noticed that i priced singular character design above everything else

Well that's because you are a legitimate idiot who doesn't know anything about what he's talking about. Disregarding the quality of work, a full illustration will always be more expensive than a single character design. Especially if it isn't even a full turnaround.
>>
>>2788634
my statement was purely directed at the images seen here, they are not mere character sketches,
the character sheets seen here are of finished image quality, if i meant sketches or just pure designs thats a different story.

im already under a studio so i really dont care what you may think of me, what i say is the truth, get mad, or get to work my spicy friend.
>>
>>2788617

Didn't you underprice them a bit? I know it also depends how much is one willing to pay but i would add 10-20 bucks to each of your price
>>
>>2788578
all I can say is that I easily see this person charging around $80-$120 for a knees-up image like this. it doesn't matter who thinks it's worth that or not, because there will be people who will pay it.

the rest desu all look like they wouldn't have the popularity to sell at all.
>>
>>2788617
>>2788636
Can we get a non-studio slave's opinion?
Someone that actually does freelance?
>>
>>2788788
implying that i did not have to first do about 3 years of freelance first...hehehe silly boi
>>
>>2788791
If those are the kinds of rates you expected, I can see why you switched.
>>
>>2788788
it's super hard to tell desu,

the most time consuming = the most expensive in the freelance world.
>>
>>2789716

So someone who is struggling with illustration for 40 hours because of lack of knowledge should charge at least 500 bucks?
>>
>>2789721
obviously not, if you're a fucking shitter, dont charge hourly.

he asked about professional freelance, not DA tier garbage
>>
>>2788576
>>2788578
I think these would be fair to charge between $100-$200 for, especially if there are design sketches involved before making the final illustration. They could both definitely be pushed a bit further though in terms of polish/finish.
>>
I don't want to antagonize, but there are 8 posters in this thread (me excluded) so far, and 1 is OP.

So of the 7 people remaining, how many are making money from commissions right now? Are you guys freelancers? Do you draw porn?
>>
To those who do commissions, how many offer do you get and finish every week?
>>
>>2789824
and what % of it is porn
