You are being lowballed. Even if you were the shittiest artist in the world, furry nsfw should be worth at least three times that amount .

I am an art student right now tho, just doing college right now take most of my time and when I have free time I tend to stay at home to draw things as hobby anyway, I just never thought that the first commission I got would be to draw furry porn.

I drew furry loli guro and rape when I was practically homeless. Most of my commissioners were nice but kinda creepy, and after taking commissions for 10 years now on and off I got my first horrible customer.
He was such a fucking asshole who would demand updates not even two hours after he commissioned it(the furry loli guro and some SFW feral and anthro stuff) because I told him I'd start it that day. I told him it'd be a week or two until it's all finished, but he'd still message me here and there demanding I be done. Since this was my first(and only so far) aggressive customer I just tried to appease him and give him constant updates even if I hardly did anything. He'd turn around and act incredibly nice with each update, only to turn around again frothing at the mouth. Being a pussy, I offered him some free sketches when I was done with his commissions to make up for the wait. Of course, he started bombarding my email and pages with demands to get his free shit and at that point I told him to go fuck himself.

I always thought I'd never have limits to what I draw as long as I was getting paid but four years later I'm still suffering and terrified those pictures will come to light with my name attached since I didn't use a different drawing style.

Does this happen to everyone? I just start doing commission and stuff, mostly nsfw and all of my clients are like this. I always get creep out by how they describe their fetishes in such great details, and how specific they were when it come to the size of male character genitals.

You're getting ripped off alright. Compare your prices and quality with other artists. If by any chance you're actually not good enough to even warrant 15 bucks per character you should just git gud for a bit more.
>>3097663
If they're buying a product tailored to them they have every right to dictate how it should be according to their tastes (unless they go on a pointless spiel about what kind of people their ocs are or whether they're horsecock loving futas then they're autistic). I get more terrified when they aren't specific with what they want and leave it to me because honestly who would do that
>>
>>3097663
Besides that one guy, my NSFW commissioners have always been fucking great and nice. The weirder their fetish(s), the nicer they seemed. And a bit too happy to further discuss them outside of commission detail.

Describing the size of the junk they want doesn't sound weird. If anything I'll be happy to deal with too much detail than little to no detail at all.

>Lawyer is hired. Threats are sent, via lawyer and agent. I pull out of project, cut my losses - at this point, we've spent more time arguing with the douchebag manager than working on the project. I just want to move on, and forget them. Not worth it.

Worst story i have. Mostly my commissions go well - when I had an agent, it was great. Now I don't take commissions, and i paint for myself. I had some small issues starting out, but this was the only time I had to hire a lawyer. Most of the check the label cut me went to the lawyer, too.
>>
>>3099638

Did you signed a contract? It's seem that you lose more money hiring a lawyer.
>>
>>3099645
Of course I signed a contract. The first sentence says it. And the reason I hired a lawyer is the manager was trying to change the terms of that contract.
One of the first things i learned was I don't pick up a pencil without a contract. Ever.
And, we're talking music industry. You often need a contract, and a lawyer, because of the douchebags. It's one of the reasons i don't look for work there anymore.

You could always, you know, deny the commission if you didn't want it to be your first.

I have no idea, I've never actually tried. I'm not even sure where to find people looking for artists to publish their own wildlife books. It seems most authors are also their own artists. I'd be happy just to do it or fake monster bestiaries, desu. Whether or not I could make a living off of it like my inspo Terryl Whitlatch. I just really like it and it doesn't stress me out like having to draw scenes with people or come up with 2deep4u shit.

Not sure if I should go for college just to get a degree on my resume either, or so I can get a concept artist job at Blizzard or something like my old artist buddies did.
>>
>>3099855
It gets easier, the more you do it. 95% of the work I've done, there were no problems at all - working for record labels, book publishers, etc. It's all pretty cut and dried, and I have a solid contract that i use that doesn't have any sketchy elements - and I have a great reputation I've worked my ass off to get, of being easy to work with.
Want to see nightmares? Go look at a recording contract for a major label. It will be an inch thick. (which is why most don't read them) You'll find clauses they throw in, just to see if you're paying attention. Like this one band, the label threw in a clause that if any member quit or was fired, for any reason, they would not be able to perform anywhere else, for anyone else, for 5 years. Their manager rejected that one, and it was fine, but that's the kind of shit they like to pull. A lot of people in the music and movie industry treat it like a game, and throw clauses in just for the fun of it.
But everyone should learn contracts, how to make a basic one, and have a lawyer's business card, one who practices copyright law, on file. Sometimes all it takes is a $100 cease and desist on law firm letterhead to make a client pay. The easiest way to learn is the Graphic Artist's Guild - you can join as an artist, especially as a digital artist, and the handbook has sample contracts you can use.
>>
>>3099969
You were 5 weeks overdue on a simple drawing, and the client is fucking stupid?

You're not taking commissions, you're playing at being an artist. Good luck in the professional world with your attitude.

>>3100186
Have you ever considered, oh, I don't know, book publishers?

Do you think these people are going to come find you? Get off your ass and find out, for fuck's sake. Contact other wildlife artists and ask for advice. Contact book publishers and ask for advice. How fucking hard is that? I wanted to do book covers and album covers since high school, so as soon as I got to where I felt I could do the work, I started calling them, asking for the art directors, and asking how it worked. This was by phone and letter - you have the fucking internet! Get off your fucking ass!

If your sample is representative...don't count on that job at Blizzard. If you can't even be bothered to do a little research on finding a job, you're never going to be a creative professional.
>>
>>3100303
I've looked, just not very hard. Volunteered at two wildlife sanctuaries too and asked around(though i didn't sign up for it because of art, figured i'd get to meet some people who did do it). I'm still just mulling shit around since I don't actually want this to be my 'career' as much as a hobby since I already have a decent stable union job that will also font some money for college. Recently I signed up for a local art class to get back into painting and I run a class at a bar on weekends. I'm really in no rush.

How do I know if I went too cheap? What kind of upcharging do you do for complexity?
>>
>>3100476
That sounds a bit too cheap, but it also depends on what level your art is. I've seen artists do one character+environment for around $100. After all, environments usually take a lot of time.
>>
>>3100476
I encourage the use of a percentage-based system. 100% price for a full body picture, 60-75% for half-way up the thighs, 40%-50% for a chest and up, and 20-30% for the face. Each additional character is about 80-90% of the cost of the original, added to the total cost. So for 5 or six full characters, you'd end up with (4 or 5)*(.90*(full character cost))+(full character cost). So if it costs $50 for a full character, for six it'd be $275 plus whatever charge for the background. I usually do a flat rate for the background depending on the level of complexity. The more characters you add in, the less background you have to draw, so you can maybe turn some sort of profit here.
For the level of detail on a character, time how long it takes you to draw something at the level of detail you are willing to offer on any basic commission. Figure out your hourly rate based on that. Never work for anything less than minimum wage. If you're finding that you're taking too long, make shortcuts. If you're well over min wage and your skill level/popularity doesn't back up that extra amount, then you're probably overcharging.
If you're drawing detailed clothing or anything, anything that takes too long, you essentially charge overtime, time and a half (150% of normal price) for.

I've refunded so much in the past that now I only take payment after I'm done unless it's $50+(then i only take half first). One day someone will just bounce with the art but I mostly only do colored sketch commissions so it's not a huge loss.
>>
>>3102004
ANON PLEASE.

For your fucking sanity add a revision policy to your terms & contract. Even if it's something you just say before accepting a commission ("So for an inked piece I'll show you the sketch WIP, and I'll do up to two free revisions before moving on to actual inking. The fewer revisions a piece takes the faster I can complete it. That sounds good?")

I have a HARD limit of two free revisions. If they ask for another revision after the first I usually will ask they take 24 hours to make sure their list of revisions is complete so I can correct everything at once. Only rarely rarely have that happen, never had anyone actually need a third round of revisions. If they did I'd just say I'd be glad to continue revising but I'll have to ask for compensation for the labor- Hard to get snotty when I can point to policy AND explicitly advising them to give me ALL necessary revisions second time around.

I also allow patrons to waive major revisions if they want to, since there's a good chance I'll get it to them faster if I don't have to pause to hit them up with the WIP every step of the way.

My general advice:
- Protect yourself with polite policy ahead of time
- Emphasize that revisions mean slower commissions & slower commissions makes it harder for you to keep your commission prices down
- Offer unlimited compensated revisions, but let them know that you have other pieces in queue to do between revisions so other patrons can get their pieces within their agreed upon timeframe


You're never going to please some people but lets be realistic if you're 10 revisions in there's never going to be a version they're going to be happy with 100%. Generally if you have a 2 revision policy for single-piece commissions they'll make sure to get their revisions in on on one.
>>
>>3102499
I charge upfront unless it's something big and do it half and half. I only charge when I'm absolutely sure I'm going to deliver something I'm happy with or else I keep sketching until I'm satisfied.

If I can't meet up my expectations and the client's I simply apologize and give up.

>tfw you can't even get furries to commission you
>>
Where do you guys draw the line? Would you draw anything as long as it's legal? Would you charge more for furshit?
>>
>>3102588
Right now I'm kinda desperate for quick cash so I'll kinda draw anything for semi-cheap.

In general as long as it's legal and not an extreme fetish I'll draw it

>>3102588
I told myself i wouldn't do vore, ended up doing vore. Told myself i'd attract pedos if i did loli, ended up doing loli, list goes on....

>mfw it's only 10$

you fucking faggot, that is not worth 10 dollars. I bet that drawing took you at least a couple hours.
Show us your work, if you're not at the skill level that should be paid than I will tell you and you can keep grinding,
If you ARE at the skill level I'll tell you so you can stop underselling yourself and acting like a cheap whore.

>takes me a week working 10 hours a day to draw something somebody else can put out in an evening.
I'm not alone holy shit

>extreme body mods/feats
>toddlercon
and well maybe changing canon. like giving a dfc charater huge tits for no reason. a narrative would make it much better, but still rubs me wrong.
everything else is fine givan it's within my skill range.

I'm worried that I might get in trouble if I do post the picture in question here, but here ya go, it's another pic that I finished a while ago for using my friend's character.

Also the furry picture that they commissioned me is a basic color+ basic shading not full cg stuff, so I only charge them 10 usd.

The thing is I don't know how to set a pricing for myself, you know? I don't know if my art is any good or how much would people pay for it. I'm worried that they might expect too much out of me if I charge too much.

you don't learn anything from digital because you can easily remove mistakes, paper allows you to recognise the various things you need to fix, as long as you enjoy drawing you should get better eventually

I meant
"Do you still have the armor reference ?*"
I can't type for shit
>>
>>3103236
I guess I could work my ass off for a tablet with a screen and meanwhile practice on paper.
>>
>>3103131
This shit could be around 30-40 bucks dude. If you don't know your pricing check what other people sell at

I'm looking up my notes and here's the armor references he linked up to me:

do note that he wanted to merge those first two armors as one before he changed his mind for the third one AND re-reading my notes that he wants "tribal armour like animal skull for the headpiece"...

>>3102507
I'm planning to re-open my commissions once I'm done with my currents and saved this text to my notepad, especially revisions. Thanks kind anon.
