2nd Journal/ Commissions

Wed Sep 30, 2009, 9:11 AM
Hey DA Buddies,

Hope everything is going well with you. Things could be... more exciting for lack of a better word.
Anyway, I want you guys' input on a topic that all artists have to deal with: Commissions. More specifically the pricing of commissions.
At this year's MegaCon, I had charged $5,$10,$15 for pencil sketches, BW drawings, and color drawings respectively. Since I am slightly more experienced now (and have the option to color digitally) I was thinking of adding $5 to each of those prices.

Also, what's the going rate for works for a magazine, digital or otherwise? I had once taken $150 to do 2 map drawing for a church. That would break down to $75 each. Does that sound reasonable? Does the personal commission rate sound reasonable? I would like your honest opinion. Thanks!

PS: To those who might be wondering while reading this: Yes, I am open for commissions, caricatures or otherwise.
