Hey /ic/ please help me understand my client, pic related is the kind of work i'm doing for roughly 13 dollars.
he's been requesting changes since last week, but now he asked me to change the expression and the background of this piece, do i sound like a little bitch or is this really bullshit?
theres another 18 pieces to go.
Lol why are you painting over a photo? Don't accept work if you don't have the skill. You're a faggot.
>>2303193
because he is only willing to pay 13 dollars for a piece.
also ur mum
>>2303196
Why are you doing work for 13 dollars.
>>2303200
because 13 dollars is half a month's worth of salary here.
>>2303200
yes, its way less than i'd like and i don't like doing it.
but it's what i got for now, what would you suggest?
i'm asking legit, not trying to be a cunt.
>>2303203
say to him you want more moneys if you have to do those changes.
>>2303204
you are right, i should just suck it up and charge more if he comes at me with that bs
>>2303207
you should have done a preliminary sketch that matched his request, sent it over to see if there's anything that needs changing, and after that you start working and charge extra for any further changes he wants.
>>2303217
i've been doing something similar, this is what i sent him at first, just to confirm the concept
>>2303222
fuckin photobashers
I don't know what's worse, doing this shit for 13 bucks or actually giving someone 13 bucks for this shit.
>>2303240
To be honest you shouldn't be working yet. Spend more time on your skills then get proper jobs instead of some underpaid bullshit where you get treated like dirt.
>>2303222
Looking at this makes me feel physically ill.
>>2303242
this is my latest painting, i'd like to study more, but i have to get some money, gotta pay college.
desu i've been thinking about quitting, but this is my chance to make a game and put out some neat 3D characters
and here is a painting i did that i really liked
>>2303254
Get a more secure job.
You can't make a lot of money with art yet. This is a fact.
>>2303257
That's leagues better than the total eyesore garbage you're producing for your client.
>>2303260
>>2303261
>>2303257
ok, thanks for the feedback, but i have to follow the projects identity, its photobashing, 13 dollars worth of photobashing
>>2303192
paying that low price and demanding massive changes so far into the painting is completely unethical.
Even if you're willing to do those low prices you should have set some rules on what kind of changes are acceptable, if any. True be told I'd expect 13 dollars to be "I'm throwing you shit and not changing anything" range.
If you can afford to drop it please consider dropping that client instantly. Only keep at it if you rely on this to eat.
>>2303264
Protip: If a client is only willing to pay a tiny amount it means they don't respect or value you, and you will be treated as such. $13 is laughably low. Unless these take you 30 minutes to do and require no changes then you shouldn't have accepted the job.
>>2303264
If you consider what they're offering below your skill level, either ask for more or decline. Don't waste your time and theirs on that sort of trash, it just makes you look bad.
>>2303192
what even was the commision about? whats the task?
