I'm assuming most of you have asked far too little from commissions (like me) for lack of confidence.
Post finished work and what you charged, or advice for artists aspiring to sell their services.
$15-20, don't be like me.
ive yet to do commission work
hope to be ready by years end
not enough
$20-30 for a character
$60-100 for illustrations
but i am very mediocre. i've been studying hard since the year started tho, and I'll be uping my prices soon
How do you get into commission work?
>How many followers do you need?
>Do you just put a "Commissions open!" sign on your page and wait?
>If I decide to draw porn. How do I get around it?
I would really appreciate if anyone would help me on this
I've had an online presence for only two weeks and I really need some work. I just had a piece of stale bread with some ketchup for dinner.
>>2400611
I think it might actually be a good idea to start low to build up the demand for yourself. Once you've got more requests than you are able to handle, close commissions and take care of your queue. Once you open up again, increase it a little.
>>2402427
to get steady commissions, I'm gonna estimate you need around 6000-8000+ followers, and even then i don't know. "brand loyalty" is also a thing, and the less you choose to interact and ass kiss your followers, the less they will give a shit about your commissions being open
putting up a commissions sign is only enough if you're like 10-20,000+ followers strong or something, you have to constantly advertise and look for jobs
if you want to start doing porn, i recommend starting separate accounts for it, because you WILL lose followers on a main account. you'll also have to start investing a lot of your drawing time into it, at least 50%. it's not as easy as it sounds if you're not passionate about it, and if you force it, it's gonna show
for reference, I have about 3000 dA watchers and 2300 tumblr followers. I make anywhere between $100-400 a month when i start advertising commissions, and it's not steady or reliable at all.
moral is, a high follow count is good, but you also need to consider active watchers. from my experience, only about 20-30% of watchers are actually active, as in they like / favorite / reblog / comment regularly over long periods. most accounts will either be spam, lurkers, or unactive, either because they stop visiting the site after a while or only log in every few months or so
hope that helps
>>2402427
How do you even get followers
>>2402449
>for reference, I have about 3000 dA watchers and 2300 tumblr followers. I make anywhere between $100-400 a month when i start advertising commissions, and it's not steady or reliable at all.
Fuck drawing then, the worst kind of business when you have to get mad skills just to get basic money.
>>2402452
to be fair, i'm really mediocre, i don't draw porn (nudity rarely), and i do western cartooning on sites that are hungry for bargain bin anime garbage (dA and tumblr, but mostly dA). a lot of my follows probably came from fan art, I happen to have a couple of fan art comics with like 20,000+ notes and stuff
>>2402452
if you want money, furries have the highest turn over in terms of like, ratio of how much money you can make steadily vs follower count
it all has to do with the abundance of personal characters (aka fursonas) and how that changes the dynamic from "ooh, i like the way this person drew X character, i'm gonna follow their work to see more of what they draw" to "ooh, i like the way they drew this character, i want them to draw my character like that"
tho i wouldn't suggest this route unless you earnestly enjoy animal people to at least some extent cause it'll be just like in porn where if your hearts not really there it will show
>>2402456
But I dont want to draw furry porn. Hell, I dont want to draw porn at all, maybe occasionally. I cant stand it that you learn something for few years, and its not simple, there are highs and downs of it and all you get is few hundreds
>>2402459
doesn't gotta be porn, you only gotta do furry porn if that's the only unique/interesting part about your work that can hook people in
furries REALLY like distinct art styles, if you can bring something fresh that's still relative quality they'll flock to you. but if you don't like animal people in the slightest then avoid it like i said earlier
>>2402456
>furries
couldn't I keep my dignity and do scat porn instead
>>2402481
where do i find a fanbase for that
>>2402449
blog link?
>>2400611
I didnt' want to do commissions, so I overcharged like fuck to make people stop asking. When they were willing to pay anyway, I decided I do like commissions.
Would generally charge about $200 for lineart.
>>2402481
you'd make more money doing furry scat porn
I'm not very good so I try not to overcharge. I appeal to a niche fetish which is what brings in pretty much all of my business. Pic related was about $60.
I usually make $300-400 a month, so not sustainable income really.
>>2402526
CUTE
blog?
>>2402526
>>2402449
I'm incredibly interested. I could live with $10 minimum a month, if I made your numbers I would be able to feed myself and my family with ease
I quit my job 2 days ago because I was earning $7-8 a month in my full time job and I really need to get out there.
I asked this on the /v/ drawthread a couple days ago and they gave me pretty good advice.
Just so you know I would never commission any of you, never ever.
>>2402959
> 1 singular anon won't commission any of us ever
oh my god the burden
>>2402951
WHERE THE FUCK DO YOU LIVE?
>>2402974
Venezuela
>>2402975
dam, maybe i should move to a garbage country and live on $100 a month from commission, here in US a livable wage is like $800 at the very lowest
>>2402967
That's right, never.
>>2402980
but then you wouldn't find food to eat or shit like toilet paper and then you'd get mugged on your way home.
It's not worth it anon
>>2402984
that's fair, though i've always had aspirations of building a small farm / garden and buying a hunting knife for safety. not sure how i'd fix the toilet paper thing tho
>>2402941
bunnyblueart on tumblr. TW: furries
>>2402951
If you're comfortable doing lewds, that's where the money's at. There are a lot of fetishes with a severe lack of quality art, so you could try finding one of those. If you also have the fetish then it's a win/win. DESU stuff like tickling, foot fetishism, and size difference doesn't even have to be lewd.
>>2404023
I have a thing for licking
Should I start drawing stuff about licking and let people with the same taste gather around me?
>>2402951
>I could live with $10 minimum a month, if I made your numbers I would be able to feed myself and my family with ease
What the fuck? Sure you ain't missing some zeros there? I blow ~$10 a day just on travel expenses.
>>2404046
The currency in my country had gone to shit senpai
That's why I quit my job two days ago and I'm working like never before to get at least 1 commission a month. Problem is I don't have the slightest idea what to do.
>>2402427
Reguardless of follower count, your friends are going to be the ones who commission you 90% of the time (if you're doing generic work).
Commission porn on furaffinity and hentai foundry and make sure you charge more than your sfw commissions
>>2402452
>high skill = cash
that's cute anon. adorable even
>>2402486
Same place you find furries
>>2402508
post some of your work please?
not because I don't think your art is worth it or not. I just want to run some of your confidence in me sempai
>>2402508
Blog pls?
I want to rub your confidence on me sempai
>>2404033
It couldn't hurt to whip up some licking stuff and put it out there, see if people are interested. I know I wouldn't be so I can't speak to its popularity though
I made this shitty post about a year ago, it's more about how to make a "taking commissions" post or how to set up a price sheet but it might help someone http://thetenk.tumblr.com/post/118728389771
In general the easy thing to forget about doing commissions is that at the end of the day, your skill is often barely a factor. [People willing to spend money] and [People who like your art specifically] just have to come together, if a shit artist with 100 fans just so happens to have 10 fans with spare cash that like them they can still make decent money, I've seen it happen multiple times.
In general you can assume 1-0.1% of your fanbase are willing to commission you semi-regularly. The numbers some people gave earlier in this thread are excessive, I have 3 different blogs and the most popular one is only close to hitting 7k followers, but I make about $1000 a month. Out of these commissions there are between 5-10 regular commissioners, and of those 3 guys comm me multiple times a month on a very regular basis. On top of that it's maybe 10-20 one-off commissions a month, so I finish 20+ commissioned pieces a month on average.
Well, maybe closer to 40-50 if I count the $5 doodles I offer once a week.
Anyways, 1000+ is normally the point at which most artists can offer commissions and expect customers, sometimes 500+ depending on who exactly the followers are. Having split accounts that link to each other is a good idea in general for people who only like SFW/NSFW to make it easier for them to sample your art properly.
>>2404448
Oh, additionally, networking is possibly the most important thing as an artist doing commissions. If you have artist friends who are also commission artists and/or popular, sharing each others work will accelerate your growth immensely because you might attract the spend-happy fans they have.
>>2404337
What the fuck are you even implying? Is it bad to think that a skilled person gets more money? What's the point?
>>2400611
I don't charge cause I think the work is shit.
So yeah, I'm literally a FREElancer
>>2404448
Holy shit! People pay you to symbol draw?
>>2404033
It's worth a shot, though it's easier to find a preexisting community that's lacking in art. I used to frequent the tickle threads on /d/ (before they imploded permanently due to autismtos) and it was pretty much the same 100 or so pictures every time, by the same 4 or 5 artists, so I knew there was a market.
A lot of the other artists are even worse than I am so I've got a pretty solid hold on a portion of the market since I haven't hidden my stuff behind a paywall.
>>2404479
There is little people don't pay for.
i drew a fully colored/shaded hug pillow of sans from undertale (one-sided) for $40
i'm not posting that shit here bc it's gay as fuck
>>2404451
Calm your ass. I'm saying you can get that cash money just as long as you have followers. Skill has nothing to do with it.
P- please don't make me post examples. They make me incredibly sad
>>2402951
Dude, you could benefit from commissions like crazy if you have even a hair of skill in you! At least if you're willing to do fetish stuff or/and porn.
>>2404052
I recommend you stream all the time whilst you're drawing. Don't give me that 'I'll stream when I'm good' shit, people like to be part of that journey so that they can say they knew of you first.
You don't even have to talk, although a background music is good. People just put on streams in the background when they're in the house so they can see something progressing on the screen every time they look up. If you stream regularly, you might gain the loyal kinds of fans that followings need. Set up a tip jar paypal donate button.
Spend this time doing not only drawing exercises but also making fanart whenever possible, and positing the fan art to tumblr and instagram for maximum exposure.
>>2404975
Thanks anon
I'm already drawing fan art a lot, when I practice I tend to use characters I like and I post all of it online. I was thinking about streaming but my upload speed is absolute trash.
Thanks for the advice.
>>2404992
Hold on a second
I did some research and it seems I can stream with my current speed and toaster at low resolutions. Is picarto the place to do this? I want to give it a try
>>2404489
That sounds amazing. I spent some time thinking about fetishes I like and came up with a few of them I found underrepresented.
This was my first commission I did last week and I charged 30 bucks for it.
I did it in color and fully nude too, but he said that he didn't want those versions to be public.
>>2405275

picarto's a good place for streaming, it's got a social userbase that hasn't developed a cancer skeleton like twitch has.
>>2405524
I gave it a try a few hours ago and as I expected my computer is not good enough for that
I'm grateful for all the advice you've given me /ic/.
>>2405275
How do you ink your lineart?
>>2404581
But I don't want to make porn or anything like that. I just wanted to get really good and it breaks my heart to hear that I can't get shit for it.
>>2405553
I'm working hard so this doesn't happen senpai
I'll even draw shitting dick nipples if worst comes to worst
>>2400611
When i was in high school i would do portraits for people for about $8-$13. They're not good but apparently people liked them enough to buy.
I think i made about 22 in total.
>>2405567
The first one i did was for my friend for a secret santa gift. And people saw it and wanted one for themselves and it just took off i guess.
>>2405567
people are often willing to spend $10 on dumb shit, the more a commission costs the more careful you are about what you ask for.
>>2405537
you wanna make money, it's either gonna be fandom, porn, or you're hella good and still affordable
>>2405610
How can I sell my art if I am, lets say, Dave Rapoza? Fanarts are obvious, but what else?
>>2405610
Or be e-famous for another reason. There's a few fashion bloggers etc that draw on the side, and because of their efame in the community fans will commissions potraits from them for their own social media so they can gain the efame points of saying "that person drew me".
Not that /ic/ probably holds many efamous gamer video makers or fashionistas
I used to charge really low because I just wasn't getting any commissions and I might as well still be producing things to gain attention.
I live in a country where 1 USD is pretty much worthless, but I was doing sketch commissions for 7 dollars and taking three or more hours on them. I struck it sort of lucky and someone commissioned a massive batch from me, and after completing three I had a huge tech failure and lost the work before I could send it to them. During this tech black-out I realised I just don't have time to charge so low and I'd rather spend my free time drawing what I like than making pennies.
Now I'm really badly putting off drawing because I don't feel I should do anything until I re-do those commissions for that nice guy, but damn I don't want to re-do them at all.
This was my blog thanks for reading.
>>2405686
>I re-do those commissions for that nice guy, but damn I don't want to re-do them at all.
which is way I am planning to get an external hard disk, maybe even get a raid going on as soon as I get money
nice blog btw
>>2405686
Yeah you gotta charge so it's worth the time
>>2404975
>I recommend you stream
Anon I made it!
I got my first commission within the first hour of my stream on Picarto. I made 10 bucks off a sketch I can't believe it.
Thanks to all the people who replied to me I'm incredibly grateful. I'm going to keep practicing so I can get more work.
>>2407187
Do you have a blog? I'd love to keep up with your progress!
>>2407272
Here it is. most of the content is from drawthreads though
http://mothes.tumblr.com/
Is it true that adult people can't draw cute until they master drawing? I see a lot average artists who draw cute and get tons commissions. Picrelated for example is not what you call great anatomy knowledge, but it look cute, simple and people like it. If I try to draw something like this I will spend all day refining anatomy and rendering. I just...can't draw without thinking of gesture, construction, muscles, fat, Vilppu-sma. Muh inner critic not allowing me to ignoring errors and draw soo simple. Is it really skill only available for young people who draw since childhood?
>>2407292
It's better drawn than you think. There is a tendency among alot of people to underestimate the skill it takes to draw animu
>>2407292
You are stuck in the construction phase. You never get to the expression phase. You do construction as its own end.
OTOH, the image you posted looks just boring. There is way better stuff than this uninspiring drawing.
>>2407187
Yesss I'm so pleased right now, I can't believe I actually helped someone!
Well done, now we are rivals, enjoy using your weak currency to your advantage and destroying me as your competition.
When I was at college, a fellow student commissioned a portrait from me. She didn't want a portrait of her--she only told me to paint the kind of thing I usually paint, so after a few weeks, I just gave her a painting I'd done that I had lying around for $100.00.
A few weeks later, the school had a student art sale that she was involved in organizing, and she persuaded me to show up to do commissioned sketches of customers. So I spent the day doing charcoal sketches, around two minutes each, of customers for $10.00.
Pic related--that's not one of the ones I sold that day, because I don't still have any of those. But that's a charcoal sketch from a live model, so it's about right, though it took a bit longer than two minutes.
Here's a funny story: About a year prior to the art sale, I was interviewed by someone from the school newspaper. He asked me if I'd ever sold any of my work; I told him, "yeah, when I was twelve I sold a picture of a dragon for $0.50."
He said, "well, you gotta start somewhere."
I am relatively mediocre but I charge around $150-200 for a piece.
>>2400611
sold a commissioned painting for 400 yesterday, 2 foot by 3 foot. price was probably way too low, but it was for someone I knew
The first painting I sold was for £400, the second £100, the third the gallery took a cut so like £45.
It's been about two years and I haven't sold another painting, and sometimes I take sketch commissions for like £3. I've been rejected from every minimum wage retail job I've applied for this year.
It was all going so well....
>>2400611
are you sure you're popular enough to be pricing that high, OP? :^)
>>2407723
>>2407756
Okay, I'm mad.
>>2407759
But he is right you know.
>>2407756
interested in seeing the art of the person that guy is talking to.
>>2407756
my jimmies are so fucking rustled
i need to get up and take a walk holy shit
>>2407756
This is what type of person you create when you do commissions for less than minimum wage. Entitled shit lords who think artists are basically 3rd world slaves.
>>2407847
Yeah? It's really easy to get back at them.....don't do the work.
It's not like these are people who would have payed you $400 if other people didn't charge so little. There were never going to pay well. In a perfect world where art slave wages don't exist these sorts of people just wouldn't be commissioning art so just ignore them.
Anons need to keep practicing until they can get better clients to hire them. If you attract this sort of person it's because you have pleb Deviantart level work and don't promote yourself enough on other sites.
>>2407756
furry commissions, not even once

oh yes ive been wanting more stuff like this

>>2400611
Detailed busts or less detailed full body characters for $100 - $150
I usually end up getting more /gd/ related commissions, but I would actually recommend getting a copy of The Graphic Artist's Guild's Handbook of Pricing and Ethical Guidelines, as they do have some price guidelines on illustration and animation.
The head of my university's design department also commented that the prices in that book are based on NYC prices. Depending on the client, you may need to yank your commission prices down to your area's living wages, and I use this site for that. http://livingwage.mit.edu/
Basically, figure out the ratio of living wages for your situation between between your city and NYC...and then take that as a percentage, and calculate how much you should charge from there.
In general, I charge about $100-$200 for a logo alone...but I live in an area where the living wage is only 70% of NYC, so that's fine.
Also, I try to stay in the $10.50/hour (or higher) range.
I've applied this to non /gd/ stuff I've done, too.
>>2407914
Every time you do art for cheap it devalues everyone's artwork
I don't pander to these people, but I've seen actual good artists charge similar low tier prices. If an art director ha s a budget of 400$ and sees you charging 60$ an illustration what makes you think there not gonna try and get you cheap as possible?
>>2408208
Art directors usually have higher budgets than that, but your general point is right...
>>2402451
fanart is the fastest and easiest way, other than that its mostly luck
>>2405654
Build a fandom of your own. Do speed-drawing videos, drawing tutorial style videos, stream if possible... It will be a slow slow build if you don't cater to other fandoms at all though.
>>2402451

OP here
this is incredibly helpful, thank you
The drawthreads on /a/ apparently have some high rollers.
Someone got a $4k USD commission from there. Granted he has to draw over 100+ characters.
how does one know they are at a level to commission?
>>2409862
holy shit
well on them
>>2409862
Like how much more than 100 characters? At a flat 100 characters for $4000 that's $40 a character and that's nothing spectacular. While it's good to have work let's not pretend this guy won the lottery
>>2402526
7 shrunk girls for 300 something bucks
>>2409437
Maybe it's luwak coffee
$40
Thoughts?
>>2409893
i'd want my money back
>>2409878
No clue, but the point isn't that he won the lottery or anything. Just that people there seem to have money to spend.
130 plus nekkid version
i wonder if this is why they keep saying not to do anime... as for work, outside of japanese/taiwanese/singaporean/some korean artists i've never heard of any that did not get what is basically fantasy flight/deviantart levels of bullshit in terms of pay (this includes small games companies that are probably doing mobile game assets, or shitty tcgs).
i never hear of any that get something like 5k USD and up for mid tier scifi/fantasy book covers (which is basically a 3 or so week project). WoTC minimum card art price is or at least was like 500 USD (obv someone like min yum would probably get way more) and that's already higher than basically 98% of all asian companies that do card art stuff that are in anime style. if you listen to a lot of interviews you would know scifi/fantasy illustrators can get upwards 4-10k+ USD for marketing art and covers. artists that do concepts and orthos probably get something comparable.
>>2409893
That's great anonymous, could you provide you name and address so I can comission you myself?
>>2409907
Not sure if youd call his style anime but http://helgesonart.tumblr.com/ has a lot of stylized stuff and and certainly makes at least 30k a year. Joe mad did comics in an anime style as well.
Vast majority of illustrators get paid shit pay as well, anyone making over 400$ a piece is in the vast minority,
https://medium.com/@noahbradley/minimum-wage-artists-4f8e00024a4
I think its more the industry you get into rather than what style your art is, comics and illustration is generally gonna pay complete ass.
You wanna get in an industry that has a higher barrier to entry or that requires you to work on location. Concept art , animation , story boarding ect;
Hard to get in but once you do you should be making at least 30k/year.
>>2407756
I have to fucking agree. I don't get how a person can want to see something so bad they'd pay a hundred dollars for a jpg version of it.
>>2410038
>but http://helgesonart.tumblr.com/
>mfw I went to the same class as this guy before
that's definitely not what comes to mind when I think of an "anime" art style though, that's western as hell
still, i've never actually seen any artist do something like what huke, mebae, minato, redjuice, takayamato, etc. do in japan in the west and get paid as well as they do in Japan by actual big companies. those guys get a shit load of gigs down there (shit, redjuice is practically the demonstrator/promoter of celsys stuff all around asia even for example, considering how young he is that is impressive), but if they were to try to do something outside japan, i don't know if they would be able to do as well while retaining their style and portfolios. i mean that style is -still- being stereotyped as something you grow out of by western artists and art directors.
>>2402451
Pandering.
>>2410038
>Hard to get in but once you do you should be making at least 30k/year.
concept art pays well above that. if you actually get studio work, not indie ca.org job section bs gigs.
>>2409907
>i never hear of any that get something like 5k USD and up for mid tier scifi/fantasy book covers (which is basically a 3 or so week project).

Bullshit. Japan paid a lot. There was thread long-long ago about 20 yo chinese artist who bought new aston martin on his birthday
>>2410135
In Japan, not in the west (in the style the poster mentioned) was the point
>>2409907
What about those styles that skew towards realism but are still somewhat vaguely anime influenced?
where can I search for high quality gigs or pro level requests ? people willing to pay and take artists seriously where you won't find free request every 5 minutes ?
>>2411023
nowhere. those kind of jobs are not advertised anywhere. and the people looking to hire for those kinds of jobs don't really search either. they have their go-to guys. you need to work your way up there.
>>2411023
Sign up with a reputable agency?
>>2407723

>>2407963
bumping for caps like these
>>2411328
this guy is nuts
>>2411023
Get a studio job, and freelance from studios you worked for.
Also charge per hour instead of a flat fee. Especially anything concept art related.
>>2402449
I guess I'm doing something great then, I have like 150 followers on Tumblr, I don't have a DA, and I make $400 a month.
>>2402451
you just draw consistently for alot. the more posts you make the more trails lead back to you
if you draw alot and post daily you also might find yourself becoming a better artist
>>2409893
Unless she's fucking Neo from the Matrix, the guy's legs are off
>>2412593
If you charge a flat fee, it should be made based on an hourly fee and adjusted if a piece becomes more complicated (For example, I can do quick character portraits in about an hour fully drawn with simple coloring, which I used to sell on tumblr and FA for $5, so I consider $5/hour my rate for those kinds of drawings, and any addition to it that makes it take longer gets an extra charge (Extra character, more detailed coloring, etc).
It's fine to charge a flat rate so long as you don't let yourself get fucked over.
Let me clarify too: I was in high school when I charged that rate, my art wasn't worth more than $5 at the time, and it was for furries anyway.
>>2400611
Seeing how I'm only limited to paper/pen/ a few colored pencils, and using a iPad to scan/take pics
I'm going to start commissions cheap.
1.50 for simple line work of a character
2$ for pencil shading + pen line work
3$ for coloring
It's ok to start off this cheap right? Or should I raise my price a little smidget so I can afford repairs to my laptop.

Well that was inspiring. But I've just restarted my deviantart and even on my old account I was a literally who. How do I spread my name out there and bring in customers? Furthermore won't high prices for new artists (by popularity not skill) generally drive people out into cheaper ones?
Also how many commissions should I take at a time? Does it depend on the speed/quality vs workload?
And after some reworking here's my new list.
4.00 Pencil
5.00 Ink/pencil shading
8.00 Coloring
Anything else (comics/backgrounds/logos/lewd) will bargain but starting price is 11.00
How's that?
If I'm looking to /hire/ a cartoonist or commission some pieces, where would I find people with example portfolios? Is there a website people use or is it a word of mouth thing?

what kind of fetish?
>>2413389
good for you man. if you build a large body of work targeting a specific fetish and unleash that on the internet under a name you will most likely be able to turn that into a pretty neat 400-600$ per month gig. as long as you keep delivering and pumping out work.

Thanks, I'll look around. Should I go for artists that already draw in the style I'm looking for?
>>2413446
yes!
>>2413389
I think she like you.
Maybe suggesting "a different kind of arrangement" next time?
>>2413398
not that anon but where do you live?
assuming you're a decent but unknown artist you should AT LEAST charge a bit higher than minimum wage
i mean theres no real how-to's on this but i feel every decent and above artist has earned at least that

jesus christ wtf are you doing with your life. study hard and charge three digits minimum you idiot. you are not even remotely within a 20k mile vicinity of the area in which you might possibly consider thinking about charging anything.

Where do you get your commissions from? No one will hire me on craigslist D:
Anyone had any luck doing adopts? witchpaws over on dA gets $500+ for hers, I've seen them even go for $1500. I think I'd prefer adopts over commissions because at least you have control over the design.
I do crappy sketches for $5 at cons that take me a few minutes to complete. In a slow hour where I don't have to deal with customers or have a helper dealing with sales, I can churn out probably 5-6 of them, so it's not a bad return from an hourly POV.
