Hello, I was thinking about getting a "High quality traditional colored [with background] [A4]" commission but I was wondering if I could do a payment plan of sorts. Is there a way that I could pay in installments?

Hello there! >v<
I've been following your artwork for a while now, and I must say you're one of my favorite artists! ♥
Your artworks include so much detail and composition, I'm still surprised you can find different concepts or themes on each drawing you do! And even if you draw something out of your comfort zone, you still manage to make it look perfect! <3
You're really skilled at so many things-- anatomy, perspective, backgrounds, lining, shading, even the expressions you give to the characters! ♥
I can see that you've practised for a very long time, but it was worth the effort since you create wonderful artworks~
I've honestly never seen any part of your drawing that I would critique negatively, because everything looks just so matching with each other, and turns the entire drawing into a gorgeous piece ♥
And most important, you can show all your talent and practise in both digital & traditional, with keeping your own style! <3
I've seen people calling them "expensive".
But art is not a need. It is a desire. Nobody is forced to buy a commission, nor in need of it.
It is rude to call someone's commissions expensive.
Just because you can't afford it doesn't mean it is priced unfairly.
I honestly don't think your commissions are expensive. No, not at all.
Maybe you used to sell them cheaper in the past, but even if people don't notice, there are still things they improve on in time.
Raising the prices according to the effort & time you put on them are fair.
Right now, I'm in a tight budget as well.
But one day I definitely want to commission you for sure ♥
I love your artworks and I would love to have one~
I'm sorry for the long text, I hope you have a nice day! <3

Aww, I'm glad if you agree with my wall of text! >v< ♥
I've seen so many complaining about the prices of commissions, not only on Emperpep's ;w;
My friend used to receive similar negative comments too, and they made her really demotivated and sad >.<
Because they make people think "my work is not worth it" ;w;

Pricing is a dangerous factor to take into consideration how much some art is worth. Take for example Picasso or Van Gogh, whose art were highly appraised - but long after they have been declared worthless at first. The good thing is, and that you can probably tell your friend from me, the worth of art is equal to the worth of symbols. It gets the worth and value people giving it. And even if the art makes just a single person happy, would it not be equal to priceless for that very person? How much is it worth to make someone happy? How much is it worth to make someone cry? Art is nothing but emotions made materia - regardless if its on board, as sculptur, as song or whatsoever. Feel free - that is art.

I'm sorry for the super late reply, but that's super well said!
Right not it's mostly priced according to the hours spent on it for most artists. For example, let's say one hour is 7$. If one chibi commission takes about 3 hours, it would roughly be around 20$. Which is a pretty fair price if you ask me. Of course, there are even cheaper or more expensive ones as well, depending on the style and the detail put into it. There are also other factors like which media they use (copics, for example, isn't very cheap). So if an artist decides to price their commissions higher, then I think their decision should be respected. Commenting negative stuff about it won't bring anything positive.

Hey dear,
I think what you meant to say was that you can't afford a commission here and not that the prices are too much. That's a huge difference.
Firstly, to be fair, emperpep's art is very detailed and complex even the cheaper commission-types.
There are artists out there that charge MUCH more (could go even over the 100 000s depending on the commission type and how big of a project it is for example concept art for Hollywood Movie Productions), especially if they reach celebrity status and get commissioned by celebrities, designers, magazines or other high profile people/companies that have the cash and a passionate interest in the artist's style.
Just because a fellow Hobby Artist can't afford certain prices, doesn't mean the artist charges too much. Quite the opposite, I am proud of every artist that knows his or her worth and still offers humane prices.
I do use watercolor and can tell that it takes a great amount of time to hone your skills, then draw, then line, then color traditionally. It can take up to weeks to finish a painting/drawing so in emperpep's case, I'd charge even more (since the drawing materials that are used by emp are also high quality btw).

I understand that, however, how am I supposed to know your recent stance about it when this is all I see under this journal?
I am sorry if any more about this topic makes you feel uncomfortable. I would delete it for you if I could.
Buuut, I am glad that more people start understanding the importance about not selling your art under worth.

Do you do pictures without backgrounds? If so would be it be cheaper than one with a complex one?

emperpep In reply to Tankotron [2015-07-30 02:27:34 +0000 UTC]
I usually asked for 200 instead of 300 for backgroundless commission, btw I'm still willing to give some decorations [for better composition] instead of leaving it blank.

I am building a game and need some simple animated characters without background. I would like to know the price range for just the character and if you wouldn't mind having your art in my game? Also you will be featured in my game for any of your art of yours.

I am not being rude about their art, it's beautiful.
I'm just stating I do not have the money to buy a commission.

Dude, calm down. All he/she said was that it was expensive, can't someone have an opinion?
