How much would you pay for this?

 

My current prices are:

Bust, No Shading: 100k

Bust, Shading: 200k

Full Body, No Shading: 300k

Full Body, Shading: 400k

Bust, Coloured: 250k

Full Body, Coloured: 350k

 

 

Should I lower/raise them?

I also need opinions of the actual art.

 

Thanks <3

For that, I would pay 100k or under. Because it is not colored, digital or scanned I would take value off it.

I didn't know the value would go down if it wasn;t scanned. I hardly ever scan any of my commissions and I still get payed over 500k for them.

"Because it is not colored, digital or scanned I would take value off it."

Suddenly traditional is hardly worth anything? less than 100k is pretty cheap, if you ask me.

 

It's good art. I think your prices where they are are fine.

Personally I think you are undervaluing your work a great deal! For that example, I would pay 500K or more. Caricatures are awesome <3 The amount of time that you would have to put into it would be worth so much more than 100K.

Thanks murgy and 14bm <3

 

This example was never mean't to be perfect. When I set up the thread, I felt that people would like an example before they bought art, which is why I did a quick sketch of myself.

 

I don;t believe traditional art prices should be based on whether it's scanned or not, because frankly, some people don't have scanners .-. Or at least, scanners that work and won;t give your computer viruses.

Traditional art is on paper, so if we took away the paper colour..it wouldn't really be traditional anymore.

I'm thinking of changing the prices to:

 

Bust, No Shading: 100k

Bust, Shading: 150k

Full Body, No Shading: 200k

Full Body, Shading: 250k

Bust, Coloured: 300k

Full Body, Coloured: 350k

 

And I'll probably add a Pet selection for those who can't pay in TU

Anatomically, this image does not make sense xD

 

 

So, I sort of drew some like skeletal sort of guideline things. You can see from the anchor points (in orange) that the right arm is not joined to the torso properly, and the neck is in the wrong place. Necks aren't normally through the centre of your head and completle straight

It's supposed to be like that. Caricatures have tiny necks and weird body parts.

300k Should be your limit. I agree, if they were scanned they would sell for more.

Timber, no it's not. Even though a lot of features on caricatures are exaggerated, they are not placed differently in terms of how these parts are connected; necks, legs, arms and backs are connected to each other. As a caricature artist, you should know about human anatomy and use that knowledge to exaggerate parts like the head without making it look awkward.

It's not the size that bothers me, it's the way you join and position your parts.
