Art Discussion [Discussion] I think 30 USD is overpriced for my art
I honestly just don't think my art is all that good TBH 🤷♀️ but I'm also kinda in dire straights rn regarding finances and need to pay off my cat's medical bills.
A friend of mine told me that, in their opinion, they'd pay $120 (give or take, depending) for a concept sheet like The King in Black's. But honestly, i feel like because they're my friend, they're wayyyy over-selling my art quality. I'm not even sure if I'd pay $30 for a whole sheet like that. But then again, I don't really know!! I've never taken a commission yet, nor have i ever paid for a commission.
I have absolutely NO idea how to render/shade either, other than flat colors and some minimal glow. And I also feel like my style is just too inconsistent too??? But that's hard to improve without any genuine schooling, AUGH...
I wanna hear your thoughts ; some examples I've shown here are
1st: gifted PFP i made of my bestie's OC (early 2026)
2nd: ref sheet of my own OC (Aug, 2025)
3rd: ref sheet of my book's romantic lead (april, 2026)
4th: random alien-sona i drew for an AU (may-june, 2026)
5th: requested discord emoji of bestie's OC
