Feed a Starving Artist

[kingandy]

What with one thing and another, I remain unemployed.  Somehow I am not yet run out of money, but this cannot continue indefinitely.  With this in mind I am opening myself to commissions.

Easily available if anyone is interested are high-resolution (mostly 300dpi) prints of any of the pictures in the online gallery.  I'm going to investigate pricing at the local print houses, but I can't see this costing much more than five english pounds.

Also available are specifically commissioned pieces.  Here I am much less certain as to what to charge.  I am currently considering the following formulae:

Random Encounters style SD caricature - £10 base, +£5 for each additional character
Full proportioned comic-book style - £25 base, +£10 each additional character
Portrait/headshot - I don't know what the hell £20
More complex pieces - £negotiable

So if anybody's interested, or has ideas/suggestions, do let me know.

All prices are exclusive of postage and packaging.  The management accepts that these prices may or may not match up with those quoted in the past.  Live with it.

Sounds cool when I'm not starving, ( maybe if I get the job today ) I'll buy one of your master pieces. Prices sound fine cheaper than my friend who is also an artist but does different work to you charges. Probably why she charges more because her work is different!

Prices are open to later revision ... get 'em while they're cheap!

I'll have a word with my good mate Joe who is trying to start a printing/publishing business. See if he has any suggestions/pricing guides/special rates or whatever.

or maybe you could spend your time actually getting a job? and then do this in ADDITION to, cos at those rates your barely going to fund your warcraft habit

The plan is not, in fact, to spend any less time jobseeking. The basic principle here is that some money is better than no money.
