Please help! I'm in need of some assistance finding out some pricing for my artwork that I plan to be opening up for commissions. Below are various pieces I've did, and I would like pricings (either PD or Nuggets) for them. Anything helps, thank you!


(ps, I'm much more fluent in drawing cats than I am humans. Very sorry for the sloppy photo pasting, It's been a long while since I've used proper BBCode.)

This looks really good! If you're looking to do commissions I'd suggest first starting it at a low price (10k to 20k PD maybe?) To gain attention, then add to the price over time! I could easily see this eventually going for 75k to 100k PD, maybe more.

That's my advice. I've seen other new-ish(or returning) PH artists do it.

I think a starting point of 30k-50k might be fair for my level of art, though i could be setting the bar a bit too high... Hmm....

I'd say 50k pd is easily a good minimum, imo, and you could definitely push it higher if you wanted to at any point.

Like i personally would happily pay more than 50k for your art, personally, but that's just me XD

Update: I think I've settled some prices. Do you think this looks ok?:

Simple Sketch [MS PAINT] - (HEAD/BUST - 10K) (FULL - 15K)
Simple Sketch [KRITA] - (HEAD/BUST - 15K) (FULL - 20K)

Simple Sketch Colored [MS PAINT] - (HEAD/BUST - 20k) (FULL - 25K)
Simple Sketch Colored [KRITA] - (HEAD/BUST - 30K) (FULL - 35K)

Lineart [MS PAINT] - (HEAD/BUST - 40K) (FULL - 50K)
Lineart [KRITA] - (HEAD/BUST - 50K) (FULL - 60K)

Colored Lineart [MS PAINT] - (HEAD/BUST - 50K) (FULL - 60K)
Colored Lineart [KRITA] - (HEAD/BUST - 80K) (FULL - 100K)

+ Simple Shading - 10k
+ Complex Shading - 20k

Icon [MS PAINT] - 10k
Icon [KRITA] - 15k

Colored backgrounds are free, but as of right now, no complex backgrounds, please!

Why the MS paint/Krita difference? MS Paint takes less time for me, while Krita takes longer, but comes out better.

Please give your opinions!

It would be better if you told which is which?
With examples.

Likw which example comes in which category

And to main part
Can I commission you right now?
I’ll probably be paying more then what you asked if that’s not a problem

I think the prices are perfectly fine! They all seem alright, not too high or too low.

We're truth seekers and artists, perched on the boundary as we search for an answer.

As of right now I'm still setting up shop, and as of art-relating, I may not have an example for every single one, but I can try to see what I can do.

Examples (of what I have right now):

simple sketch fullbody (with some simple shading) [ms paint]
Show hidden content


sketch fullbody [krita]
Show hidden content


lineart colored headshot [ms paint]
Show hidden content


lineart colored fullbody (complex shading) [krita]
Show hidden content


lineart colored fullbody (+ headshots) [ms paint]
Show hidden content


icon [krita]
Show hidden content



as I do more commissions, I will be able to show more artwork. I hope this helps!

I’d love to buy art from you whenever you are willing to open the shop. Shoot me a message whenever you done setting up shop?
