[b]THE PRICING HELP (PLEASE)[/b] [indent]Me and my friends are trying to open a multi-artist shop, but I have no clue how I should price my art! I have an idea of how to price my art in USD since I've done RLC before, and I thought it'd just be $0.01 = 1 gem = 400t (whatever the current exchange rate is..?), but when I look around the forums I see that people are charging quite less than what I would expect them to based on that formula. I've knocked down my prices by quite a bit, but I'm still worried that I might be overcharging by to FR standards... but at the same time I don't want to undercharge too much, ya feel? My solution so far has been limiting my FR slots so I don't make it unfair to my RLC customers and also limiting what I'm offering until I can figure things out, but I'd really like to figure things out alskjdaksf Anyway, sorry for the huge ramble! TL;DR big nub would appreciate pricing suggestions (or pricing method suggestions)! Thank you!

I'm sorry if i'm slow; doing these in between homework. I'm also sorry if I don't end up drawing everyone! I wish I could, but I'm just going to stick to drawing a few. Alternatively, if I run out of time to do these I can whip up some silly doodles if you're into that. You don't have to give me pricing suggestions to get free art![/indent]

@REALPIGEON

I'm not sure about chibi pricing, but for busts, you probably shouldn't charge below 250-300k. Not sure about the maximum, but you have a lovely style, and I imagine people wouldn't mind paying more than 300k for a bust pic.

Gonna throw a few characters at'cha to see if any catch your eye. n_n

Naleya, Thaleia, Aion

@Fictionalistic Thank you so much for the feedback!!! I feel like both chibis and busts were pretty hard for me to price on FR, but busts especially, so this definitely helps a whole lot!

All your characters are super cute omg the second one is a babe

@Cash IT'S YOU AGAIN MONEY
HMM I see! That's something I haven't really thought about before (the whole bust-chibi-same-price thing). Thank you for your feedback!
