[center]So I decided to draw one of my dragons, Hecate! I have never drawn a dragon before so it was an interesting task, but overall, I am happy with the results! It took me around 2 hours to complete, but to be fair, It took me a while to get the head shape right.

How much should I charge? I guess I would need to set up an art shop, but as I am not very familiar with forums in general - I would need help with that as well :0 [/center] [center]Anyways, I hope you like this piece, as my first ever dragon drawing, I am pretty proud of it![/center]

Ohhh that is gorgeous :'0 You can definitely make stonks, even with just headshots. I’d def buy but they’re 100% out of my range dkcjskxka Just note that 100G:1$ and I’d recommend 750G minimum for a rendered headshot like shown.

@SpiritX

Thank you so much! Wow, 750G for a headshot? That feels very generous :D

If you would like to, I could draw one for you! Free of charge! I need to build a "dragon portfolio so I could draw one of your dragons :D

[center]@Glitchibo I was actually thinking 750G due to the attention to detail and rendering! The price goes up with quality. I’ve def seen much more expensive for simpler styles off flightrising but in USD 0-0 But if you want to start building up your shop, you could play around at 500G and up to see how that goes? Ajdjskxka thank you so much for the kind offer ;v; I’d appreciate for any of these children <3 [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/58557362][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/585574/58557362_350.png[/img][/url] [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/59040983][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/590410/59040983_350.png[/img][/url] [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/61312615][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/613127/61312615_350.png[/img][/url] (No need for all apparel, you could just do a hood or whatever you’re feeling ^^)[/center]

@Glitchibo

That's gorgeous, especially for a first dragon! You could easily sell yourself as having drawn them before. Like @/SpiritX said, the attention to detail is wonderful. I agree with starting at a lower / moderate cost like 500g for the first bit of time your shop is open, just to garner interest and get a consistent customer base, then raise prices over time, particularly for larger and more detailed commissions.

oh, this is lovely! the rendering is really nice, i love how you've textured the scales.

you should probably have a few more examples before starting up a shop, but i'd say you could price these at at least 2kg, with maybe an extra cost for lots of apparel if you find it tricky. keeping in mind minimum wage can be a useful pricing guide - it might seem like a lot, but if this took you 2 hours then it works out to 1kg or $10 per hour, which really isn't that much! i'd definitely counsel against going as low as 500G - with prices that low you're liable to get loads of orders and burn yourself out.

e: for general advice on setting up and running a shop, Spooner has a wonderful advice thread here! i'd highly recommend hitting them up, they really know their stuff

@corvidus

Thank you for advice! It's scary to start with bigger prices, but I do not want to undervalue myself either.

Oh and I will have to look into Spooner's thread! Thank you so much!

[font=optima]Your art style is so fresh and vibrant, I’m absolutely loving it!! :’D I would say to charge 800-1kg based on genes for a headshot and even more for complex apparel! The way you have the shine of the runes reflecting in the eye...stunning!! [emoji=familiar heart size=1] Edit: I would love to be affiliates with you once you open if you’re interested! :3c

@Glitchibo

The rendering of your art is really wonderful! I would agree with the 750-1kg range for a headshot, and you can increase the price for apparel and accents/skins. Whenever you open your shop I would love a ping :)

Thank you for the praise!

What would you mean exactly by "affiliates"? Sorry if this is a stupid question - english is my second language and I am not very familiar with forum art shops :0
