Artist: Hey guys i need money! Commissions are open!
me:

Artist: Lineart:: $40, Fullbody: $60, Colored: $120
Me:

Look man either pay them or learn art yourself to feed your fat fetish.
bitch 40 for lineart should be the standard, art is a damn luxury and some of these artists need food
@ whatever greyshades is these days, Like I said, they’re kids who don’t know how to haggle.
>Lineart - 2 hours for pencils, 1-2 hours for lines = 3 hours at $40
>$40/3(aprox) = $13/hr - paypal fees and bank transfer fees = 10/hr
>Colour - 2 hours for pencils, 1- 2 hours for lines, 3-6 hours for colour = aprox 9 hours at $120
>$120/9 = 13/hr - paypal fees and bank transfer fees = 10/hr

Art is an extremely specialised skillset that takes anywhere from 5-20 years to develop, costs around 500 minimum entry to be able to create digital art due to requiring a tablet and software, along with enough RAM to run high-layer drawings depending on your program. Thinking you have any reason or right to haggle with someone because you don’t like their prices is some entitled shit my friend. You don’t walk into an autoshop and try to barter with them for their hourly wage and their parts cost, why the fuck would you do it in something else? It’s capitalism, if you don’t like it, don’t buy it but don’t think you have a right to special treatment.
I guarantee you we’d charge hourly if that was a possible standard but because the industry has no standards peope have to charge what will sell and that is ultimately much lower than it really should. Especially considering most of us have standards against drawing furry mpreg vore.
People don’t realize just how cheap commissioned art online actually is. Most of the time you pay the artists minimum wage.
Just think about that for a second.
Where I live, that’s LESS than minimum wage
I know artists who have made it in the comic or otherwise commercial art industry, and they comfortably charge hundreds for their time, talent and name on commissions.That’s the MINIMUM. We’re talking people who can make several hundred dollars per PAGE of narrative.
Get your heads out of your asses and start supporting online freelancers and their dirt cheap pricing—it’s your fault they’re all valued so low to begin with.

a few days ago i was walkin past a basketball court and a ball Flew at me and i
1) didn’t flinch
2) caught the ball
3) threw it back at the guy
4) responded to his “thanks bro” with a nod
it was like the ghost of some guy named chad took over me so i didn’t like embarrass myself
a bro talked to me today and it caught me v off guard but instead of my voice rising an octave it dropped an octave and i suddenly was effortlessly speaking Bro™ back to him. this resulted in a very positive interaction
thanks, chad
Reblog to be possessed by Good Ghost Chad in your hour of need
Holy feck
i hate that mobile doesn’t show capital letters in the tags so i don’t even know if people in tags under my art are saying aaaaa or

What an aesthetically pleasing meme.
I think this is it. My aesthetic. The sea, a beautiful sky, and a pun.
Apollo has three backstories and none of them explain why he became an attorney.
This was a random animation exercise using the audio I mixed together, I also used it as a test if I could actually do clean lineart in ToonBoom, I can, but I won’t ever again. I do plan to make an actual full animatic of this audio eventually.
