What’s the highest price you would pay for a commission?
I have, happily, paid several hundred dollars for an artist’s sketch, including driving hours to get to the place where we could meet, and hope to happily do that again in the future (although that was not in this fandom).
So, imagine a simple drawing of one of your OCs. Fully shaded, a simple background, and real cute.
Depends on who it was by. If it was by an artist that I wanted to support, or by an artist who was seminal to my interest in the fandom, then I would probably only be limited by whatever was in my pocket or my ‘spendy monies’ piggy bank. I recently paid $250 for a drawing similar to that at a convention, but it wasn’t my OC.
However, I know that artists ask as little as $5 and often more like $120 for a drawing, depending on the artist, and as
@Joey mentioned, $90 is more of a high water mark for me. The more expensive images I’ve gotten were “This is it for the year” style purchases, where on the other hand I might do a handful of $45 images from a bunch of artists at the same time.
