That’s not important. It’s about your mentality, not the specifics of your work. It doesn’t matter if it’s an animation or a picture, or a car engine.
“when the price goes to the sky it’s not my fault”
Who says it’s your fault? Just understand why it actually goes to the sky and don’t use this when you are judging your work. Don’t ever use this as an excuse to anything – that’s my only issue, you’ve just tried to whitewash it with this kind of argumentation, trying to prove that it’s worth it, because someone else would pay way more for it and even tried to induce some kind of guilt, stating that you’ve added some voice in the price.
You are selling a product that’s worth much less for most of the people on the market and it’s fine, that’s how free market works, you can do this, but please don’t try to use such logic to argue with the people who think otherwise, because it’s not the point here. I get it that whoever paid for this probably had a preview and knew that this won’t be fluid or detailed in the end and it’s fine, that’s how it works. The only problem I see is your argumentation. You seem to be afraid to just realize some aspects of such stuff. In the first place you shouldn’t even engage in any discussions about it, but you did, which shows that you don’t want to accept the situation and you’ve pulled some of the worst arguments people constantly repeat over and over again. You will get nothing but shit this way.
You could just admit “yes, I charged this kind of money but the commissioner knew how the animation will look like this from the beginning, so I don’t care” and it would be fine. There’s NOTHING terribly wrong about it. People may argue if this is the right thing to do but this is how the market works – if there’s money, why not pick it up when you can? If people want to rip themselves off and be happy about it, then why not capitalize on that. Just don’t try to fight later with such stupid arguments, when people will be bitching about the amount of money involved in a piece, because they will, they always do. The more you will make the more negative feedback or even hate you will get in return and you have to understand why it’s happening and handle it appropriately and what you just did was not appropriate at all. Your best bet is to ignore it and not engage in any discussion about it. Just realize in your head that these people are mostly right, but it’s your choice to capitalize your work this way and you have the right to do so. The sooner you realize it, the better for your mental health – fighting about it will only make you enemies.
