I think the problem with putting a price on a commission is really working out what the artists' work is worth and what the customer is willing to pay.

The artist might full well think that the piece is absolutely marvellous, their magnum opus or some such, and think it's worth easily $100. The person buying it might go "nice eyes, I'll give you $10 for it".

The question is, how do you put a price on art that's fair to both?

I'd pay up to 25 dollars for a really, really, really good pic.

Depends on what the purpose of the graphic was. If it was for personal pleasure, I'd do it myself. If it were for business, I'd pay whatever the company was willing to pay... or maybe do it myself and have the company pay me :oP

edit: oh yeah, and for the people I know that do cg... yeah... 50 bucks ain't gonna cut it for anything decent. :oP Heck, most 2D graphics and webdesigns cost more than 50 bucks for anything impressive, so yeah... CG graphic would prolly cost much more.

Okay, I'll post an example of some digital artwork, by an artist called pu-sama

Come in out of the Rain by pu-sama

Now I'm guessing that took HOURS and HOURS of work, patience, tedious blending of color and attention to detail, significant skill, etc to do.

How much do YOU think it's worth?

Do you judge that value on just what it looks like at face value, or the time and effort that goes into it? If pu-sama was doing that for a living for somebody, they might charge by the hour...
