Poll About Changes (Patreon)

SO! I haven't really touched increasing my prices in a long time, 5 years if I recall correctly maybe longer. Anyway I wanted to ask your guys' opinion on the changes, because I'm planning on changing not only my prices, but also my Patreon tiers as well.

-My Commission Price change idea:
Sketches go from $10 --> $30
Inks go from $20 --> $50 (or +$20 from sketch)
Colors go from $35 --> $80 (or +$30 from ink/+$50 from sketch)

This change is factoring my local state minimum wage ($12/hr) and it taking me about 2 hours to do a sketch plus tax (10%) and rounding up to a 5 or 10 factor.

-The other change I was thinking of was if I should remove the free sketch space entirely, or if I should move it to a higher tier (and make more tiers for possible discounts)

SO yeah the poll is based on if the prices are good/need more tuning and if the free sketch should Go, or be moved up.

Feel free to comment on your thoughts

While I'd say your current prices do seem a bit underpriced, I think the prices you suggested are a bit too steep, nearly tripling in price overall. Somewhere in between may be more workable, I do commission quite a few artists so I'll see if I can compile a general 'average' price (taking into account that your 'sketches' are actually quite cleaner than most other artists). As for the free sketch tier, I think keeping it is a good idea but moving it up higher wouldn't be a bad idea for sure

I totally think your current prices could stand some raising to better match the amazing work you do! As far as free sketches go, I think that if you're going to keep them, raising the prices of that tier is super important. I know you tend to wind up spending a lot of your month plowing through those and you do such great work with just sketches alone that I feel it's justified! Maybe/alternatively also consider limiting the number of sketch-tiers you have open? But, I mean, these are all suggestions. <3 Do whatever you feel is best, FF!

I agree that your current prices can definitely be raised. As for the amounts you've chosen, I'm afraid I can't really give a good recommendation since I haven't actually commissioned anyone before, but taking a quick glance through several I'm seeing sketches usually landing somewhere between $10 and $30 (leaning more in the 20-30 range), lineart/ink hovering around $30-$50, and colored $50 and up (though often around the 55-90 range). I also see some that add on an extra $5-20 if you the commissioner wants a background or extra characters (could be an option if you wanted to keep a lower base price). It sounds like Malkai up there will have a much better idea of average commission prices, but that's what I was generally seeing among the ones that don't charge $200+ for a single picture. Also saw some with different prices for different levels of detail, but that could get complicated and lead to discussions of what level of detail a picture is. Finally for the free sketch tier, I guess a large part of it comes down to how much time it takes for you to complete all of them each month and whether or not they are at the same level as sketched commissions? *TLDR: Can't properly judge exactly how much you should charge, but I do agree that you can definitely up your prices and that the free sketch tier should go up since your base sketch price is also going up.
