Hi all!
So for a while I've been contemplating selling my art on here. I was struggling with examples, though, so I couldn't set anything up. Now I've set up a DA where I've dumped a lot of art I've done recently for myself and others (I will be adding more examples soon)!:
https://www.deviantart.com/scribblesgalore

I would greatly appreciate it if you would let me know if you would be interested in buying art from me! And if so, what would you price my art at? I do both traditional and digital art. Traditional is certainly my forte, so I would be wanting to focus more on selling that. However, I would sell simple digital art too (I would perhaps focus more on digital as I get better at it). I would be selling headshots, busts and fullbodies, possibly icons if people want it.

Thank you for taking the time to read this, and replying (if you do). ^^

Oh! you should totally set up shop! I'm SUPER horrible at pricing since it seems like some days people are looking to drop a whole bunch of GB, and other days they're not. I'd say settle on a price YOU think is worth your time, and go from there. If you end up needing to lower it, you can, or if you want to raise it because of popular demand, you can as well!

Just remember your art = your time. If you're spending 4 hours on a piece for 200sb, that would be crazy.

When I price my art, I consider what I already charge for it, and then say the monetary ratio is 2 GB per one US dollar. I've taken a while to get my prices to where they still bring in customers but I still make money off of it. The thing to remember, though, is Lioden is stingy. A lot of the players are used to getting art that's dirt cheap simply because people don't value their time and will sell stuff that took them 3 days for 500sb.

Now that I've effectively gone around in circles, all I can say is this: put up pricing that YOU'LL be happy getting for your art. Don't undersell yourself -- that't the biggest problem I see on LD.

I'd definitely buy some art from you!

I also suck at pricing, especially when it comes to other people's works, but I agree with Serfass! Charge based on how much time you spend on it (:
