Note: This journal is not meant to be an attack on artists who think they charge a lot. I fully respect the Artist’s right to select whichever prices they want.
Lately, I’ve been glancing at many different artists, finding many whom would be excellent choices to commission. As I’ve discovered these new favorites, I’ve also come across many who charge according to their ability, in that they are so well drawn, the prices are higher than I normally feel comfortable with.
Again, I am not bashing any artists who charge these higher prices, that is fully their right. The purpose of this journal was to gain some general opinions on how much most commissioners usually spend. Personally, my max is around $40, though there are times I commission more expensive stuff.
I divide some of my funds into several categories. One is for common average-cost purchases online (like snack items or books etc). Another is saved for purchase of expensive items like Laptops or computer programs. The last one is reserved for commissions and patreon fees. Since I have a set of funds dedicated to commissions themselves, perhaps I could grab expensive stuff a bit more often, just as long as I’m conservative.
Any thoughts? Do you think it’s fine to commission stuff higher than we normally like to pay?
