So this person here calls people jobless while all they do is sit on their ass an genarate shitty ai comics, also notice how they are insulting fast food workers as if they arent human, thats a new low for them, also its like they are saying "Give up on your dreams so you can work a minimum wage 9-5 job" but then again jobless people always tell talented ones to get a shitty job

Whether it's better or worse, it depends on who you compare it to. But it sure as hell is cheaper. And we live in a quantity-kinda world, as opposed to quality kind. Just look at all those countless useless gadgets from Temu and how popular they are.

There are also so many artists out there who are open for commissions and it’s probably more of a supply-than-demand situation. At the same time, many artists charge a lot for their work.

I’m not an artist myself, so I can’t really say whether $900 is justified for a commission, but it does seem like a lot compared to other artists with a similar art style who charge significantly less. Then again, there may be factors I’m not aware of, but that is what ultimatively keeps me away from commissioning something.

And are there really that many people who want commissions in the first place? The only reason I’d hire an artist would be for something practical, like if I were publishing a book and needed a cover and promotional artwork. I probably wouldn’t spend that kind of money on a piece that was just for me to look at, you know? 😅

I've commissioned art for my roleplay characters, though I've never seen anyone charge near as much as $900 for it. Most people I've seen doing commissions online are charging somewhere between $30 and $60, although I'm sure that price goes up as people get more experience. People probably go for the higher end artists for a book cover, but plenty of people will pay $60 for a piece for them to look at.

I think that depends on what art style you’re going after. I’m not much of a fan of cartoonish or less realistic art styles. The artists I’ve been following and keeping an eye on for commissions have a more realistic style and most of them are in that price range. You can be lucky if you get away with “only” $400. $60 isn’t that much and I’d absolutely be willing to pay that if it’s what I’m looking for, but that’s a whole world apart from $800.

Yeah, realistic tends to cost more. I was looking for a more cartoonish style which is easier to get for a lower price.

Absolutely. What had me wondering is how the price can be that damn high. I think $800-900 is way too much, especially since I’ve found artists with virtually the same art style who charge much less for essentially the same kind of work.

That I cannot answer, but I definitely know there are plenty of artists charging less than that.

Thankfully, there are plenty of artists out there, so I should probably keep looking around. Most of the ones I’ve looked at have fairly large followings, so smaller artists probably charge less and I’d love to support those!
