.:: your eyes are like polar ice gatorade ::.

inquiry!

okay, since it's summer, and i have more time on my hands, i've decided to start taking commissions.

i want your opinions, though. i know a lot of you are still students, so i obviously wouldn't be charging something ridiculous like $20 for one character, but i do have to be reasonable. i've been talking to a few other "artists" (i use that word tentatively, lol) who also work for commissions, and i've received a lot of varying price ranges. most [info]wizzart doodles take about an hour, but if i'm doing more than one character, or an entire scene, it obviously takes a bit longer.

i was thinking about $5 for one character. any character you want. i'll put your name on it (LJ or otherwise), and you can use it in your user!info, etc. maybe a bit more if you wanted yourself in [info]wizzart form (you'd need to send me a picture), 'cause that would take longer than just a doodle of harry or ron.

i need your help working out the other prices, though. i would be willing to do cartoons of you with your favourite character, but that would cost a bit more. how much more? i dunno. what do you guys think is reasonable? if you wanted an entire scene (any scene from the books/movies) it would definitely cost a bit more, because depending on what scene you want, it can take a few hours. i'd be willing to negotiate a price if that situation ever arises, but for now i need to lay out the basics.

one character? lets say $5. i'll let you guys figure out the rest. two characters? three? i'll do any character, any ship, any scene. it's up to you. what would you be willing to pay? what is in your price range? i'm trying to be really fair.

in other exciting [info]wizzart news, you can now donate!

*cue crickets*

lol, i'm not asking for much, and i don't expect anything, but even a dollar would honestly be helpful. if you can spare it, of course. the only reason i'm asking is because i have to buy myself paid photobucket accounts every few months, so it would be nice to have a little bit of help.

...and i have a baby.

ok, no i don't, but i thought i'd give it a shot.

canadian & american (& any other) wizzards can donate to draco (i thought he'd be appropriate) -







& british wizzards can donate to harry -







all you need is a paypal account.

now, i made some more buttons. 'cause ya'll are demanding.

Actually, this is perfect timing. My friend's birthday is next week, I'd LOVE of picture of her squeeing at Harry, or some shit like that. I think that $5 for one character is good, so I'd be willing to pay $7-$10 for her being a fangirl. I don't have any money at the moment, but I will soon. Get back to me for details. :)

Thank you for the lovely Sirius ones! Just for that, I think I can spare a buck to support an artist with many demands and an imaginary baby. :)

I have some extra money in my paypal account from doing surveys (and they do actually pay me, though I only use it towards keeping my LJ paid).

*wanders out of lurkdom* I think the best idea for you would be to charge by the hour: since you say it takes you an hour for one character, $5.00 per hour sounds reasonable (or $5.00 for the first hour, and $2.00 or $3.00 dollars every hour after it). Otherwise, I think possibly $8.00 for a relatively small scene ($10.00 if it includes a real person insert), and a bit more for a really large scene. I wouldn't go over $15.00, and I'd be more than wary of going even that high. As for putting a fanperson in there, I think it's safe to say that they should be at least $7.00. Or you could just take payment offers from people and decide if they're enough for you.

And! As soon as I actually get some money in my PayPal account (and figure out how to work it), I'll be sure to give you a donation (if I remember) because you amuse the heck out of me. Much of my love goes to your artwork.

I just donated a bit to wizzart (look for scraps-n-stitches), but why draco? Couldn't we have donated to ginny? LOL.

Love the art, hope this helps you buy some more icons or something. You don't have to create anything special for me, but how do I get those banners on my LJ? do I have to have a paid account, or can I do it on my free one? curious, most curious....

Have fun drawing!

i think five bucks a character is quite reasonable, perhaps 7 or 10 for a background. maybe if they want a couple of frames done, you give them a discount after 3 frames or something...

I'm totally putting up one of those banners in my userinfo! But there are none of Ron! The inhumanity of it all! (Your wizzart!Ron is adorable.)

This isn't an official request, but I'd love to see a wizzart-ified version of Luna Lovegood someday.

If you have five dollars a character couldn't you just say that a scene with two characters would be 10, three-15, ect...? I understand the scene itself should prolly cost some but that could always be what you negotiate with people. Or just say maybe a scene is two or three dollars and then add then five dollars for however many characters? Just a thought.... ^_^

I would donate but I have no money. xD Literally, zip, zilch, zero.

Hah those are great! I had the Harry one... but now I'm definately taking Mary Sue!

I'll have to to think about what kind of thing I might like to have drawn haha... but I have no idea about price or anything.

I think it's a really good idea though!

I really wish I had a paypal account, I'd donate first thing! =(

Hmm, I'm not an artist myself but I could provide some help with the pricing list.

Yes, $5 per character sounds reasonable. ;)

W/O background
One character = $5
Two characters = $9
Three characters = $13/14
Group? = $16

W/ background (Depending on how elaborate the background is)
One character = $7-10
Two characters = $10-12
Three characters = $13-16
A scene/group = $15-20

Yep, these prices should be reasonable enough! ;)
