Pricelists Industry vs Fandom.

Finally made.

If anyone would care to donate a coloured comic page for the comic industry standard list I’m willing to accept one and will give credit c8 I would’ve made one if I had an example but I don’t -A-

But yes that’s off my chest.

Of course this is based off my own browsing over price lists and how I work unfortunately my commissioner homie went idle so I can’t confirm the most vs the least one can spend.

I’ve only found one artist thus far that charges nearly as close to industry standard. Even then it’s under the standard. As far a I’m concerned anyone under the standard shouldn’t have complaints about expensive art. Fandom average is hardly one you can live by.

Would you like to get paid $30 for 3-7 days worth of work?

Yeah hey, everyone look at this. This is what EVERY artist should be able to charge, even if just the lower rungs.

I’m going to play the devil’s advocate and disagree with the above comment. Realistically, no, not every artist should be able to charge the same as an industry professional — that would be silly. That’s like showing up to a job and expecting to be paid before you even get hired, because you assume your resume alone was enough. Let’s also not forget that these industry artists are professionals who bear the responsibility of contracts, deadlines, and set procedures.

Ideally, everyone should prove their chops first before they can be paid accordingly. (I say “ideally” because occasionally, amateurs can get away with charging around industry price just because of their “fame” on the internet) I am not disagreeing with this pricelist, nor am I supporting the exploitation of deserving artists. I just don’t like the idea of some artists harbouring self-entitlement issues and whining about how nobody wants to commission them because they made themselves too expensive for their worth. (harsh, I know.)
