My latest commission ButtercupSaiyan
In other words, I'm doing commissions now D: ... sold this one for only $30. Am I doing it right?

I don't know whether to feel if it was too cheap or too expensive, I don't know the usual
standards for a high-quality 7 hour CG ...

Anyway, this one went out to Yuri Heaven's moderator who commissioned me.

Too expensive, whoever bought that is the kind of people who would pay for that fat weeaboo's webcomic "art".

Newsflash: effort involved in creation does not automatically validate product.

Also, most people are willing to pay more for real media images (like, painted on paper) than for CGs, because with CGs you can reprint them infinitely or post them to 4chan, which usually cheapens it for the buyer. That has been my experience with commissions.

I think you should adopt either a more realistic style or a more true-to-source style.

In my experience many fan artists make extra money by selling prints of there former commissions for $3 to $15. You should probobly get the permission of the original client first thogh.

P.S. I might be intorested in commissioning you. I like your style.

It's enough to sell, most of the time.

ONE person only is needed to add media into the public domain and this system doesn't suit you?

urm.. no, I would think that would be because they have to actually DRAW IT... as in... WITH THEIR HANDS... which would require more skill

saging because thread is a discussion, instead of having actual new images in it

No Kikyo. What a shame. I like Kikyo.

Clearly a lot of work did go into the creation of this picture. But the end result is not aesthetically pleasing to me, so I would not say that it is worth that, or any, money.

If someone else thinks it's worth that much, good for them and good for you. But I would not pay thirty bucks for that.

I think the eyes and the faces are fine. I think the faces are reminiscent of the Inuyasha comic's style.

Sango looks like she has dreadlocks...

Dear lawd.. why are you posting this unholy shit in my /hr/?

I don't care how many hours you spent drawing this over-rendered piece of crap, but it's god awfully hideous. wtf is that smudge on the girl on the right's nose? What the fuck is wrong with the leftside girl's collar bone? It's quite obvious you pulled the shading and highlights out of your ass because it's everywhere it needs and needs to NOT BE. ...and dear lord, you didn't even draw the background.

If you want to show off your ghastly animu drawings, POST IN /ic/.

picture is related.

I think you have the shapes that you want to draw down. Also, you have the ability to produce very fine, complex shapes -- the background is testimony to this.

The main weakness in this image is, IMO, overuse of a soft brush or spray can in Photoshop. It makes the girls' skin and hair both look like they are made from the same material - dyed rubber.

I have uploaded an Urushihara Satoshi picture - he creates a much more precise, high-contrast look that also allows him to create the feel of materials. The girl's hair has small specular highlights that show its shininess, whereas the shading on her skin is much more broad.

If you're attached to it, your soft look may be salvageable; for the skin it's not so bad. But it's entirely unsuited for hair. (Also, the broad crescent-shaped specular highlights on the left of both girls' hair iare very odd). I would look at the source material - real hair - to see how it reflects light, and try to work that into your drawings. On the other hand, if you want to render anime hair, then look at how that is shaded.

As for the $30 price, I would do a lot more freebies to get practice and feedback if I were you before charging money.
