let's see.

 

Your anthro art is DEFINITELY your best so I'd say

 

For any form of art print (posters and what-what) I'd say $15-20.

 

For just, a commision, $10-15

 

For lineart $7-10

 

For sketches $2-5

Since you're new to commissions, you should definitely start at a small price range, like the one you've suggested or Faffle suggested. If, a month or two down the line, you're consistently getting customers and more followers, you can raise the prices to something more typical as to what you find among Tumblr.

From experience on various art sites and tumblr, what determines the prices is mostly popularity rather than quality and complexity. I've seen artists charge 20$ for a commission another charge twice that for a commission of similar quality. If it's their sole form of income or their actual job doesn't earn that much for them, that bumps the price too. Supply and demand is the name of the game here.

 

In terms of pony commissions, I've rarely seen someone charge more than 15$ for a fully coloured and shaded non-anthro pony, if that's any reference. Anthro ponies are typically 5-10$ more. That scales when it comes to sketches, linearts and flat colour pieces.

Example;

Non-anthro: 3$ sketch, 5$ lineart, 7$ flats, 10$ shaded.

Anthro: 5$ sketch, 8$ lineart, 10$ flats, 15$ shaded.

 

I wouldn't recommend offering prints.  Most artists don't bother, since you normally have to also factor in post & packaging costs, which varies depending on location.

 

Also, you may or may not want to do this, but also have a slot system for commissions. Given that you're new, it may not be necessary to start with, but it's definitely something to consider if demand raises. As for number of slots, I recommend 5-10 slots. Less is only good if you don't get that many commissions. More means commissioners may have to wait longer for you to finish their commission. Some artists do this and, to make it even worse, some of them do their commissions at a very leisurely pace. That tends to piss off the more impatient commissioners.

 

Never be afraid to decline a commission if you don't like the design or idea. If you're not enjoying what you're doing, then it's not worth it, even if you're getting paid to do so.

 

EDIT: Someone that I follow on tumblr just opened up for anthro pony commissions, at 35$ for a flat colour. Again their art gets a lot of attention on Tumblr. I reckon they're smart with the pricing, since with so many followers, all the more likely that someone who's willing to spend more money will do so, not to mention that they're one of the, in my own opinion, better anthro pony artists on Tumblr! link

I've always been interested in doing commissions but never enough to really give it serious thoughts. I might just offer one or two commission slots and see how they turn out before deciding on whether to do it seriously or not.

It was brought to my attention that most commissions are illegal because it is an income based on a type of business, therefore should be taxed by the government. However, nobody is. But it still is technically evading tax laws the way i understand it.

I haven't seen anyone taken to jail or carted off for doing original works and selling it, especially since it IS an original work.

 

Edit in some cool little evidences...

 

----------

((Quote tags not working, ftw.))

"Fan-art of copyrighted characters has no legal protection. If you draw Simba or Nala or Kovu, you are creating a derivative work-- something that U.S. law explicitly defines as being owned by the creator of the original work. Without Disney's permission, all fan-art and fan-fiction using their characters is in fact illegal. Now, don't panic-- most entertainment companies (like Disney, Paramount, Dreamworks, etc.) tend to overlook these kinds of copyright violations. (That's how lionking.org has continued to exist all these years.) They realize that fan creativity is worth more to them in having good relations with their fans than they would gain by aggressively pursuing each and every violation, because usually nobody makes any money off fan-based creations. But that doesn't mean that it's not illegal. The Lion King fan-art and fan-fiction community exists solely because Disney allows it to."

 

-----

 

"If I make up my own stories, but base them on another work, my new work belongs to me." 

False. U.S. Copyright law is quite explicit that the making of what are called "derivative works" -- works based or derived from another copyrighted work -- is the exclusive province of the owner of the original work. This is true even though the making of these new works is a highly creative process. If you write a story using settings or characters from somebody else's work, you need that author's permission. 

Yes, that means almost all "fan fiction" is arguably a copyright violation. If you want to write a story about Jim Kirk and Mr. Spock, you need Paramount's permission, plain and simple. Now, as it turns out, many, but not all holders of popular copyrights turn a blind eye to "fan fiction" or even subtly encourage it because it helps them. Make no mistake, however, that it is entirely up to them whether to do that. 

There is a major exception -- criticism and parody. The fair use provision says that if you want to make fun of something like Star Trek, you don't need their permission to include Mr. Spock. This is not a loophole; you can't just take a non-parody and claim it is one on a technicality. The way "fair use" works is you get sued for copyright infringement, and you admit you did copy, but that your copying was a fair use. A subjective judgment on, among other things, your goals, is then made. 

However, it's also worth noting that a court has never ruled on this issue, because fan fiction cases always get settled quickly when the defendant is a fan of limited means sued by a powerful publishing company. Some argue that completely non-commercial fan fiction might be declared a fair use if courts get to decide."

 

----------

 

I also don't see it as "Evading" or "Avoiding" tax laws. Every rule has an exception, whether it's big or little, and I'm pretty sure no sane artist is going to call up the government demanding to be taxed.

In any case, you shouldn't worry. Since you're only starting, the last thing you need to care about is being taxed.

 

If transactions are strictly within Paypal, then it should sort itself out. If the commissioner sends the money as 'payment', then they also pay a tiny extra fee, usually no more than a dollar more, when sending the money. This money goes to Paypal. Payments this way are completely legal.

Some artists ask that you send money via 'gift'. The commissioner doesn't pay that little extra fee. Legally you shouldn't do commissions this way, as there's no extra tax either party is paying. Gifting should only be used for personal reasons. And never in large amounts, i.e. several hundreds or thousands of dollars.

 

The other way to do it, very few artists do this and more should is the request money function. This is where you write a request to the commissioner for the money required as opposed to them sending the money themselves. All the commissioner has to do is click on the email and send the money. You're less likely to get screwed over by idiots who can't use paypal this way.

Here's a guide that was written for Furaffinity users. Warning: there's some minor mention of NSFW stuff, but only to get across the point on how commissioners could fuck up and make your life hell.

http://i11.photobuck...paypal-full.jpg

 

In regards to naming your emails when you're sending the money request, I don't think you need to be as vague as Cookie Sheets. For a shaded commission, something as simple as "Shaded Commission" would work. Or even just "Commission".

 

Example roleplay of a commissioner and the artist;

Commissioner:

Hello I would like to commission you for a shaded commission.

This includes blah blah blah.

 

Artist:

Okay, that will be 15$!

I just need your paypal email and I will send you the payment request!

 

NB: Some artists wait until they've done a sketch or finished completely before asking for payment.

 

Commissioner:

Okay my email is xxxxxx@xxxxxx

 

Artist:

Request sent. It should be called "Tsar is a grump!"

 

Commissioner sees the email and sends the payment.

 

They may or may not sent the artist an message saying they sent the payment.

 

That's the only roleplaying I'll ever do. Ever.

That quote and stuff I removed is now pointless since I've explained how to do it legally via paypal.

For lack of a better term I used "evading". I'm speaking from experience in law, that if you offer a service or a good to the general public or market, you must list it as a source of income and be taxed for that received money. However nobody does this, and the governments don't micromanage like that to chase after teenagers and adults selling their art for 5- 10 bucks.


I am in no way shape or form saying that it should be taxed. I find absolutely no problem in those transactions. However from a legal perspective, it's a different story.

 

Anyways... moving on.

google-hangout.JPG

Once you have joined, depending on the ammout of people already in the Hangout, your mic might be muted on default, make sure your mic is unmuted if you would like to talk to the rest of the group. On the LEFT side are your apps, you can use these to work together in Google Docs, watch YouTube videos together, share your screen(s), or do other things. On the RIGHT side is the chat box, users who does not have a mic or does not wich to speak may use this to communicate with the rest of the group. You may toggle the text chat by clicking on the "Chat" app on the left side. Along the BOTTOM is where you will see who is in the Hangout with you, you may hover your mouse over their avatar to access mro information and options. You may leave the Hangout anytime by clicking on the "Hang Up" icon at the upper-right corner and rejoin at a later time, don't worry, we won't be sad if you leave... Well, maybe a little.

 

All of the helpful! :D

 

Lemme know when another one starts. I got some work to do early today, but I'd still like to drop by later on~

And to answer the other question, there will most likely be a Hangout everyday, usually in the afternoon (EST) when everyone returns from school/work. You can even start your own Hangout if you are in the mood for one and there is none in session or your time zone is too extreme to join normally. Do check first to see if there is any Hangout already in session before starting your own, multiple Hagouts would just be verry confusing. Make sure you post the link to the Hangout you created here so others can join you. I will see if I can streamline this thread and turn it into the "official" Hangouts thread where everyone can check back and see if there is any Hangout going on.

 

Warning: Joining Hangouts may result in extreme levels of procrastination, ridiculousness, and overall nothing-gets-doneness.

Google Hangouts is a video conferencing utility for Google+ users. To join one, you must sign up for a Google+ account (It's free, but you would have to use an appropriate name, not a silly nickname - you could get banned for that). ONce signed up, you may start your own Hangout by clicking on the "Start Hangout" button on the right side of your Google+ homepage, or you could join an existing Hangout by clicking on the provided link, which will be posted here evertime a Hangout is in session. You will be directed to a Google Hangouts window/tab where you can join.

When joining, you will have the chance to preview who is already in the Hangout and may chose to mute your mic or disable your webcam by using the corresponding buttons located at the top-left corner.

Of course not, age does not really matter as long as you act slightly mature. Pichu has started a Hangout, you may join that whenever you wish.

I honestly don't mind, but i'm not responsible for anything that happens in a Google hangout. so there may be some colorful language or some less appropriate artwork being done. So you can join. just join at your own consent.

Hold on. I need to find you some of my early-2000s art. It makes me physically ill.

 

Here, try this one. This is one of Aaron's eeeeaaarliest designs - he still had black hair and a really bland outfit, and he talked like Jar-Jar Binks because what in the nine levels of hell was I THINKING.

 

This was also a very early part of my "celshade" phase. I obviously had no idea what I was doing. _A_,,

 

His love of gummi sharks hasn't changed a tick, though. xD
