Alright guys, it's come to the point where I need to replenish my diminishing monetary resources. I only have -just- enough to get me through two more months paying for my phone bill, and then I'm broke. I've got my other account, but that money's strictly for moving with. And I'm not sure it'll be enough to get me and Bel(l)a and Riva across the country.

So here's the deal. I can sketch, I can ink, I can paint. I can even mat and frame. Question is, how much are you willing to pay for said services?

Sketches: Will probably cost about $5-$10 if people don't mind just getting the digital scan. Probably around $15 if they want the real!media copy. 'Cause I hate giving up the real thing. x.x;;

Ink: Um. Again, if it's just the scan, likely $10-$15. I've got a couple of inking styles, too. There's the clean style that I use for things like this, or this (I love working in that style X3), and there's the sketchy style, for which I have no good example scanned at the moment. ^.^; Will have in a sec. <3

Paint/Illustrations: Er. Not a clue. >.>.. What do you think? There's no way I'm doing a full painting/illustration for less than $15 though. *blink* Hopefully I can get more than $20. Anyone think $30 is too much to ask for a painting about 8.5" x 11" in size? Obviously simple/no backgrounds will be less expensive than fully rendered/detailed backgrounds, too. Here are some examples, if you haven't already taken a peek at my Flickr gallery. I'll do the paintings, or the black and white illustrations, or the light-on-dark illustrations.

Mat/Frame: It usually costs somewhere around $100 to mat and frame a picture at a store, even if you already have the frame. I'm willing to do the same job (and pretty darn well, if I do say so myself), for a fraction of that. If you send me the picture and ask it be matted and framed, I can probably do it for around $20-$30, plus the cost of the frame you want (or the cost of wood + labor if you want a custom frame). You can even specify colors and style stuff just like a normal framing place, too. I've only got two examples right now, but I'm working on a few more to show soon, with various 'effects' and whatnot. ^.^;

Wow, did you actually read through all that? *impressed*

Well now. What to do? Should I post a poll asking for a price range? I think I'll x-post this to a couple other places, too, while I'm at it.

What do you think about all this?
