What's the market for art commissions on Spiral Knights?
I'm curious because I'm thinking of offering commissions in exchange for crowns or energy crystals or items but I want to know if anyone would be willing to do that.
So what do you think would be fair prices for things like pencil sketches? Inks? colors? I'd love some feedback and suggestions to know if there is enough people interested. If there's enough interest I can post what sort of things I could offer.
Love to hear from you guys!
That sounds like a pretty awesome idea!
As far as pricing is concerned though, one thing with commissions that shouldn't change is how much would you be willing to earn versus how much work you put into it. Afterwards, its just a matter of converting that to the in-game currency amount that you feel would be appropriate. Check the market as the prices tend to fluctuate a lot and settle on a price that would be affordable to people. Not just those that have the paychecks to use on art but also those people that may want one just cause its nice.
And for your own prices well...that's up to you. I'd say research a bit on how much artists are charging for their works and quality and see if people would be willing to spend as much on your art, or however you feel you deserve.
