help with pricing and also working out a ToS?

[kestral_kitsune]

Asking in here because I've asked in other places and NEVER get help there I thought I'd try here this time? sorry if this should be put in another area

I am in the process of rethinking my prices for commissions http://www.hasbro.com/mylittlepony/en_US/journal/1221079/ this is what I can find that I had them at last, for better examples of my art you can check my DA http://kestral.deviantart.com since I upload to there more regularly.

I don't know if my prices are too high or what, and I wanted to start adding the option for digital since I've become better with working with my tablet. any thoughts and suggestions I've had many say that my prices are too high for what I do and what not... also I am a slow worker because I have lost my motivation to draw and my muses are a fleeting thing. I'm great about communication and usually update the buyer when I'm on what stage and if there's an approval image waiting for them, of if its going to take longer than thought.



any ideas?

Do you have a different link to your artwork?  The one you posted doesn't work (filtered out because the site has some mature content we try to avoid here).  I typically pay anywhere from $5 to $15 for a commission, depending on complexity.  So I think if you're somewhere in that range, you should be fine.

It says the page I'm looking for doesn't exist when I click on the links.

argh

[ZennaBug]

It looks like your links have "..." in the middle of them, instead of the whole link.

[kestral_kitsune]

darn broken links

[ZennaBug]

If the links aren't working for you, you can try to PM me and I can try fix your post with working ones.  I just don't know which deviations you were trying to link to so I can't do it on my own.

[kestral_kitsune]

think is i can't remember which of them either since they didn't work for me other than the inked one i'm gonna try and figure it out go me for copy pasting with out checking to see if they worked.
