  HNNNG I LOVE YOU. I'd pay 1mil for that, easily.

  
  
  Glad you like it ♥
  And i doubt i'd charge anyone 1mil for it.

  That is the most beautiful drawing I've seen in the world so far.

  
  
  Thanks bro -u-

  So from the estimates you guys posted-- as well as the amount of effort/time it takes me to do each-- i've decided on these prices:
  
  

  Headshots: 150k
  Midbody/Bust: 400k
  Chibi: 500k

  
  
  [SIZE="1"]I only priced chibi's higher because while they look small and simple, some people's outfits in mabi are ridiculously detailed, and i dont like to skimp out on them. Not to mention they're technically fullbody pics[/SIZE]
  
  
  My opinion doesnt matter at all cuz i'd feel like i was overcharging for even 50k, but what do you guys think? Fair prices y/n?

  It sounds pretty fair to me :o
  But usually people charge more for the regular-proportioned drawings (bust/waist up) because chibi proportions are easier to work with. If the character was facing forward for the waist-up, then wouldn't it take longer than a chibi?

  Maybe i'm just weird, but if i did that waist-up from the front it would still take me less time than the chibi did. And a waist-up version of that chibi would take me longer than the other, but still lesss time than the chibi.
  Drawings come easier to me when i can omit things like poses xD

  Very good prices. I'd bug you for a drawing if I didn't hoard my money like a greedy bastard. :D;

  Yeah poses are such a pain ._.
  You should also charge extra if they want a background or something :o People pay a lot of money for backgrounds.

  I suck at backgrounds so i wont even offer them xD
  No price would be worth my pain lmao;;

  Yeah I guess they're annoying to draw :I I always leave my drawings with white backgrounds. Then again I leave most of my drawings before even finishing the sketch. OH WELL.
  
  I just think that more options would make the shop fancier~ Like you know, simple background requests, costs for adding people, etc

  And what if people just want a chibi face?
• Burningsky wrote on 2011-07-23 14:46
  Very fair prices.
  
  Would you consider doing drawings with friends for 2x, or 2.5x base price?

  I see what you mean, I just dont want to add a bunch of stuff and not get any requests lol -paranoid-
  But if this shop thing works out well i'll add more things.

  Then they might as well be asking for an icon.

  For 2x the base price.. sure, i'd do that.

  Would you also do artwork of non-Nexon characters?
