I don’t even know where to start with this.
I can’t even count on both my hands with how many times people seem to think I work for free. Whether it be for posters or web design or illustrations.
“I don’t know why I need to pay you. Can’t be that hard to do.”
Yes. It is. If it wasn’t, then you wouldn’t be asking me to help you. With every piece of work, whether it is digital or traditional or coding websites or doing 3D or photography, there is a lot of time, frustration and effort put into it. It might not come in the form of corporate payroll but it doesn’t mean it isn’t a job. And it doesn’t mean that the artists shouldn’t get paid for it. We don’t just magically shit out colours in seconds and go, “Oh, look! A masterpiece for free!” I didn’t go through 3 years of school to get my degree to have people tell me that my art has no merit for any kind of professional career.
I can tell you alone, the skull girl painting took about 15 hours. And Boba Fett is taking me well over 30 hours and counting.
When I used to take on website clients, I had one client say that $350 was too much for a website. Considering that most professional web designers charge about $2000 for a site (and that’s pretty standard), I was perhaps selling myself a little too short.
But what do I know, right? I’m just some 20-something female fresh out of college with no concept of how the real world works. Oh, when will I ever learn.
