Sojourn Studio

So I need to actually use this thing.  I made it a month ago or more and just log on now and then to browse. This is the preview image for a video I made of art done in Figure Drawing III this past spring term (2011).  I had not done any drawing from life since 2005 when I graduated (AA of Liberal Arts/Studio Art) from Oakaloosa-Walton College (now Northwest Florida University).  I desperately needed to be drawing from life!  I loved class and I became completely addicted to the open drawing nights.

another exercise in balancing productivity and boredom.  i basically get stuck with nothing to do and set out to scribble, then end up with an illustration that has a weak composition.  in any case— i was able to complete this on my brand new travel tablet (courtesy of the best gift-giver ever)!

bambicandi: Pricelists Industry vs Fandom. Finally made. If anyone would care to donate a coloured comic page for the comic industry standard list I’m willing to accept one and will give credit c8 I would’ve made one if I had an example but I don’t -A- But yes that’s off my chest. Of course this is based off my own browsing over price lists and how I work unfortunately my commissioner homie went idle so I can’t confirm the most vs the least one can spend. I’ve only found one artist thus far that charges nearly as close to industry standard. Even then it’s under the standard. As far a I’m concerned anyone under the standard shouldn’t have complaints about expensive art. Fandom average is hardly one you can live by. Would you like to get paid $30 for 3-7 days worth of work? Edit:No I’m not saying what you should/shouldn’t charge for your pieces. That’s up to you. I’m talking to supposed commissioners that think it’s too expensive. This is the hours of your life they’re spending. If you’re gonna put a price tag on that make it worth that time and effort. For your own sanity. I wanted to post this so those artists that have been discouraged by “too expensive for me” comments. And updated the photo, $500-9500 for bw art hahaha 6u6 Edit2: I kinda worded “Fandom” to mean like, furry, anime, superhero, not really fan-characters at all. Sorry if that confused/go misread, I’m not sure how to describe this ‘group’ of the average price range 8Ia Apologies….also didn’t expect for this to be so huge but it’s been interesting reading c8 AND I didn’t feel right stealing from google images for example pictures which is why my own is up there. No I don’t expect $2000+ for it, not even $200, not unless I had to repaint in oils on a big BIG ASS CANVAS haha. Trust me when I say a lot of artists are paranoid and scared of their own prices. This estimate as far as industry goes is to remind you your time IS worth something. Will we all get there? That’s up to us for how hard we’re willing to go. I will say though I’ve gotten industry standard payment for LESS quality art years back. The artwork is an embarrassment now, but getting $300ish for it STUNNED me, I was so used to peanuts I didn’t feel I deserved it, made me realise that I’m at least capable though. I lucked out but I knew to keep trying. That’s the point I want to make really :/ Don’t give up. If you love it. Whatever you want to do with your life make sure you LOVE doing it and people don’t take advantage of your hard earned skills. That’s enough rambling from me now I will go back under my rock 8I Edit3: As people are still missing the point. Commissioners, don’t expect industry standard artwork for $30. That’s all there is to this post :/ You stop reading into stuff that isn’t there now, kay.

Here’s the list.
