Art for LGG
I'm only accepting LGG
unless you want to pay USD, but no other exceptions...
I can offer you sketches on paper


I can also offer you, digital paintings.



Because I don't want to disappoint you, I will only be drawing people. No animals, or whatever else.
I don't know what a solid LGG payment would be. But since everyone except like 3 people have only 100 something gold, I'll make it 50 LGG per w/e you want.

Thanks
and we can work out other payment if needed

*sees your avatar*

What about drawing some Pokémon characters since you'll only draw humans; like Red, Yellow, Ash, May, Brock, etc?

Also since I kind of just joined the forum recently, I have almost no LGG so I would pay with PayPal.

I have an example of a sableye I drew, it's not my avatar though.
I will upload it soon.

As for pokemon human characters, that totally works too, paypal also work for payment

Yeah, but I don't have any current examples

Alright, how much would you charge for a sketch of Red, Gold, and Yellow in one picture, and Ash and May in the other?

For five people...
I'm not sure
I've never charged real money for my art
#8
How much would it cost in LGG for the Red/Gold/Yellow picture?

EDIT: Though I would totally support you getting some USD for your talent, but if it costs more than what MageLeif is looking to pay, I might contribute to that with LGG assuming he still gets Ash/May with USD.

I've found a good standard for just starting out is minimum wage. Just however long it takes you times $7/$8/minimum-wage-where-you-live per hour.

Then increase it as demand increases. If too many people want it at the current price for you to do all of the work in the limited amount of time we as human beings have, increase the price.

150LGG
There isn't a set ratio yet, so you can haggle or whatever XD

That's a good idea...
I'll try using it, and if no one buys than lower the price?

That'll probably work. IDK the quality or detail of any of it yet. See my edit. I am a fan of those three characters (and not so much Ash or May).

You can always trade stuff for LGG. Like TF2 items. ;)

Personally, I measure money in hours at minimum wage, so I could never go lower. But art is probably a bit different in that just doing it may be both fun and improve your talents for later work, and there is a dollar value for those things. Do whatever feels worth it to you. For me, most things aren't worth less than minimum wage, but if no one pays that, what're you gonna do? I don't think you'd have much problem getting that though. Especially if you tell them it's only minimum wage, they tend to understand. Artists got bills too.

I do have fun with the art, usually, unless it's something I don't want to draw. If that happens than I'll just look at what whoever is paying me xP
But I like pokemon and I'll like drawing these guys

If he wants to pay with USD for may and Ash, that works.
and than if you want to pay with LGG for the trio than that works as well.
#15
My preferences would be in this order:
He gets both with USD.
He gets just May/Ash with USD, and I'll get the other in LGG.
He trades me TF2 items for LGG, and gets both with LGG.
#16
I have to go for a couple hours, or less
I'll be back and see what the conclusion is

edit; if its LGG or USD, doesn't really matter to me

I've got some Bill's Hats in my inventory that I haven't sold yet, how much LGG would you trade for each one? I've been selling earbuds at $35 each, and three Bills are worth a Buds, so I value one Bill for $12.
#18
Can't exactly put dollar amounts on LGG. Go with what do you think his art is worth, and I'll pay proportionate to that.

I'm assuming it's 300 LGG for the two pics. Correct me if I'm wrong, Use. So go with whatever you think they're worth, gimme that much in TF2 items, and I'll give you the 300 LGG. :)

Also, why you not online?
#19
300 is correct :)
#20
Do you know how long it would take to make them?

Max time it will take is by Wednesday
because I have school and every thing
#22
I meant like hours spent working on them, for reference.

Oh...
Each character will take around 2 hours, 3 hours max
I have the video of me drawing the last drawing I posted, and it's around 1-2 hours :)
#24
With two to three hours, that means that each character would be anywhere from about $15 to $21. So I dunno, people on DeviantArt do commissions for $5 to $10 and also color their art as well. D:
#25
How much would you be willing to pay in TF2 items? And I'll just give the 300 LGG for whatever you're willing to pay.
#26
I'd do two Bill's Hats, plus six keys for all five characters.

If everything is colored though, I would be willing to pay three Bill's Hats plus six keys.

Note that I do have one bud in my inventory, but it's gifted so it's only worth like 2.5 Bills or something like that.
#27
Cool, cool. How much for colored, Use?

Also, trade me whenever on Steam.

Same price
#29
Alright, since 50 LGG per character sounds like a fair price, I'll give you 250 LGG for the five?

Oh yeah, I guess I miscalculated before :P

I will start now, also I'm not really sure what all the characters look like so do you have some references?
I don't want to be drawing the wrong characters on accident xP
#31
Oh yeah good idea, I went on Google and picked the best three I found for each person; that should give a good enough idea I hope:

For Ash, you can draw him in any the generation's clothes you like, except for the love of god please not the latest one Black/White.

No problem! Do you want me to send you the LGG now? Or pay one-by-one for each you finish? Wondering which way of payment you would prefer the most.

one-by-one is fine, or when they're all finished is okay too.

Do you have any more samples or a DA or anything? :3

Alright sounds good thanks!

Once you're done, let me know and I will donate 250 LGG to your account so then you can send me the pictures.
