I have charged clients anywhere from $2,000-$20,000 for custom illustrations in the last few years.
All this discourse over prices is coming from kids who don’t have mortgages.
Illustration cost a lot because it adds a lot of value to products in a marketplace.
Having the right art on your book, card game, etc can worth a LOT of money.
That’s why companies pay $10,000 for a jpeg.
@thyrealverlune8 You’re assuming making $100,000 means you have $100,000 in free purchasing power.
That’s a mistake only someone living with their parents would make.
