I was hired as an early concept artist for Eyes of Wakanda back in August 2021. It was an opportunity to do some ideation for the first set of characters according to the vision of Director, Todd Harris.

I was offered $95K. I asked for $110K. They came back with $105K.I accepted. The 30 seconds of discomfort asking for more earned me an extra $10K/year. This is where context matters; that's $50K over 5 years. For 30 seconds of awkwardness.

Always negotiate. Always.
