$20 for poster designs. but i do them like once every two weeks and they only take like 30 mins. ill get $50 for a cd cover next week though, and around $200 for a site design after that. HOORAY!

I've never sold any of my artwork. I get too emotionally attached to it to give it to someone I don't know personally.

staffell on Jun 09 '06 at 2:56pm

I never accept anything less than $500 for an illustration

mmm...Jones on Jun 09 '06 at 2:57pm

My mom gave me 50 bucks for this picture I drew when I was 8.

Some dude wants 16 pieces off me at four hundred bucks a pop.

Per Danger on Jun 09 '06 at 3:03pm

I give everything free as making art for money is whoring.

Manos on Jun 09 '06 at 3:07pm

£1500 for sites.

$1,875 for an unpublished childrens book...
always looking for freelance, but dont get as many projects as i would like. and i bid pretty low, [for professional level work]
and i guess my illustration/design is all over the place, as far as style/subjects...i think variety can really hurt saleability

no one wants to pay what stuff is worth, you either end up making below minimum wage, or just extremely undervalueing the skill/talent/education/training/practice that it took to get to the level of being able to create something in a short time.

Flow, Prom.

hogboy on Jun 09 '06 at 3:46pm

I've also done designs for The Allyance & Westbeach(who just went under without paying me.... bastards)

Manos on Jun 09 '06 at 3:51pm

^^ hate those *uckers who don't pay for this or that reason.

It happened to me once and since then I've learned to take an ammount of money up front and then the rest. plus I don't give them any concepts at hand unless they pay the full ammount cause the bastard who didn't pay me took my concepts gave them to some other designer/printer and made up his posters and catalagues without me knowing.
