Hello,

I need some advice. I'm struggling to price my commissions.

I price in GBP (unfortunately I am Bri'ish), and i've realised that means my prices are SUPER INFLATED for anyone outside the UK. Pricing my flatcolour busts at £30 seems reasonable until I consider that converts to $38 USD, and then $58 USD if you add shading -- not even a full render, just standard shading. That's fucking outrageous. No wonder I get no orders. I'm at a loss for what to do about it because if I lower the prices to cater for international clients (which, let's be real, is every client), I won't be getting much in return... but if I keep them the way they are, I fear I won't get any commissions at all. I know I wouldn't order a commission at that price -- I just don't have the funds, and I imagine other folks on VGen are in a similar boat.

I genuinely have no idea what to do. It feels like I'm losing either way, because no matter what I do I'm not going to make any money from my art. I don't want to have to get like £15 in return for hours and hours of work, but it's either that or not getting any orders at all.

Any advice or input is welcome.

Wen
