BlueXIV's Commissions

Changing prices probably wouldn't affect commissioners much; we're all pretty much made of money. Haha when more of us realize that you'll regret that admission! xDDDD

Time is meaningless when quality is at stake. Of course, it's not at my own expense, but you should take all the time you need for art. Always. If it takes BlueXIV that much time to do a commission, and if his/her art is of high enough quality, then it makes sense to raise the bar in order to prevent being swamped by commissions. Furthermore, it also makes sense for Blue to raise prices if people are willing to pay it. I also disagree with your sentiment that everyone here is made of money - I definitely think many are not, although there are a few who are rich. If Blue was charging 800-1 mil a commission, would you be so quick to buy one?

Your second statement is also false. Although quality is important, there comes a point where the returns from time invested is not really acceptable. Indeed, it is not a given that there is a strict linear relationship between time invested and quality.

I think many artists would also disagree that time is meaningless. Their time is important, they are doing work for a client who is only paying them a certain flat fee, and therefore it is in their interest to limit the amount of time they spend on a particular work unless they have some sort of extra personal interest vested in it.
