ITT We post advice on making money off art.>If you're doing art as a hobby this is not a thread for (you)>If you talk about AI art you're going off-topic and should be reported for itLearning about art fundies is nice and all but that's covered in all sorts of tutorials, books, videos, etc. Making money off your art is something that even pros that went to art school struggle with so share advice on how to make it.>My advice is to create fanart to grow on social media then pivot into OC content that you own the IP to make money off merch, patreon, youtube, license to publishers, kickstarter, sell media adaptation rights and whatever else you can do with your IP.
>>7778240Nobody cares about original IP unless you're from Japan, S.Korea, China or a big youtube channel like Glitch and Viviziepop. All the new IPs outside of those cases are box office flops or barely sell issues. Only indie games are worth it.
>>7778240It feels like anons here are hostile to the mere suggestion of monetizing art
>>7778462I think it's because many of anons here are beginners who have an idealized view of drawing as a hobby. Then there are anons who consider themselves serious artists and can't accept that not all art is created purely for artistic expression. But don't take my word for it. Even I feel like I'm generalizing and talking bullshit.
>>7778240Why should I help internet strangers to make money from art lol? The competition is already bad enough.
>>7778240>books written by washouts who couldn't make money with art and needed to grift hopeful retardslol
>>7778556What should I read then, anon?
>>7778570those books written by successful artistsoh wait, they don't write books, they drawhmmmmmmmm
How do you typically charge for comic-related commissions? I've thought of three ways to handle this, but I'm not sure which is best.>$100 or $120 per comic book page, with a limit of nine panels per page>$20 or $25 per panel with a minimum of three panels per page>the same idea as above, but if the page has more than six panels, the price remains at $120I've seen people set limits on the number of characters per panel. I don't know if that's a good idea, although I admit it's annoying to work on panels with more than five or six characters.
>>77785409 billion people and you think you are important enough to compete for attention of every single one of them.In my medical opinion; NPD>>7778240skill doesn't matter, it's the topic that sells or promotes, and if you pick easy enough topic for your skills to handle, it multiplies your chance of being reposted, doesn't increase it.Saying this as someone who every day grinds out to get better at painting, I really should stop worrying about being good enough and just try to make interesting stuff and post it.Interesting isn't high quality.

Then there are anons who consider themselves serious artists and can't accept that not all art is created purely for artistic expression. It's the overall attitude of 4chan in general, they're cynical losers and this is a crab bucket. The only ones who are making any money are those who take it seriously and they're all in the NSFW threads.
