My friend commissioned an artist for a certain price, I would like to hear your guys opinion on this artist skill level and the price that you think fits an illustration like this. Just to compare it with the amounts my friends are paying for
>>8016686i wouldnt pay for porn
>>8016686looooong looooong maaaaaaan
>>8016686beginner coom slop
Another person who tries to learn rendering before they get fundies down.this is like 70% of /ic/
>>8016686/int/ level, could be worth it if he got it fast.
>>8016695Nice
>>8016686I wouldn't pay more than 10 dollars for that and even at that price I would rethink it multiple MULTIPLE timesBy the way, does your friend's name happen to start with the letter F?
>>8016686mid-/beg/ by the books
>>8016728>before they get fundies down. It's clear that the artist has trained some fundamental skills. Looks like he got lazy with the guy's anatomy, which is somewhat typical for porn.
it’s literally worth whatever he paid for it. the complex situation that results in an artist pricing their work in a certain way might be shaped by a million factors, and could easily seem strangely high or low to a casual passerby, while actually making perfect sense, based off of the said artist’s background and reason for offering this specific set of commission slots. the only really concrete rule of thumb there is for pricing art, is testing out your prices by if you get too many requests, you raise it, and if you get too few, you lower it. so, in this situation, if your friend wanted that commission slot badly enough to pay the stated price, that stated price is exactly right. if the results they could expect in advance were pretty close-ish to as advertised, and they didn’t feel so uncomfortable with the price that they gave it a pass, it was worth it to them, and a mutually acceptable transaction, making that just the right price.the shit thing about art is that pretty much nothing, including pricing, is as clean and clear as everyone might find relieving, not excluding the artists who are trying to fish in the nebulous dark to concretely work out how to efficiently improve on their skill, somehow, if that’s even quantifiable. tldr’ing to the max
The anatomy is a bit fucked up and the perspective dogshit, that guy is standing in a different time zone, but I could see it go for about 40$
>>8016686Either high /beg/ or low /int/ if we’re being generous>>8016728Looks like they should have tried a little harder!
>>8016898mid /beg/ tops, you're part of the problem if you even think this gets close to int
>>8017167Go fuck yourself, I don’t care if you’re just trolling, I’ve run out of patience dealing with obnoxious shit stains like you
>>8016686>no background>female figure appears to have ape arms, ribcage fuses directly into pelvis, tail is poorly rendered>male figure clearly drawn on another layer, poor attempt to put them on the same planeYou say people pay for this? What's the minimum hourly wage in your area? Halve that.
>>8016686I don't know bro.Male body doesn't look very good, female is better still lacks but it looks nice because of rendering... int at best.
>>8017303Yeah the male body is straight up beg but the girl’s body is noticeably better, almost like they were drawn by two different people kek
>>8016822Cool take.
>>8016686prebeg
>>8016686>that fox girlgiwtwm
>>8017171Nta but he's right. He's blunt but honest. An intermediate would at least get proportions right, have general fundamental knowledge of perspective and anatomy to the point that they can at least block in bigger muscle shapes and be aware of underlying skeletal construction to some degree . This is more like an illustration of melting gelatinous humanoids in stiff unnatural poses with some simple colors slapped on top. No bounce lighting or deeper understanding of color, tones subsurface scattering. Values are off. On and on and on and on. This is classic dunning krueger effect where you feel vindicated by lashing out because you think you're competent enough to evaluate this painting meanwhile you're more akin to someone who maybe has a couple of hiking trips under his belt, or some dude who's worked out for 8 months lecturing people on proper form. And it's ofc painfully obvious for those who are more advanced and experienced that you're speaking from a point of ignorance.Not saying this to be rude; it's simply the truth. Many times on my own journey I've looked at my work and come to the conclusion that's it's shit. Giving up on that belief that held me back and starting over. Humility. That way your ego won't get in the way of you truly giving it your best shot. Truly trying to realize your potential.To each their own I guess. I won't even come back here and engage in a debate full of self righteous ad-hominem hurling and whatnot. He's a beginner and that's ok. We were all beginners at some point. Anyway wish you all the best. It's rough out here but let's make the best of it right?
>>8016686Beginner with drawing experience that polishes turds.high beg, by dumb ic standards
>>8016719this is mid-INT in my opinion. anatomy, perspective, and proportions are passable, but details are flat (especially the face), and the shading could be smoother. also, the female character appears to be fairly large compared to the male (not that i'm complaining, but a tall female might not be what the artist intended).OP should have posted a genuine anthro girl instead of this diet furry troonime shit, though.
>>8016686The male ranges from low beg to middle beg. His left hand is the best drawn part of his body; the artist probably draw that early on.The girl ranges from beg to int. Her arms are bad, but the lower torso is decent.The strongest part of this piece is the rendering. Like many have already said, the artist has varying degrees of mastery of fundamentals, but he covers it with rendering (i.e. a "turd polisher"). Hair and tail rendering in particular are the strongest parts of this drawing.So even though I'd put this piece as a low int at most (and somewhere near beg if it was just line art), that doesn't mean the artist himself is at that skill level. I'd wager his artworks vary between each other from mid beg to mid int. This sort of large variation is usually a trait of beginners, so my final answer is "beginner".
this nigger said mid int
>>8016686It does the job even though its sloppy 10/10
