[Mkguild] Group picture

[C. Matthias]

I emailed SabretoothErmine with our basic group picture idea and 
asked her want she would charge if we were interested.  Here is her reply:

Heya Matthias! I would be honored to do a picture like that ^.^ I 
could give you a deal on a silver-level painting commission (my 
<http://www.furaffinity.net/view/13420017/>price chart has some 
examples), since that would be the style I'd prefer to use for it. 
I'd rather not use the "toony color" style as doing large groups in 
that style is super finnicky and takes forever >.< For a cheaper 
option, the "colored sketch" style would work well too, but I'm 
hesitant about using the bronze-level painting as it tends to be a 
messy, chaotic arting process and would easily get super confusing 
with too many characters. I'll give you some quotes:

Silver painting - $50 per character, and if there's eight or more 
characters I'll do the background for free. Seven or less, the 
background would be the standard price, between $30 and $50 depending 
on complexity.
Colored sketch - $25 per character. Normally I don't do backgrounds 
for colored sketch pieces, but if you want one I'm willing to do it, 
whether it's a quick, sketchy background or a full shaded one (the 
latter being the same as I'd do for the silver painting option, and 
with the same price tag).

While normally I would adjust the per-character prices on an 
individual basis for complexity (so people with very complex 
characters would pay more like $60, while very simple characters - 
feral animals are a good example, as they don't wear clothing and are 
often smaller - would pay $40), for a large group commission like 
this I figure it's easier to charge you, the group, a flat rate, and 
let you work out the dividing of payments between yourselves. Does 
that sound fair?

Feel free to forward this around your group and let me know what you 
guys think. And thanks for thinking of me! ^.^

So yes, she would give a discount, as her Silver painting is usually 
$70 per character instead of $50.  So if we want her level (and I 
love her stuff and think she'd do a great MK group picture) we're 
looking at about $350 for six (plus background) to $400 for eight 
characters.  If we did that many, I recommend a landscape orientation 
so that the characters actually have room to be seen.

So, there's one possibility and the cost involved.

May He bless you and keep you in His grace and love,

Charles Matthias
