[Mkguild] Group picture

[christian okane]

I like the art Sabertooth does but the price is kind of steep.

 

 

Comments?

To be clear, by the way, if we did go with this I would be willing to help
cover one NPC myself if no character of mine made it into the picture.

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 price chart
<http://www.furaffinity.net/view/13420017/>  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
