ZVT Best advice I can give is make sure you dont under quote for a job.As far as what to quote take the amount of time you spend on a rendering plus materials and give them a price from there.

I agree with Ben bout the 200-250 range is good thats where I am.It also depends on how much work goes into it...

Think of it as a business not just a hobby anymore cus once you start getting paid thats what it is...

I like Zee's reply!


The lowest I have heard in a professional sense is $50 per hour. That is really cheap. "Illustrators" can make from $50 to $200 an hour, minimum.
Now if you break that down...from an eight hour project you are making: $31.25
per hour for eight hours of work for $250.00. If you consider yourself less than professional, then it is okay. Please do not take any of this as an insult but artists tend to not put a "valued" price on their work. I have done many "freebies" myself.

My wife owns her own daycare. She has to see it as a business and nothing else. People try to take advantage of her a lot. She has learned to stand firm.
