Hey Neo, do you know what the going rate per page is? This guy wants me do a comic commission and I got no idea what to charge per page for that kind of thing...

Colored with my left.
:iconneocene:
it often depends on your level of artwork. Pro artists working in the business get around 150-165 per page. Amatuers are around 75-100. If they want super detailed backgrounds you can up your price accordingly. However anything under 60 a page isn't worth it for the time invested. If they want you to ink and color it as well, you can charge up to 300.00 a page. If you got anymore questions feel free to hit me up.
