Chic@s os voy a dar un consejo gratis... Y mira que últimamente pocas cosas lo son.
El mundo del arte es muy pequeño.
Si trabajas en tu técnica, con el tiempo mejorarás, por eso no te preocupes. Poco a poco podrás cobrar más por tu trabajo.
En twitter, y en todas las redes en general, la mayoría de los usuarios son silenciosos.
Entre toda esa gente silenciosa hay otros compañeros, gente que disfruta de lo que hacemos.
Y editores.
Y dueños de empresas.
Y gente con proyectos increíbles donde a todos nos gustaría participar.
¿Y sabes qué mundo es más pequeño todavía que el de los artistas?
El del circuito empresarial que necesita arte para su funcionamiento.
Es muy normal que en sectores como los videojuegos, los juegos de mesa, las editoriales... Se conozcan todos o casi todos entre ellos.
Y sí, buscan talento. Y se lo recomiendan entre ellos, es super normal.
Pero no solo talento. Hablan de cómo es la persona que recomiendan, si es profesional o no, si entrega las cosas cuando toca, si es agradable...esas cosas.
Y sabes lo que es una pésima señal?? Rajar de otros artistas en internet. Y lo que es peor, compararte con ellos y dejar en manifiesto que tú haces algo mejor que el otro, en cualquier sentido.
Es un comportamiento desagradable. Y de idiota.
Si no te portas bien porque no eres buena compañero o directamente buena persona, al menos hazlo por quién pueda estar mirando.
Que ni para ser malos servís.
Para ser malo hace falta ser un poquito listo.
There used to be a data base/anonymous survey resource thing for artists to share their rates for different types of jobs, what happened to it?
I can’t even remember the name of it anymore, did it get deleted?

Baseline $1200 for independent artist based designer toys. Can shift depending on complexity.
Most projects roll in from a variety of clients in the $2k to $6k range.
Occasionally fat projects roll in - they can hit $20k, $50k and even a full $100k. Rare though. Not predictable. Point is, don't count on them, but don't be shy about pricing when it's fair for the big ones. Don't undersell yourself. Be calm, know yourself and talk it through with the client.
What does the client get? Not just 3d models. Full blown project assistance, industry guidance, realtime screensharing for review, manufacturing best practices and interfacing with the factories, copyright transfer, work files, preview renders for promotion.
Not everyone needs all that - I also recommend less expensive sculptors when a potential client can't afford me. I pay attention to my friends, where they are positioned and what their capabilities are.
Also, sometimes I recommend potential clients step back, don't make a toy, build up a fanbase first, save their money. I'd rather pass up on a job, than see someone get stuck with toys they can't sell. I try to be gentle but I've broken some hearts.

"Don't repost my art" and "Don't reupload my fic" are the same thing, I'm confused as to why people are surprised that authors are defensive and protective of their works the same way artists are.
