Is it really? That's a shit ton to pay for just a blanket.

[@ReddCrystal]

@@Malus1531 Please, don't tell me.....DON'T TELL ME! You agreed with the guy? The crocheter made some good points but I can see a non-artist or non-creative person doing this. You see, no matter the material, if it's a blanket, a digital drawing that only exists as code, or a goddamn video game or movie, beyond just the costs of making something, there is the cost of your time. No matter what, if you do not WANT to make it, then your time is being wasted making it. Money, or other compensation can help with that, and can make it so your time was worth it. Artists have shit to do. We have LIVES to LIVE. So from your perspective, it is a shit ton for a blanket. But it IS a hand made, full wool (FROM A GODDAMN ANIMAL) and it will take TIME and EFFORT to make. It is just like any job. If YOU are putting in effort, you should be payed for your effort. You can't just do it for the price of the materials, or else you aren't getting ANYTHING out of it. I have tried crotchet, and it DOES take time. And effort. In the end, this was a long-winded speech to one comment letting out the frustration I have with people who think this way. It is not JUST targeted at you, but I do think that you may not think of it as paying for "just a blanket." but paying for the artists time.

[@Malus1531]

@@ReddCrystal My bad I commented after the first segment, before seeing the second half where the artist explained the price breakdown and how long it took. I get what you're saying. It still is a crazy amount to pay for a blanket imo, but I'm not saying he/she is overcharging.

[@zyriantel9601]

@Cat Egorical I'm not OP, but I imagine the answer is the latter one. People who are willing to scum one artist out of pay for their hard work are perfectly willing to then turn around and scam other people of other professions out of pay for THEIR hard work, and in fact, I suspect many of such individuals try and scam artists who offer reasonable commission prices as a sort of "testing the waters" to see how much crap they can pull past the radar before they get caught. Granted, there probably are some businesses who withhold payment on a first piece in order to see how good the artist is at what's being asked of them, but I suspect they hand over payment at the end one way or another - to compensate the artist's time if it's a no-go, or because they've earned it if they're willing to continue working with that artist. That's the difference between those kinds of companies and these kinds of scumbags.

[@ullalaisi2567]

Very Genius thought process

[@Crosshill]

it could be a nice policy to have a discount for redraws, maybe the people who like your work would be more likely to buy another artwork from you, just to have their treasured commission be up to date. people would probably be more likely to consider commissioning a re-draw if you advertise a discount

[@Animatonics]

Entraya Crosshill ??? But what you have to keep in mind is that usually with an improvement of style comes a much longer time spent on the commission as well as raise of price. Doing a redraw won't take a shorter amount of time, most likely it'll take significantly longer than the old piece it's based on, so why should someone charge less for a piece that is going to take even longer???

[@Crosshill]

why should they discount? its up to the artist dude im not saying they -should-. its not uncommon to have like 20% off sales, or free shipping campaigns, why should they do that? im not an artist so i dont know what the exact reasons are, but i reckon they do these things to make people think 'oh lets buy a poster now, its free shipping', so having a re-draw campaign could be an idea to entice old fans to buy a commission. its just business -ideas- dude dont freak out

[@Animatonics]

I wasn't freaking out, merely stating my opinion, because as an artist myself I wouldn't offer discounts to anyone excepting close friends purely because of the amount of work that goes into it. Sure it's a good business campaign, but unless you had commissions selling consistently most artists couldn't afford to do that kind of thing if it is something they're making a living off. (Retail stores or the like can afford sales like that because they're not the ones sitting there painstaking over a single piece of work for hours, it's much different when it comes to art.) I'm not trying to argue for the sake of arguing or anything, I honestly just wanted to hear your reasoning because doing that kind of thing for cheaper/free (in the case of the video) isn't something that a lot of artists would consider. Thanks for explaining why you thought that :)

Yeah a super “generous” offer of $70 let’s see, so if the yarn is $160 at full price then you would need a over 50% sale just for the $70 to cover the cost of the wool and then 120-150 hours of stitching without any pay. So that’s what generosity is huh? I see... Ok so now let’s do some math, assuming we give this person $10 an hour (about minimum wage) then it’ll come out to $1360-$1660. Hmmm... ok well since they’re not professional the what about $5 an hour? Let’s see... 120 X 5 + 160 = $760 150 X 5 + 160 = $910 So it should be about $760-$1660 which means that $400 is kind of a steal of a deal!

Digital Unity eh, the walmart analogy was the stupidest thing in the video. Walmart is a megacompany, the biggest supermarket corporation ever, having a candybar stolen, a very low value item, means nothing to them. In comparison to the artist, it's making it out like he could make a trillion of those o's, and if one was stolen, he wouldn't notice, making it a low effort proposition. It's making it seem like his art process is much easier than it is.

When I use to be on Deviantart, I did commissions for 10 points. Which is like, 10 cents in real life. I just like drawing other people's OCs and stuff, so I set my price pretty low. This kid asked for a commission (On their profile, it said they were 9). I agreed, but seeing their age, I had my guard up because it's not my first time for a kid to ask art from me. The kid wanted me to draw their FNAF OC in a chibi style. I was still in the FNAF fandom at that time, so I allowed commissions with furries in them. I told them the price (10 cents) , and they started angry at me for "scamming" them. They were only 9, so they weren't allowed on deviantart in the first place. They got blocked in the end.

Fun fact: as soon as you put pen to paper, you own the copyright as long as it's original work and not done under contract. The only time you would need to register a copyright is if you plan to sue for damages.

[@andrewwiggin4101]

Technically, you're right. The moment you make something, it's yous. the copyright doesn't grant ownership. However, it DOES create verifiable proof of ownership. If you don't go out and get it, then if someone steals it, good luck proving you made it. I highly recommend everyone copyright everything they do. A cool loophole for people trying to save money (it's 35$ per copyright) you can create a "collection" and copyright the entire collection as a whole. So I got a copyright on a few hundred photos, for the price of one. Also, a common misunderstanding is that many people intentionally don't copywrite their work because they want to share it with others for free. You can still do this with a copyright. It changes nothing other than giving you the ability to to prove that you made it in case you ever want to prove that.

[@Blossommoon64]

"Good luck trying to prove that you made jt" Do you know how easy it is to do this? Art get stolen all the time and artists always get them back.This happens because of art styles and lables on the art itself. Just look it up, it's so easy.

[@hotnessgaming1396]

Tell that to philo

[@Kemii]

I can easily prove it haha. I always keep my files and never show the different files without a huge watermark saying my name on them. That way, even if people took an unwatermarked image, I'd still have proof from posted date, style, and files. The magic of digital art. But I guess for traditional art it would be a bit harder to do. You could always right your name on with pen but if the artist owned the copy they could write their name on it and act like you vandalised your name on

[@autumnfrost-art]

The base thing at around 5:58 is complicated - they are being overdramatic though. For those who don't frequent art/fandom spaces, a base is a piece made exclusively to be used by others. If you've ever seen those MS Paint anime girls with no hair on google images, that's probably a base. It's basically tracing, but the artist has given everyone permission to do so. You should never assume something is a base without checking, but they can also take the form of normal lineart. They're usually made to help people who aren't able to draw so well on their own yet and can be great learning tools. The intent is usually a mixture of that and a form of self-promotion by an artist to get their style more recognized. It's like you got a coloring book and the payment is loudly stating the artist's name every time you show it to someone. The key thing here is that when an artist makes a base, they are usually expecting to be directly credited for the work. It's self-promotion, so they're going to want their name on it even if you've made a bunch of changes. The issue comes in when people don't do this. "Base not mine" is a common thing to see and it infuriates artists everywhere. I get the idea that the real reason this person is ranting is that they have been either incorrectly crediting bases or have been using non-bases as bases without the artists knowledge.

I showed my mother the crochet blanket one because she does them and she said that $400 is super reasonable for all the work that he's asking for and materials $800.00 should've been the upfront price! 😂😂😂

[@neonconfection]

Jeannine K that's what I was thinking. A custom made queen sized blanket. I was thinking, if this was a professional thing, it would be at least $13.78 an hour for that kind of work. 150 hours (around 5 hours a day over 4 weeks) becomes $2067 and then the cost of materials on top. I'm a British designer and I would say that £10/$13.78 an hour for commissioned custom work like that is more than reasonable when approaching someone doing professional level work that you specifically ask for. Like if you want something cheap, go to a gift shop or Walmart. The blankets there are still nice. Custom made is always more expensive. Mass production is easier to sell cheaply. Are people seriously missing this point...

Lee Alexander I think he meant he wouldn't get a handmade custom blanket in the first place. After all, a blanket is a blanket. 400$ is more than reasonable for custom handmade yada yada, but its still a blanket. A blanket can be gotten waaay cheaper if you're willing to drop the yada yada and go generic

Ryan Walsh so true 😂

[@erynsmerch3]

Same here. I decided enough was enough when I spent 3 solid days doing a tattoo design for my cousin. She asked me to send pictures every five minutes (not an exaggeration). Constantly texting me about it, kept changing her mind and beating around the bush. She had a clear idea in her head but gave me vague descriptions. She was rude and pushy and kept guilting me to work faster and kept trying to tell me how to do my job. I had about 3 hours sleep altogether because I couldn't say no and my family were pressuring me to be nice to her and do what she wanted. I barely even ate because I was so stressed to get it finished. The ONLY condition I gave her was to research her artist first and get it done properly. She got it done as soon as I finished it, her (not tattoo artist) friend did it for her with a cheap gun. Her friend had re-designed it and the whole thing looked god-awful. I wake up to see she credited me for it on ALL social media. Man, I untagged myself and blocked that bitch. Never done anything for free since and never will again. Ps. I asked her not to credit me in the beginning because I didn't want other people asking me for free work

Rexyr really? I see the voices as being indicative of classic manipulation, where the good guys sound normal and relatable, while the bad guys sound stupid or different. It’s pretty low and takes the humor out of the posts. It’d be more funny if he had them all sound relatively like normal voices, because then he’d be focusing on the absurdity of the posts without resorting to treating us like toddlers who can’t understand that a person is a bad guy without a funny voice.

The price gets doubled. They complain more and call me a bunch of names? Doubled again!!! Eventually it ends with me just putting “either pay me £10,000 for your 4 hour event or leave me the hell alone” and honestly it never fails to make me laugh

@@yaboitroy4101 If it takes time to do something that someone can't do, they need to pay well for it. $50 sounds like a lot of money, but the software is $100/month + time it takes to stich and add transitions. I feel that $50 is reasonable, any less almost isn't worth the time to download everything, edit, export, then send the video back. It is an opinion of course!
