No way, man. Consider your time and materials. How much do you make an hour at your job? Or how much does a normal person make? How long does it take you to paint a mini? If it's an hour, you should be charging at least what you make an hour. Plus paints. Get what your time is worth. You can take off a little bit if they are a friend or you REALLY wanna take a job, but you cant get screwed for your time.

[@oORoOFLOo]

yeah it depedns on what country you are in

[@Nuuboat]

There is a reason why most people only put in the hours on their lords and monsters and basicaly only drybrushes the regular soldiers. It's the time, and if someone wants their soldiers to have the same detail as their lords and monsters then they either put in the time or pay someone else to put in the time. I kinda lost my chain of thought there.. but the point is, if you want a deluxe lord dont just pay for soldier quality. And you shouldnt paint deluxe quality on people who is paying you to paint their soldiers. Even tho it's painfull not to give every mini your full skill. No, if you only get payed 7.50 id say you owe them clean paint, clean lines, basic shade and basic highlight. No gem facetes, no glass lenses, directional lights, battle scars, or rust (beyond maybe using texture pains. But that's maybe). If someone were to pay you 50 dollar, then you could give them the whole package, but then you should also have the skill to justify the price.

It's a fair commission. If you think it's not, then you're using the platform wrong. Bear in mind that Fiverr doesn't get commission on any repeat business, only the first order.

[@Re4derTheGlorious]

If it's too much then good luck finding clients on your own, lol. Also consider that fiverr at core is meant for digital work, so it does not need shipping fee.

[@booradley6832]

I mean fiverr is okay as a networking site. Find someone on there, like their work or inversely them as a customer and then start doing things via paypal/check/other method. That 25% is to cover creating the platform, fraud protection, work integrity and other things. I dont "Agree' with that cut but I also think that people should be looking to abandon the site asap once they get a little networking done.

[@commandercaptain4664]

@uncletigger That's not much of a compromise when only one side determines this for the other.

[@fakshen1973]

I think for all the artists involved it really gives them a baseline as to what their competitors are doing and the quality of work they are actually sending out for the price. I think in future videos you might want to reference their work back to their samples at the same price point (if available) and see if it exceeds, matches, or is below their examples.

Hey man, it's me, the guy who made a completely misjudged comment on your latest video about the medieval scenery. Realising how shitty it sounded despite no intention of being that way, I thought I'd extend my apologies even further by rating my top 3 videos of yours that helped me find love for the hobby again. So here goes! This is actually the first video of yours I ever watched, I stumbled across it while searching for inspiring content. The anticipation of seeing how the models came out kept me hooked. I also like how you analyse people's work without sounding super critical (something I lacked with my comment) even though not all requirements were met.

Love them all, with each showing the painters different styles.

I'm posting this comment so that the algorithm see's viewer engagement.

The main thing i learned from seeing those minis is that I'm in the wrong line of work.

"This guy knows how to do business!" The guy who asks for $25 Fiverr takes 25% - left with $19 pays for shipping from pocket, -$15, left with $4 pays for paint materials, lets say he only uses $3 worth of materials. gets paid a whopping $1 for his effort and work that doesn't even really cover for the time talking with you let alone actual paint job and skill. yeah, flawless business strategy. The only person here with business sense is Devpaints :"3

[@christophercant]

The whole discipline seems so underpaid, I don't know how anyone can make a decent living at it unless they live somewhere extremely cheap. Even the guy charging $100, his hourly rate was still probably low.

[@moos5221]

Very true. I understand that squidmar wants to settle for a low price and that includes all shipping, etc. But the artists work time is extremely underpaid in these offers. Squidmar kind of makes fun of the artist describing himself as passionate, but I think you can only do these offers if you are really passionate about doing them and painting them just for the fun, because the prices are never fair at this level.

[@chrissre7935]

15$ for a small package like this?

[@chrissre7935]

@@christophercant It is underpaid because other artists dont value they work. You will find someone that will make that cheaper or for him it is a hobby etc.

[@MG-wx9ib]

@Lemazive They didnt know this will happen... from what they seen this is some random dude asking for them to paint. Like this is what they get paid when a customer buys this. Basically nothing. Yes this time it was different but the comment was made to point out how underpaid this is. You not seeing this is... quite sad really.

[@MiaogisTeas]

Jesus, we used to pay that much in NZ just for a set of minis, let alone getting someone else to paint them for us 🤣

Good work from all commissioners, yellow the dreaded colour. Enjoyed the video :)

i dont have anything to do with warhammer anymore, but if you are an artist like this in any branche: this is the perfect test for you to shine!

Am happy the little guy woke up, he's adorable!

[@Johannes_W]

Been more than ten years since I painted my last mini, but the algorithm definitely knew I had to see this and even I was a WH fantasy guy, this was a very enjoyable video :D

[@SquidmarMiniatures]

Awesome man, come back 😁

[@yvonnesamaniego8114]

Same here. I painted some sets for my young son. Friends and family thought I should do it professionally but nah. This was just a work of love. My boy is now going to college. I loved this video. So much talent there.

[@Lydeliini]

Accidentally landed to this video and I'm not even really interested of Warhammers but I watched the video just because the host is so cute! 😍

[@Ultr4l0f]

Yeah, thank god. Most nerds on youtube arent exactly good looking. Good to have Atleast one dude not making The rest of us nerds look bad.
