wading into this one - a lot of furries have no clue what art should be priced at. It doesn't help that some non furry employers/commissioners cheap out too, some fans are well paid enough to pay fairly, and some artists have self-worth stuff which keeps them from charging more.

There's a confusing mix of artists charging less than they should, artists charging fairly but who seem hugely pricey by comparison, and maybe the real people charging too much aren't artists but say supermarket chains.

not that I would know of course, my response to "I wish I could commission awesome art" was to try and become an artist, and honestly I still wish I could spend money to get art by my peers who are better at it than I am.

@Leucrotta ... This is a hecking mood right here. That's why we're learning, too; well, that plus a side of "any art I get changes my self-image to match, so I'm unsure if I want to commission art from someone else in the first place".
