erm ?1 for a single strip..sorry but that soudns unreasonable to me..illm abstain from voting...only because i always do my own paiting anjd i like the results...
lol!
I charge up to 10 times that depending on the quality required! (That is, however, for quality matching that of my Golden Demon Winning Epic Logan)
?1 a strip makes me glad I'm getting out of the game, as I could never afford to compete with that, even if my standards are higher (no offence intended - your stuff is very nice!).
In defence of Angel Barracks:
You have to think about the time involved & the time involved in non-earning work too. There's a lot of admin, quotes that never turn into jobs, promo & email time which you dont get paid for, not to mention research. I use to reckon 30% of my time was essential work, that didn't earn me any money.
Then what wage you expect people to be earning. If ?1 a strip was being earnt in the UK, by a full time painter like I have been, you'd be looking at 10 strips an hour, pretty much a miniature a minute. Thats an impressive rate!
Having said all that, I am no longer taking regular commissions, and its nice to see another painting service who specialise in 6mm work & at what I think is a very reasonable price for basic gaming standard.
Good luck breaking into the epic / sci fi scene as well. I'll still be selling Pre-painted DRM armies over the coming months, so here's a shake of the hands in case we end up "in competition" ?
?
...good or bad!
