Concept / item graphice art rates???

[Thujon]

Hello

I dont know if this has already been asked ( I am sure of it though ) , but I cant find any thread about it... if anyone can point me in the right direction, id be awosmly thankful for it.

I am commisoned to do character concepts and some item graphics. This is great, but I really dont know how much money I should / can take for one picture... as a freelancer it is a question of importance....so if someone could give some advice on this one, it would be great!

Thanks in advance!

Seeing as you are in Bern, do you have a local artist guild? Many of them have a price guideline and it varies from place to place.
