Graphic pricing question

I only charge 10mil for each graphic ordered from me. But I know every other graphic artist charges at least 30mil. So my question is this: do I charge too low for the quality and time it takes to do my work? If you're a fellow graphic artist, How much would you charge for an image like these?

If you're just a potential customer, How much would you be willing to spend on a graphic like any of these?

This is really my only service to get hpd too and I don't get many orders either. Please help me get better so maybe I can attract more customers.

So firstly, I love that you often have very specific concepts for your pieces and that you really work to shape them around the theme of their names; it makes them very unique in their own right.

The thing that jumps out at me is that there's a bit of a lack of coherency between the different stock images that you bring together for a manip? i.e. the horse's don't look as if they belong on the BG. However there are ways to work on the stock that you use so that they meld together a little better; these can be things like colour adjustments, subtly softening the edges of the horse so that it looks neither stark nor blurry, playing with lighting and shadows, etc. There are loads of different things - depending on the software that you use - that can be done to help bring everything together a little bit more. It is... a constant learning process and the little, tedious things are often the things that make the biggest difference, annoyingly.

Hope that makes sense; feel free to drop me a line if you have any questions, I'm no pro but I'll help where I can!

Im not very good on the PC period let alone graphics, but if the person who ordered the graphic wanted the horse in the clouds then thats what you gave them, I only go on what I like and I guess I dont look at all the little things. I would pay more for graphics if I could and I think yours are just as good if not better than some Ive seen in the auctions and they want more for theirs than what your asking.

So, I could critique, but Uta nailed it right on the head.  I love your concepts, but the overall effect does need work.

As such, 10 mill seems a fair price.

If you want to push for more work, I would do auctions for some and build skill that way?
