http://bela-designs.deviantart.com/gallery/ These are my grapahics, what you think they're worth here? I started out on horseland and i priced them over there, currently at 25-30 thousand coins. I don't know yet how to code any layouts i'd make here.

These are really good! You're very imaginative.

 

 

 

The best advice I have is really to throw some things in the graphic auctions over a couple weeks, see what people are willing to pay and then average it for your custom orders. The graphic market isn't as stable as one would like as far as pricing goes, and it can vary pretty wildly what people are willing to pay week to week, or even if anyone's really bidding. So don't get discouraged!

 

 

 

They'll generally pay more at auction than they will just ordering if there's any kind of bidding going on. So that midday e point is a good start.

 

Also, there's a market of coders here that are usually willing to code layouts for you, using your graphics. Some have set prices, I know I just ask for a general percentage of what the piece sold for. Something to consider.

I love your work! In fact I noticed you on dA the other day when you were given an honourable mention in the passion equine contest.

 

My favourite manip styles of yours are The Ice King, Alibaba, Hii!, Zodiac, Aeon, your flag horses.. and it looks like I'm about to name too many hahaha!

 

I could see them selling for 80-120 mill or even more depending on the detail! I agree with Chaotic, you should put something in the auction and see how it goes.

 

Looks I've got some competition on my hands xD

I agree with both Chao & Aphro.  Your best bet is to just through something up and auctions and see how it goes!  A lot of the graphic market really depends on what is popular, what people's tastes are, and it can vary from time to time.  Maybe through up one you have already created just to see how it goes.

Also!  If you are interested in creating something new to throw in graphic auctions there's a thread dedicated to what people are currently looking for here:

You might check that out for some ideas!  Love your work BTW! ☺

Your work is amazing!  Some of them are a little hard to see on my monitor because they are quite dark, but they are really, truly wonderful.  Definitely, and sadly, out of my price range!  Haha

I do agree with everyone else here. Your manes and tails are excellent. You really seem to excel at the darker ones, especially. Your lighting is very good and something I know you will absolutely perfect in time. You have great potential. 

 

If I had one criticism, it would be this: your horses are over-smudged. It makes them look cartoony and the lighting and hair don't quite match. They look more realistic. I would suggest a little less smudge (maybe only smudging on 15%) and using black and white brushes on a soft light or overlay (whichever works best with your lighting) to accent the facial features and slightly accentuate the muscle tones. :3 

 

best of luck in the auctions! I'm terrible at pricing. Lol!
