It's a sad fact that lots of artists are not paid what they deserve - and nothing near enough to make a living out of it. This is, and has always been, true. :-( (Sad)


(This are the Range for Professional COmics Comissions Rates )

Pencils - $50 - $400

Inks - $30 - $200

Colours - $30 - $200

Writers - $30 - $150

It's a big range! With the expectation of four pages a week the low end is not sustainable as a means to make a living. Somewhere is the middle of these numbers is your average set of rates, and there rare exceptions who make even more!

Hope that helps!

That was a very interesting Comment.

Been 20 years asking that to professionals, and you were the first one to be straightforward about the subject.

Thanks so much.

w00t!

PS: Daaamm.. That was Spiçy ! I was taking 1$ to 2$ For hour by any work people would commission me .. cause i tought people would not pay more: OMG - I HAVE BEEN LEECHED All my life !!! Lol ! That is so common isnt ... Lets get this MOTIONBOOKS Revolution Coming ... Who knows is the sole Most proper solution for Indie Comic Artists make some money on their own, With more QUality Media Results and With a very own special Direct Conection & Contact to the public without all those vultures underRatting our art... 


Giggle

PsPs: Im so happy to hear God Killers is coming in Motion books.
- That Very best Literary production yours Changed my life Reaaly !

Glomp!

All the Very BEst Mister LIam SHarp !

LONG ANSWER / Almost like the Whole Lecture ...





YES ! We artists been Underrated In all ways By the Economics World !


THATS EXACTLY WHY WE NEED TO MORE THAN EVER UNITE !! AND TOGETHER MUST FIND A BETTER WAY !!

A Virtual Online community like deviant art ... And a Little bit of socially and creatively kind & caring help with each-others, Pave the Platforms in That Way !

THE UNION MAKES THE STRENGTH !

There is just need a lot of Mutual Work .

Each one in each own project. For itself and its own dreams.
And All for All ! Everyone Helping a Bigger project For a Common Goal !

That is what i Always envisioned. 
On the Hardest way.  Since many years ago.

I'm so Glad to see others reaching That productive Achievement With all those better Ideas in the Form of a Company.


:iconmadefire:


BUT DREAMS ARE NEVER ENOUGH ...

Beside Iv Been one of the persons That never in my Whole life and 28 years of being and Artist it was possible for me to make a Living out of this .... Dreamy things as Living By its own ART  

But i Have Found In The hard and worst way also That: There is the need of More than good Ideals / More than Good Altruist Vision ...

- To Achieve And Raise a Good Successful Art project to Be done / there is the need of 200% or 300% more efforts Than in other common Professions To reach the Quality Goal To make it Sell.

In Art There is no Selling Gimmicks That Make it or not. There is Enough Deep Qualities In the Work of art That Reach in all ways All kinds of people or not. ANd that's it. 

---

ANd that is a Fact Especially this Days / That The quality Bar is so extremely high.
And therefore the Only ones that Really Sell are big Studios that have 150 Employees Working in 1 title. To make By the Forçe of money That brings Union and joins Creativity And achieves kind of Unbelievable things. On those Big STudios That Spoil The Public For all us Outhere ...

People In the Entertainment field are too much Often Spoiled WIth the Case of Games/Movies that push the Bar Graphically to a level That would be difficult to imagine 10 years ago .  

---

SO why they would go Spend their money into Lower things as COmics ?
If they Can download from Web all those Pirated Amazing free games ? Great Animation ? Movie Series ?

WE MUST BE SINCERE ...

---

WELL FOR ME THE UNLIMITED CREATIVITY EFFORTS ALWAYS MAKE IT : But even creativity Is Short and Never Enough.

---

AFter much Fought Thought of many years ... FOR ME The Answer is that :

-  The GRAPHIC NOVELS : MEDIUM / Even the Multimedia Novels - Have always the "NOVEL" In it ...

Its Not just the ART / but the BRAINS / The Beyond ALL FEELING / EXPERIENCE / INTELLIGENCE - People need to Make Great Literature Novels ...

To Push the Bar for people Wanting it . And become addict to it ... Like it is and always was tru the centuries in all kind of Pure Best Literature. 

---

If its a MODERN TRUE that TODAY Graphics Achievement is done with GROUPS Of Many persons working in Just 1 title / To achieve the So much needed world level graphic Bar quality needed. 

Its a Common ANCIENT REALITY ... That people That READ GOOD BOOKS .. 
- They Start to Not be able to see And tolerate so many Movies, SO many Series, So many Games, SO many Animation, Even So many Comics ... 

Because their Cultural Intellectual level As well their visionary Imagination Proceeds To Another level - JUST WITH GOOD LITERATURE.

----

SO i Think the MIXING / Of That Almost Chemical fact of The Good Literature. 

And The Pure EFFORT in Make And Bring in the Entertainment field PURE NOVELS As good as Any of the BEst 500 Pages Of the best Novels Made Since ever.

MIXING THAT : To the Grouping Artists Qualities to Achieve Over the Bar Graphical Results ..

ON A NEW KIND OF PLATFORM.

That can mix The , LITERATURE, GRAPHICS, ANIMATION, GAME-PLAY.  
( That Is the way. )

----
SO IM VERY GLAD TO SEE THAT WWW.MADEFIRE.COM / AND MUCH INTELLECTUAL / AMAZING ARTISTS GUYS LIKE YOU ARE PAVING A NEW WAY !

CONGRATULATIONS ! And keep broading the way And making it Larger to All us ...

THANK YOU !

For your Ever Growing Intellectual & Artistically Contribution to this Field.

PS: In all That Said I just have A Personal Question For you: WOLSTENHOLME Said That they will be Looking for Integrating the "Game books Option" In the MotionBookTool In a Near Future .... How near is that ?
- Dude How Is going the OPTION to Make GAMEPLAY ACTION SCENES ... That is "CHOSE YOUR WAY" Scenes Out Of the MotionBookTool ... ARe your Engineers Tickling on it ?

- That Game Play Chose your Way On Whats happen Next is so Crucial to my MotionBook CGI Game Project. That it might even Dictate if i Bring it to the MotionBook Platform Sooner or not ...
- In the Case of you guys not be able to make it / I even bought the MotionArtists Software motionartist.smithmicro.com / As that Software / More near to a Full Motion Studio ... Already allows Somehow that kind of "Gameplay Chose your way In Linking scenes Back & forth EVen between Several titles, Tru the new Html5 Technology Wich is All kinds of Mobile COmpatible And way supperior to Flash  ...  

You know ... You guys Been the Pioneers ... But You Should look at the competition / as soon or latter they will be at your door ... 
( Sadly As in Everything : An Artist Makes things Pretty ... The Engineering Makes Things Functional.. And only Money makes Dreamed Things Happen ... And thats the sad Part of this World : TIME IS MONEY Also ... Soo... ) 


You see this things of Motion Books take so much time to be done right / and right now for the first time in my live im starting to make some more easy money with my artistic creation thru the Assetstore.unity3d.com  

That More than Ever i will be needing to find a Way To mix "Game Trailers" And "Chose your way Game Action" Tru the Motion Books Platform. To Aid And Sponsor my Production Game Development Series ...

You see for me there is not a GAMES Medium, a MOVIE Medium, a NOVELS Medium, a ANIMATION Medium a MUSIC Medium ... THEY CAN BE ALL ONE ! ..
For me they are all ART : And as Art They are they easily can be joined and AID Any Project If used well Together.

The BEST PRODUCTION PLATFORM. Also the One that can make More Money . Is And will be No Doubt this day the one that is able to Mix them all in 1 you know ...

---------

On Overall WWW.MADEFIRE.COM / Already Give Us the Possibility To Mix ART / ANIMATION / LITERATURE / AUDIO ...
Now we just need to Mix the Possibility to Make GAME-PLAY ACTION SCENES in it !  
To Make it Complete As a True Full Medium & For all needs Great Platform!




WITH ALL MY VERY BEST REGARDS !!

See us around in One more Productive Half Year or so !

GOOD LUCK !

:hug:




Cheers Old Friend !  :glomp:
ALL the BEst Within Everything !
