    I went on fiverr and asked artists to paint my Warhammer figures in one of the most difficult to paint schemes. I sent out six Space Marine Primaris Intercessor Imperial Fists. It was a super fun project that went across many months from ordering until I received the miniatures. Let me know which miniature is your favorite among the bunch!

      No way, man. Consider your time and materials. How much do you make an hour at your job? Or how much does a normal person make? How long does it take you to paint a mini? If it's an hour, you should be charging at least what you make an hour. Plus paints.

      There is a reason why most people only put in the hours on their lords and monsters and basicaly only drybrushes the regular soldiers. It's the time, and if someone wants their soldiers to have the same detail as their lords and monsters then they either put in the time or pay someone else to put in the time.
      I kinda lost my chain of thought there.. but the point is, if you want a deluxe lord dont just pay for soldier quality. And you shouldnt paint deluxe quality on people who is paying you to paint their soldiers. Even tho it's painfull not to give every mini your full skill.
      No, if you only get payed 7.50 id say you owe them clean paint, clean lines, basic shade and basic highlight. No gem facetes, no glass lenses, directional lights, battle scars, or rust (beyond maybe using texture pains. But that's maybe).
      If someone were to pay you 50 dollar, then you could give them the whole package, but then you should also have the skill to justify the price.

    I think for all the artists involved it really gives them a baseline as to what their competitors are doing and the quality of work they are actually sending out for the price. I think in future videos you might want to reference their work back to their samples at the same price point (if available) and see if it exceeds, matches, or is below their examples.

That 25% is to cover creating the platform, fraud protection, work integrity and other things. I dont "Agree' with that cut but I also think that people should be looking to abandon the site asap once they get a little networking done.

So if minimum wage is $20 an hour then a novice who takes 5 hours to do a painting gets $100, so at least that's enough to make a living from. The very good painter can do a better painting in 3 hours but charge $50 an hour for it, so they get $150 - more money for less work because they're better. Without minimum wage the very good painter can still charge $150, but the novice might only get $50.

    My favourite of these is the one with red highlights and chest emblem. Looks very good overall.

      @@fess700 If you say so. I live in the UK, but I am Bulgarian and have worked in Bulgaria and the prices for art in Bulgaria definitely aren't the prices for art in the UK. It's why I'm in the UK to begin with.
      Due to the state of the Bulgarian economy, art in Bulgaria is cheaper than the UK. This makes it cheap to people in the UK but average/expensive to people in Bulgaria etc. I think it's all relevant. If Ukraine's doing better than my home country then that's fantastic for you but that's not been my experience, hence I'm looking for work outside of it.

    One of the things that the painters need to know, is that unless the client is giving you free reign you need to do whats ordered.
    I know its a bit off sometimes, like this example with the silver and not red eagle, but its what the client ordered.
    Had I made a request with something thats not fulfilled to what i asked, I would def be asking for a refund, because its not what was ordered.
    I know its hard to hear, but as someone who does commission assembly work myself, ive learned this the hard way.

    I suck at painting miniatures and just painting stuff in general but I can still appreciate how well these are done.
