>I will expect a turn-around of 2-3 weeks per finished piece, depending on its complexity and the amount of back and forth communication between us. For this I am looking to pay $40 to $80 per finished piece, depending on the detail of the scene and the amount of characters.
>Due to some really disappointing experiences I initially prefer to pay after you present a low-res version of the finished piece, after payment you can send me the higher res art.
>Please only respond if you have a skill-level that matches the art in my sample [pic related]
Guy wants to pay $40 for illustrations like pic related, and, according to his tumblr, he's been getting 10 applications per hour. -> http://the-eternal-feast.tumblr.com/
If you look at his tumblr, he's apparently already hired some very decent artists to work for him for the pay rate he's offering (which comes out to less than $5 per day.)
Is this how desperate freelance artists are for work? Are competent illustrators really only worth $40-$80 per 2-3 weeks of work these days? Is freelance illustration a dead-end field, fit only for hobbyists with real jobs on the side or who live with their parents?
I've been noticing that every client who contacts me wants to pay $5-$10 per hour max, and if I ask for anything more, I never hear from them again. Is it because everybody in this field is so desperate for work that they accept literal sweat-shop wages?
