Rules

AI Art: While we appreciate AI generated art, there are more appropriate communities to post that type of art to. Please keep posts to non-AI generated art only. This rule includes AI art that was then manually manipulated (e.g. drawing on top of something generated by AI).

Nudity: Nudity is and has always been a part of art, but it may be something that some users don't wish to see or cannot view in certain circumstances (e.g. at work). If your work contains nudity, please mark it as NSFW. Work that contains nudity that is not marked as NSFW will be taken down. As long as the NSFW tag is used, we welcome nude subject matter.

Spam: Please do not spam this community. Self promotion is fine if you just want people to be aware of your work, but blatant attempts at spam will result in the past being removed and possibly a ban. If you aren't sure if what you are posting is spam, please contact the moderator first.

Conduct: Be nice, and don't be a jerk. Constructive criticism is OK, but don't be mean. Encouragement is always welcomed.

Is $140 for this folder I painted too much? It did take me 7 hours to paint (The inside is also painted but just speckled pink) (lemmy.world)

Some advice that you are welcome to completely disregard:

Migrate to digital workflows with a good stylus like XP Pen.

Create an online portfolio of low res and/or watermarked images that you can link anyone who is interested.

Develop a relationship with a quality printing service near you.

For hard copy requests, like for example someone who wanted your folder, you can have the image printed and wrapped onto a folder. This way you can tailor the medium to what the client wants.

If someone wants an exclusive piece, then just print it once and don't add it to your portfolio.

Good luck!

Yes, would make more sense if you could crank out 50 units at $30 a pop than to try selling one at a high price for something that will get used and worn out.
