Finished Pieces 🌿
also if you don't think much of feral art idk what to say, my character is quite literally a ninetales??? they didnt ask for critique on their art or like...an entire genre or art style? i don't particularly like some art styles but I simply do not order from shops whose styles i don't like
fyi my art starts at 200k PD for sprites and I've asked for 500k for a unshaded halfbody. there are PH users willing to pay for art, and art from some of the most popular shops can *start* from 1 mil PD
they didn't ask for price comments so this is unsolicited and uncalled for.
Being honest, you are going to receive backlash for your comment, since a large amount of the PokéHeroes community is supported by artists. Your post was completely unnecessary and uncalled for, especially because she was not asking for criticism on prices or her art.
Although I am not an artist, here is what I can say for the artists that I do know, including Lupine.
Each artist has a particular style and preference. Some may prefer to draw ferals over humanoids, or vice versa. It does not make them any less skilled as an artist.
Everyone has different areas of expertise, but artists are constantly improving their work. With such a large art community online, I can only imagine the pressure to keep up their work as they compare it to others. There is enough comparison in each artists' mind without comments such as yours.
Considering the quality of Lupine's art in regards to ferals, I would say her art is reasonably priced in terms of PD. In fact, when customers do order from her, I wouldn't be surprised to see tips being left, based on how much more they see her art being worth.
I know plenty of artists who underprice their work, but even as a customer, the price isn't up to me. The price is up to the artist, and they may take feedback from the customer if asked for it.
Is her art cheap? No, but that's the point. Good quality art isn't often easy to find, and it won't necessarily cost pocket change for you, even in a Pokémon website. Quite frankly, an artist has to work for their art and the quality results. In return, the price should cost your work in terms of the payment.
Regardless of your opinions on Lupine's art or prices, the public forum isn't the place to voice it. A simple DM could have been fine; even so, she never asked for your opinion. Her art quality and prices are not for you to decide.
I fully intend on commissioning Lupine once I have enough PD. She is a wonderful friend and artist, and we have worked together many times in the past. I am proud to see how much her art has improved over the years.
TBH I'm sick of this 'Your art is too expensive, you need to lower your prices' stuff from people. Like, just don't order FR?? Besides, the art is reasonably priced imo, she's a very good artist.
Literally this ^^. 200 nuggets is literally two dollars, and that's considered expensive for art by PH users. This quality art in real money typically goes for like 10-20 dollars USD for and unshaded fullbody in my experience, depending on the artist. Just my two cents
I really do agree that PH has become spoiled by cheap and free art. Just remember that these lovely people have no obligation to even take fictional currency as opposed to real money; for many people art is their main source of income. Like everyone else has already said, if you don't like their art or their prices, you don't have to buy it!! Learn how to draw yourself
