Hi guys~

just wanted to know if there are any~

im in adelaide and im thinking of starting offer commission works and wondering if there is a market.
I think im fairly good at painting models, although i only started painting 1 year ago.
there are still lots of things i need to learn~

here is the question,
how much do you guys can accept for a commission work?

Im thinking about the same price as the kit: the $55 Space Wolves Pack costs $55 to paint (around 6 on the CMON),
a better quality, (>7 on CMON) double or tripple the price, does it sound fair?

I would appreciate any advices and love to meet some new friends who enjoy painting in adelaide!

here are some of my works, hope you like them~

Wow. That's incredible for only a year.

Most commission sites do an hourly rate, or a per mini rate. Your pricing model is unique, I think.

thx endova!

but i think im really a 'slow hand'~ hourly rate may not be a good idea for me

per mini rate sounds nice, whats your local price for that?

First off, Welcome to Dakka

Secondly, im gob smacked at the level of painting you have!! outstanding!

There is a guy around my area of the woods that charges $3 per 20mm based model, $6 per 40mm based model, $30 per 60mm based model and $30 per tank. The rest he hammers out a deal and offers discounts for bulk, but I have never used him, a few people I know have.

That guy sounds super cheap Squig_herder. Too cheap actually. If you love painting for the sake of painting then fine however if you're going all out doing a super job you need to charge a good amount.

Remember you have to use your own tools. Paints, brushs, mediums etc all cost money.

Check out wargamerau.com

There is a large number of guys who do commission work there and you may be able to work out some pricing points if you talk to them.

Although to advertise/accept commissions on the site you need to be a site sponsor, so you would need to talk to the admins about it.

Do you use oil paints?

hi temporis~ how do you charge for the commission?

Im probably going to get in trouble fro posting on such an old thread But I AM DESPERATE!!!!

I noticed this thread in a google search. I need to find an Australian painter for my space wolves army. I do not have the skill required to do justice to my beloved wolves.

Now i know there is a thread with painting commisons on it and I have tried both the Aussie guys but they do not seem interested.

When I noticed a few people talking about Aussie painters I thought they could help me get in contact with them.

Many thanks,

Blocka
