thanks for lookin'...

cheers
jah

Love the work, basing etc but starting US$200 for a mini, ouch

$200 is my basic commission rate...
it also just happens to be what the last version of this mini sold for...

some people can afford my work, and some can't...
it's not like i'm forcing anyone to give me their money...

cheers
jah

realy,id buy it if it was 100 dollars.But 200 realy?

yes, really...

the mini alone, unpainted, costs around $50 when you're lucky enough to find it these days...
that means that i would actually hope to get $250 for this guy (cost of my time + cost of the mini)...

call me crazy, but i think my work is worth the price...
i'm not even charging top-dollar, which is about $400 for a basic piece from a top-artist...
i can't wait to hear the reactions when i start charging what Mike Mcvey or Marike Reimer charge...
i'm constantly working hard to get to a point where i feel that my minis are a match for their quality...

cheers
jah

I think the price is certainly fair, it's obvious that mini took a great deal of time and effort to make look so beautiful, on top of being a rare miniature. As it was explained to me, there is certainly a difference between someone looking for a decent bargain and someone looking for a collector's item. Sadly, right now I'm more of the bargain buyer and non-SM player than the collector, so this little masterpiece will have to go to someone else.

I would love to have that fig sitting on my shelf, but then I'd just throw away my brushes and give up.

your a hell of an artist man .. don't fudge on the price its worth it for a collector .. keep up the great work..
