Hey all,

I wanted some feedback, a couple of people have been suggesting I try commision painting. I am by no means a insanely good painter but I do paint pretty fast, all the recent big stuff I do takes under 3 hours for me to paint. Some of the stuff in the photos don't have bases or are not completely finished as they are just progress shots and the photos aren't great as I just share them with friends that are also in the hobby.

Anyways would you think people would be happy with this sort of work?

At a quick glance I'd say sure....but then it would be mean nothing without knowing the price/time it takes to do them. They're not world-class, but very much inline with middle-ground commission painted armies I've seen.

Thanks, yeah I understand pricing is a thing as surely its not $10 to paint a lord of change but it's not $300. I probably spent 1.5 hours assembling and 3 painting, knights I spend like 2 assembling 2.5 painting.

For it to be worth my time I guess I would try to get like $150 USD for an imperial knight or LoC.

The space marines I think took me like maybe 2 hours total for the 5, so like $8 a model or so, I dunno. Then again doing just one wouldn't take me 1/5th of the time of course.
