Well guys, the time has come. I’ve gotten to the point where I have so much demand (and so little time) and have improved so much in the past year that I can’t feasibly keep my prices so low. Right now, I’m painting for waaay less than minimum hourly wage ($7.50 here in MO) and since I have a different job, I just can’t justify that anymore.
However, before I change anything, I want to let you guys, my devoted fans and followers, to give me your input on how much I should charge! If only GW would do this… :P
Currently, I charge $16 to clean, assemble and paint a model like the one above to Hero Level, which is the best level I can paint to. What do you guys think I should charge? It takes me a solid 3-4 hours to get a figure like this finished, so that’s something to keep in mind.
Please answer! I really want to do what’s best for the community here, and so I’m letting you have your say!
Cheers!

Finished painting up 27 Screamers of Tzeentch to Hero Level! I’ll only say that I’m very happy with these guys.

Vampire Counts Necromancer. Had lots of fun coming up with a good red recipe, and thanks to a healthy amount of acrylic medium, keeping my blends nice and smooth was a doddle. It would’ve been really hard to get the same results with just water.

Sedition Wars Battle for Alabaster - the Vanguard. THIS was a fun commission! I really love these models, and had an absolute blast painting them. Technically everything but the Samaritan basic troopers was painted to Hero Level, but I enjoyed painting ‘em so much that the Samaritans are definitely a hybrid of Hero and Trooper level work.
Me and Sabrina Heath of Itsacoyote Workshop have split up this box. She did the Strain, I did the Vanguard. We’ll be painting up pretty much everything from the Sedition Wars Kickstarter, and possibly the upcoming expansion as well.
