Once I determine what a fair price for the work is, I will disabuse her of that notion.) 
I needed a rather cartoon like static graphic made for one of my sites. I described to her what I wanted. As she is apt to do...she nailed it perfectly with the first graphic she showed me. She then went on to make about 7 variations of the character, small changes that took her very little time to do. (He's pointing, he has a thought bubble, etc.)
What is fair market value for this kind of work? |
I would like to say that it quite high of a value...
However, I know a couple of good graphics people on the net that will do a character for about $50 or $75 and then will do all sorts of variants of it pretty cheap.
I would say offering $100 for something that she thinks was gratis is fair.
As a person that appreciates art and what it takes for an artist to get stuff done I would love to be able to say that you have to give her $500 ...
