would love to see more examples of what you can do =)

Don't get me wrong, what you have now looks good, if people want to hire your skills, they want to see variation and see what kind of icons you like to do, your style =)

25$ to 50$ , is too much for the skill you have , sincerely ...

Most of the pro artists I know charge 20$/hour max , and most of them finish logos in less than that

could you show me these numbers

when u do personal art for some one you charge more when you do art that you give out multiple licences they sell for less but 20 is low for a pro artist

if people provide me with the base pieces from their project i'll do it from 10-20 depending

Whiteclaws 20$/hour for an pro artist is BS. Please send me the links to the artist who can make me an pro icon for 20$.

dhondon , I said 20$\hour , not 20$ per icon ...

And a competent artist that knows his business would probably do it for less than an hour ...

sosensible , depends on how much time it takes you to make 1 icon , but sincerely , I saw better artists that charge less than 20\h , I can comprehend that a real pro would charge more than 20$/h , but for that kind of person , an icon would be done in less than an hor

I'm not into freelancing , but that's the info I got from seeing many portfolios

Is it just me or does this thread remind anybody else of this meme?

no only tools used are anime studio blender and sketchup no photo graphs or anything

In just a few weeks I learned more from the BA community than over a year of community college.

Thanks for reminding me about Sketchup. I would like to give it another try. I hear they have really made a top notch application, and a Pro version.

As far as hourly pricing is concerned, it all depends on your client. Seems like the ballpark is around 20-25$ hr for average skilled artist. $25-90$ for guys like Glen Southern.

Here is a good place to find employment:

Jobs range from simple GUI icons for school students, to large studios recruiting for huge productions.

thanks I'd love to see some of your work so could you i-m me some pics

I find minimalist and simple design patterns to be the best look for things like icons and logos.

As for my studio logo, I contracted work out to an international who quoted me $18 an hour to create my logo. I already had some design ideas in my head that we had discussed prior to him starting work on it, and once the contract was signed between us, the guy was finished in just about 40 minutes and was sending me the file.

I'm not saying that they should all be priced liked that and work so quick, but it earned him a spot as a valued artist on my contact list that has gotten repeat service from me.

I personally, so no offence, feel that the work I see above isn't quite at the level for the price you request...but it's not that bad either.

Some suggestions I would have is to create more original icons to show us what you are capable of.

Here are some for inspiration that really kinda fit the look and feel that I think iconography is going these days:

My Studio Logo

i'll get some ones like what you showed me up

You should probably point out that you need more experience than 40 minutes as well.
