You have some good concept art there.
I suggest posting some of your better work on this thread, so people can see it right away. And Deviant Art is a good place to set up a profile and look for work too.

yea i looked at your art and i feel confident speaking for collectively everyone in saying we can't afford you lol.
that is undoubtedly four figure art. if you got paid less than $1000 USD for any of the pieces I saw, you're selling yourself short (which you don't have to feel that bad about being a professional creative is hard because everyone wants to do it so the people that hrie us don't pay shit, hell I've taken writing work for like a penny a word, it was paying writing work).
i don't want to say no one around here takes their game design that seriously, but i don't think anyone here can afford topay what your art is worth. paying what you're selling it for is an entirely different matter, and i couldn't find any hint of that info on your website.

@StromCrow = I think you have a huge misconception about the price of art for videogames. I have never paid anything near that much for a CG in my game.
Yeah, four figures for a single piece would be an astronomical price. While the art is certainly impressive, I've seen student art that approaches or surpasses it in quality and that was just done for a grade when I used to work at a university that had a game design program. Not a knock on Fabian at all; the examples I see are all fantastic. I would love to see some idea of pricing though! I'm on the hunt for facesets for a project.

$3000 is Wizards of the Coast's floor for art of that quality to put on Magic The Gathering cards. From there it goes up, up, up depending on the artist's popularity and name recognition. And we all know that there is 100x or even 1000x more money in VIDEOgames than there is in TABLETOP games, it's pretty reasonable to extrapolate.
So for anyone thinking "StormCrow is crazy, no one gets paid that much to make art" yeah, NOPE. I know as a fact that three times the amount I quoted is the starting pay for freelancers in an industry that is orders of magnitude smaller and less monetized than this one. (To be fair, it's also paid by the top dog of that industry.)
What I think art is worth and what I personally can pay for it are two very different numbers (and technically, what I WILL pay for it is a third number).
To be clear, I've never paid more than $50-$60 for anything for one of my games. That doesn't mean that the art in question wasn't worth five times that (sometimes it was, sometimes it wasn't). The person I most want to buy art from that haunts these parts is estherfunworld but she's very firm about her terms and I can't afford her prices: even when I had plenty of disposable income, I couldn't justify her prices. But even her--someone I actively wish charged less--is by most reasonable standards undercharging. I don't think I'll ever be able to do business with her between her being ESL and her hardcore sticking to her commission model which is a shame.
I have consistently gotten art worth at least $300 for $60 or less. PM me if you want to see an example. This art is WORTH (at least) $300 though--the fact that it's a shit market for creatives selling their work is why I got it for so cheap.
Anyway, what you have paid for your games is frankly irrelevant: I'm assuming you're an indie dev with virtually no budget like most of us. (Some of us are't that broke: for instance, I got paid $500 to do database and battle stuff for someone else's project and this still feels like a goddamn miracle and I can barely believe it actually happened.)
I kind of like "StromCrow". : )
Now, I am not an artist nor have I ever worked as an art director, my assessment of this artist's work was clearly done in a hurry. I may have overestimated him, I don't know.
If I didn't, anyone who got art of this quality for less than four figures got a great deal.

Hello There,
Interesting conversation, yes i think that price is a bit high for freelance work, since AAA Studios work with top noch artist wich im in the process of being but not quite there yet, my prices are not as highg as that.
However i recetly found myself selling me very short as well, and there is consecuneces for that, so is eveyrthing about finding a balance between selfworth, and charging a reasonable freelane price.
