Help/ advice someone wanting to buy my artwork for their ESPORTS team

Tevin

I need some help or advice...I recently got messaged by someone on deviant art asking if it would be okay to buy one of my artwork of an Oni mask with a dragon wrapped around it for an esports Team he is trying to start up and the design would be their logo...How should I proceed because I've never had anyone ask to buy my artwork especially for an esports logo.

Cool design, not surprised you'd attracted interest. So here's a basic formula similar to when I worked as a portraitist come street artist way back when. Now important to remember when calculating the cost of a piece is by paying yourself a reasonable rate, on top of adding the cost of materials and that becomes your asking price:

For example if say materials cost $20 and 15 hours too produce, pay yourself an hourly rate of $20 = $315

Anyway just a rough estimate in how to price your work.

Cheers.

EDIT:
For digital the same applies, except materials (...obviously I had my analogue hat on : ) ) can be calculated as tertiary costs such as plugins/brush tools/paid tutorials...etc.
