How much for a Legendary Moonlight Sculptort(manhwa) level artist?

Webtoon - season 2

Art like the one you see when you open the link. How much would this type of art style cost per page?
This is purely for research purposes. I don't plan on hiring anyone right now. I just want to set a goal for my Patreon page.

Good point I edited it.

An artist I asked said 69 dollars per page.

NICE.

Er, okay silliness aside, in all seriousness, that's a very cheap quote. I had to look up the comic you were talking about because I'm unfamiliar, but for that kind of quality of work with incredibly crisp lines and detailed colour, I would expect to be paying a lot more than that. Like I would think it was cheaper than expected if an artist quoted more like $150 per page.

Here's a good guide with links on what prices are like in the industry:

I am going to say that it's probably more than 69 dollars per page. When you see the actual art of Solo-Leveling, that's including lineart, flats, rendering, and any added special effects. Moreover, because Solo-Leveling is a manwha (and not your standard page-styled manga), you might need to think about artists who do rates per panel.

But yeah -- 69/page for that level is not enough.

i agree with this price. 69€ is really cheap. I would also say 80-160 dollars per panel. depend on the complexity and the background of the panel

the backgound is really easy and only the face and shoulders are shown, so it will not be so much.
depends on the creator, but I would say 70-80 dollar.
When its a really popular artist, then he could maybe say more.
But there are also many not so popular artists that have a really clean and good style

This is a more detailed image

[summermcallen]

this might cost a bit more. 2 girls that must interact a bit and are drawn 3/4 and a boy in the foreground. maybe 130 dollars

[Aizenvolt]

How much do you believe a page of this type of art style would cost on average 2-3 panels per page? Its cheaper than the one I showed before right?

[Aizenvolt]

Sorry for asking so many questions. I just want to set a goal for my patreon page and I need to decide how much it will cost.

[summermcallen]

depends on the complexity. maybe with one complex big panel and two smaller ones, 230-260 dollars.
But maybe its easier to just ask a artist, that have a similar style that you want, for the price only for research.
I also compare it only to the prices that I see on twitter. I never do commissions before

[Aizenvolt]

Ok thanks for the help.

Gonna pay your artist through Patreon?

[Aizenvolt]

This question was for research purposes since I write a story and I want to set up goals on Patreon. I wanted to know how much would I have to gather each month to sustain a webcomic of this level.
