Nah, people commission artwork and doujinka can even profit from their books as well (and have gotten in major shit for not reporting their "earnings"). It's just mental, because fic has always been free and art is for some reason held to a higher standard.

[solticisekf]

It's because art is more expensive to make, as you need a tablet or art supplies.

There is a general divide between fandom's percieved "value" of art vs. fic though, be it via monetary or other avenues of reward.

If you had a single concept and one person wrote a fic and one person created artwork, then the artwork invariably gets more attention. Maybe it's a time thing (in that it takes less time to glance at a pic than it does to read a fanfic, when the inverse is often true for the time it's taken to create said work), but there's definitely a difference and that bleeds over into the general acceptance of fanart commission vs. fanfic commission.

[solticisekf]

I think it's a time thing, yes. In Bigbang one fic gets three arts though. Imo, fic takes more times to create then a fanart (or a fanvideo).

^ Agreed.

I was actually having this discussion with an artist friend a while ago and they could knock out a decent piece of artwork - say a 3/4 character piece with a reasonable background - in about a fifth of the time it would take me to write a decent-length oneshot. And I'm not an especially slow writer.

Depending on the fandom/characters, my fic would get about a fifth of the notes their artwork got. But I do it myself. It takes seconds to like a picture you find good, but many people including myself don't always have the time it takes to read a fic thoroughly.

So I agree with both points; there does seem to be a discrepancy between fic and art but they're also two very different things that demand different things from a viewer than they would a reader,

[solticisekf]

Yep!
A video or a decent, as you say, fanart takes about three days, while a long chapter takes a whole week (and then perhaps goes to the beta). If someone works on it on evenings, that is.
