Wacom tablet can easily cost into the hundreds though.

Let's be honest: the good fanart that usually that is sold? That artist paid for a wacom tablet or used those capcom markers that are expensive.

Seriously. I don't understand this backlash against fanartists lately.

[hoshika.livejournal.com]

I think you have a huge misconception about artists that do put a pricetag on their doujinshi. The pricetag covers the costs to make the doujinshi/comic then a little bit of profit. Usually, if I'm not mistake, the person who buys the comic is just paying for the cost to print it out and the work that the artist had to put into it.

It's like your making it out that these artists are making BANK profit on these comics, and that's not true.

Some people don't like using used products because it doesn't have a warranty and the like.

Ok, me and my group paid $40 to start our group, and we have done NOTHING but sell reasonably priced shit since. We cut discounts for kids who sincerely want shit, NOTHING at our both that isn't custom made for the client is above $10, and none of us have taken home ONE CENT to put in our pockets. I repeat I have made NO profit off other people's art, not a cent. All of it has gone straight back into productions (And we often work in the red)

Yes, the $10 we charge is not the cost of making the prints alone for the doujinshi (A 20 page doujinshi, minus original supplies and time and effort comes in at about $4).

It's the cost of the table ($100 bucks usually), the displays, the money we need to get to the con (Often across country, and often paying a bunch out of our pockets anyway even for con's were ONLY working, not playing at, because we keep our prices low enough that we're not ripping people off. We have yet to pay anything from company funds for a con that is even partially for fun, only if we stay at the table all con), the cost of the business cards, etc etc etc,

The price of my makers? Aren't part of what we charge people. Because I use those for my classes and personal art, and we keep business and personal separate.

I looked at your comic. It's cool. It's also black and white, and all online which knocks out so much over head price it's not even funny. I've worked on a comic like that, and yeah I was able to do it REALLY cheap cause I just bought a cheap sketch book and used ball point pens and it worked for THAT. But it also was FAR lower quality, not in style but in the technical aspects. Your art style (Which don't get me wrong, I like a lot) is very flat and simple, and the supplies and methods you use would NOT work for the art I do, which is very heavy in color layering and details (Well, mine not so much the details) Your art would look weird in oils or chalk pastels or what have you (And honestly, you luck out that way. When one artist in our group tries to color that way instead of coming across as clean and simple is comes across as plain and lazy)

You are, in styles, comparing how you grown apples to my orange orchard. I need different tools then you do because I do different things then you do, and my tools end up costing a lot.

I use a thrice hand me down tablet so old you can't see thought the plastic cover anymore with a stylus held together with tape. I was using a hand me down laptop, but had to upgrade because it ran so slow I couldn't use PS on it (Sorry, bottom line doesn't work for art there) and as for scanner, I had to buy a nice one, because the cheap ones just effed up the colors (And yes, I did LOTS of research. Like I said, I don't have money to be wasting on this)
