Karno, the artist I went with for my first and only commissioned comic did 70 dollars a page, which he then turned around and included in one of his collections so that he had more material for the book. So for a 10 page comic that I provided for free here on the process ran me 700 dollars. Commissions from CallMePo run around 100 dollars for his process style and I've probably spent 100 dollars for the 3 or so commissions I've gotten through expansion fan as a paid member.

So when you think about how much Dreamtales probably has to pay out for Bojay/PalComix and the multitude of others he works with Comissioning a comic is WAY more expensive than buying it. Which is why I buy from people I like, regardless of the material because they're contributing to my entertainment and if you can't afford a few bucks now and then well a money management or finance course would help.

Now that said there are times I'll purchase things and really really wish I hadn't. Right now top of my list is the Missa Futa stuff. I personally find it hard to justify 30 dollars for a 10 to 13 minute clip. But I looked at her process videos as an investment into my writing and to see what the genre samples contained. So in that regard it's not so bad.

When I get ready to write some S.W. features in the future I'll purchase some more Shrinking Women books and Clips to get a feel for the genre.

It's all in how you look in it to be honest.
