Recently, I decided I would get back into drawing by sketching out photos from within Second Life. I plan to offer this as a service as another part of my photography business. Based on the opinions of a few friends, they think the sketches are really good and would pay between L$200 – L$1000. I am looking for serious folks willing to send me a photo they would like sketched and for opinions on them. I am also asking for them to pay me as much as they believe the photo is worth. So if you think the sketch looks almost exactly like your original photo and you really like it, pay me what you think it is worth. Or if you absolutely hate it, I ask that you at least pay me L$10 to cover the upload fees. I am looking for serious folks only; please don’t send me a photo, have me sketch it, and then run away with it.
Alternatively, if you would like a sketched photo, but do not have a photo either at all or worth it, I will take a complimentary photo for you in my studio. The above “rules” then apply.
The goal here is for me to figure out a happy medium of what to charge for my sketches. While one said I should charge minimally because it’s not editing a full photo, another said she’d pay top Linden for a sketch because of the intricate detail. I have to admit that I think these photos are worth more than my regular L$400 photos.
The minimum time it takes to complete a photo is two hours.
Please IM me before you send me a photo. If I am not online, please send me an NC as my IM’s get capped.
Thank you.
