A small talk about pricing your art

You're creating art. You have the passion, you have the skills. Why not make some money out of it then? It's a good idea, right? A lot of people live from creating art, and even more earn some money on the side by taking commissions. You should give it a shot! So... How much money is your art worth? It's a hard question to answer for those who are just starting their adventure with selling and creating art for money. Is its worth equal to the price of the materials you used? Is it equal to the value of the time you've spent on creating it? What about the emotional value you put into it? Should your education influence your prices? No matte

Pete I expected just a boy but you were a knight

HOW do you make THE END?

"When will you make an end?" - The Pope on the painting of the Sistine Chapel "When I'm finished." - Michelangelo. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Okay, so you got this GREAT Idea for a story! - This Great Idea...that births chapter after chaper... - This Great Idea... that you can't seem to finish. (WTF?) Crap. So what do you do now? HOW do you make an End? Fairytales and Myths were my foundational reading, so they became my base model for how a story should finish -- by ending where you began with a solution. This doesn't mean ending a story in the location it started, or that full irrevocable transformations don't happen, bu
