I am not sure how to respond.
We have had a number of people reply to this via PM with rates.
Each one is different. We have had some people that are asking twice that of what we paid Shade when he was doing this for us. Obviously these people have priced themselves out of work for the site.
In other cases a few of the artists have advised us that because we are Heromorph they would be willing to donate their time to us since we are a non-profit web-site. Others have advised us that they are giving us a reduced rate.
Now normally an artist will charge commission prices based on their time and the demand for their work. So I don?t really know what an average price would be as there doesn?t seem to be one. Also different styles of art cost different, some of the artists that manip/draw/color/3d charge different amounts for different mediums that they use.
So really you artists need to sit down and decide how much your time and effort would be worth, and then decide how much you would like to charge the site for your time and please PM this account with those rates.

And what might that be, pray tell? A PM with sample rates would be welcome. I have had several requests but have no idea what to charge.
