I definitely understand your pain with pricing, I was juggling mine for a while 😅

I think your pricing is quite fair for you work, the all cuts is a little on the high side. I would lower that a little in my opinion.

Your pricing will be able to go up once you are comfortable adding a ground shadow, playing with temperatures and hues of shadowing/mid tones/ highlights as that does seem to possibly be a weaker point.

So for now where you are pricing wise I think is quite fair.

Another suggestion is when it comes to horse avatars I would maybe have a base price for the more simple pieces and then be able to move around when it comes to adding difficult markings or maybe different things that take alot more time and effort.

If you ever need help don't be afraid to reach out to me! I can also make you a "prices and terms/condition" sheet like you can find on my shop ❤️❤️

And that's totally okay! We learn as we go! There are some great videos on YouTube! They are actually by a fellow HEE player (her name is Amanda). Just type in Horse Manipulation and her videos will pop right up, she covers the ground shadows in the first video she posted I believe!

I, personally, am going with overpriced. Pretty art at a glance, but if you really look there's a few huge faults.

First off, the wing in the first picture threw me off even at a glance. It doesn't look as though it fits. The lighting on the wing is completely different from the horse.

Second, while the tails, again, look really nice at a glance, there's no shadows, no dimention to it. Same with the manes, but those are less visually pleasing and have even less dimention than the tail.

Third, the lighting needs work. Especially that mist piece. The background is nice and soft, but the horse is not. It makes the horse stand out like a sore thumb. Same with the fire peice, the lighting immediately threw me off.

Fourth, where are the shadows? None of the pieces you showed have shadows. Not even a little dark spot under them. And the mist piece, the horse is in water, moving, and there's no ripples.

All the horses seem very flat compared to the background, there's quite a few decent tutorials out there that walk through body prep and air brushing muscles onto the horse, etc, In the art help section on HEE, there's a very lovey fourm that is tons of help. Click.

Overall, I would pay ~50k for full cuts considering how inconsistent your work is, and the faults pointed out above. You've got a great base, and will get there! Keep up the good work (:
