This is one of my best manips/art

I'm wondering, what tier artist/art do you think I am or this is, based on this art? i have other art on my profile/bio (scroll down on bio to view art from my auctions/etc, if you like)

I've tried reading other's posts on what tier their art would be, but I don't quite understand ^^

Hi!! New to Tiers, but I read through a bunch of tier and pricing info on the guides, and here is my thoughts!!

So. For your photoshop style, I would say tier 4, probably, as a starting artist! I looked through your art auctions, and my personal favorite is that one Grey (if I remember!) horse walking through a sparkling beach tide. <3 It's so pretty!!

Personally, I think you should start at 4 for those pieces, because while you got your cut-outs (which take ages. -_-) down real good, and even your horse editing seems well on its way as well (like with this posts unicorn), your horses look a little color washed? Not quite sure why, but that, lighting being a little off from the environment, and the horse's contrast being kind of sharp against their environments, is defo what would detract from the realism a little.

My thoughts on improvement: While I am NOT a photoshop artist, I think blending, softening, or at least putting some sort of filter over the horse to match the environments colors could really help them blend into the background better!

Also a bit of shadow would go a long way! You can do that by adding another layer, then lowering opacity and using either an airbrush with the environments tones, I think. (For my flat art, I just use the ibis paint hard dip pen, lower the layer opacity somewhere between 20-40s, and then draw over where I want a little shadow. I'm still learning too!)

I hope any of this helps? I just know the problem, not quite how to solve it. :(

But! Your drawing adopts? Actually adorable. Oh my gosh. Those, if you took commissions, I'd put em at 4-lower 3, depending on time and effort per piece!

I genuinely love your free hand style so much, it's so good. Lineless art BULLIES me. :(

From what I have seen, tier 4 is under 50k, and 3 50k+, but that seems to be a little shakey? Because I've seen higher tier art go for a lot lower, so price where comfortable and fair! I'd PERSONALLY charge 25k-30k starter point for personal Lineless commissions, and go upwards with that time and effort, but I really do think you've got an awesome basis to work with.

Sidenote, saw you in chat the other day, and loved your profile picture so much.

Hope this helped somewhat, sorry for the length! Good luck!!

Edit: I think tiers are art quality, and then people price accordingly. So if we are talking quality, I'd say your little adopts are defo around low-mid 3. That is me being conservative because I don't quite have experience with art grades yet, as mentioned.

Alr tysm! This helps a lot :D
Thank you for the compliments on the beach manip, avatar, and the adopts! Btw, the batch 2 adoptables im making are shaded better. the first ones were a bit of a rush to see what people would think in general of my adoptables style, but im planning on shading them too, like the ones in my bio :D

and yes, i do add shadows to my manips and art. i added some to this one too, on the grass, and a bit on the horse. but it's quite mild and doesn't show a lot.

secondly, i did try to change the horse's colour a bit in this manip to be a little bluer to match the rest of the manip and background, but from what you said i should probably make it match better

tysm for the help! <3

Of course!!

I just hope it all works out for you!

thanks!

new update. i redrew this manip!

now it looks like this:

very very happy with the progress! <3
