And as you may see yourself, it isn't happening at all, all you'll get is "nice stuff" comments, but I doubt those comments will feed anything other than your ego, so try to find a business model that works for you and work from there.
It's not a question of "is it worth it or not" the toon market has changed DRAMATICALLY over the past 10 years take the 3D Toon market for example...

in 1998 a single image was selling for $10 to even $20 each but that was pretty much only due to the fact that the content was so rare and so the price gouging was in full effect,

Now 12 years later that content is much more common and there are also more artists getting into producing the content, so these days myself and most other 3D Toon producers sell packages of 30-40 sets (30 images per set) for around $500 - $800 bucks

The same has happend with SOME of the traditional hand drawn artists, BUT the rest of them are honestly looking at their business model wrong.

They see a graphics designer sell a single toon image for upwards to $250 (for a logo) so they assume that the prices they are setting are 'so much lower then those other guys'

They totally fail to realize that they are selling something that is NOT a logo, brand, mascot or whatever else you want to call it, THOSE are a company or site's BRAND and will always cost more then actual content.
