Cartoons for adult content, its a good business?
 

Hi guys at last I have 30 posts :)

I would like to know your opinion... We are a traditional graphic design studio but we are starting to do some adult related graphics.

1. You think this artwork is good for adult business?
   
2. What do you think about the price? For cartoon and logos its around 200-300US$. Its ok? Cheap? Expensive?

Here is some logos:

Your work is fucking top notch, even if I've ordered a mascot from you already so I might sound biased. :)

thats some great work... how do you guys create things like that? What software?

Hey TGF, how are you doing? Thanks for the compliment ;)

Its Photoshop for bitmaps and Illustrator for vectors. We mainly do bitmaps but we can do both, here is some vector examples:

Thanks guys, but you didnt reply my questions :P

Well.... the artwork is definately good enough. I personally have no issues with your prices, but if you want to get a steady supply of orders you need to lower it a lot, there's a ton of outsourcing guys and other misc cartoonists around which people seem to appreciate, and their prices are way below yours. :(

But its the same quality? What is the price?

If it is I think I will outsource them :P

In *MY* opinion it's not the same quality, but I'll get shit if I name them. :)

Sosfactory, I saw you post in a thread the other day. I hadnt heard of you before but I bookmarked your site as it majorly impressed me and in the future I will hit you up for some work I am sure.

I just hope you dont go flaky like a lot of good designers do as it seems to come with the territory.

No problem, send me a private please.

hey how much was a mascot again?

allready have one .. but a extra one cant hurt :)

Thanks :)

We are around 3 years in the business and until now any refund yet (crossed fingers) :)

We are a small team and we love what we do, its because we dont need a lot of orders. We keep in mind our limitations, if we can meet a deadline we dont accept the work.

:)

Its around 200-300US$ depending on the work, email me with more info and I give you an accurate quote.

Sorry, private messages are disabled on GFY. :(


But here's some cartoonists from GFY threads, couldn't find the outsourcing guys who always spam the same howard stern toon.. But below is an example of the 'cheap guys':

Here's some who have some talent and this is probably about the same you should price your stuff to be competitive.

Not sure if the above sites have pricing on their sites though.

wow... i just checked out your whole portfolio, you guys are great!

Which one are you? The "cheerleader"?... lol

Definitivelly we have different targets.


Just in my spare time :P In the business Im S.o.S (Sergio Ordoñez Suanez).

No more opinions?

Your toons are really great, how long does it take you to do one of those?

pretty good, but since you have done business with Madawgz then im sure you will be shown the door in no time...

:winkwink:

Its depends on the budget and specially on the feedback of the client since we offer unlimited revisions. More revisions... more time. Our record is 4 hours.

Sorry... I dont understand you (Im spanish). But yes we did some design for Madawgz, that is an issue?

Cool graphics!

oops. [doubple post]

Its depends on the complexity of the work, deadline, format file... it usually goes around 250US$ per character or logo. If you need both we can do some discount... the same if you need extra poses of the same character.

nice work man

Thanks :)

But what do you think about the price-quality?
You think here is business for this?

Kick ass portofolio! Awesome work :)

Thanks Pimpi, what is your opinion?

i been ordering toons from various designers for over 2 years now

so ya

How many do you usually pay? How is the average quality?

your stuff looks great - i love the EatMyShorts one. there should be a market for your work in adult - but who knows, adult webmasters are very cheap - including me.

Thanks :)

How many would you pay for a cartoon or logo like those?

You're asking the questions over and over but dude ... you have your prices. Stick to them. The right people will pay. Stop asking what people will pay, because I hate to say it, but you WILL get people telling you to do your toons for $50 ... and your work is worth WAY more than that. I dont' see a problem with your prices.

I think your price is good because of very high quality.

You may miss some work because someone wants a cheap price but you will probably get more exposure with the bigger clients that demand the best quality and earn more in the long run.

Plus charging cheap prices can make you get frustrated and that can make your work come out with less quality!! You don't want that to happen.

I love the coloring and pencil work. Keep posting and advertising your stuff, man!

Great work...cool cartoons :thumbsup

Thanks men :). I dont intend to work cheaper (maybe more expensive :P), like I said some post before we are a small team, we dont need lot of orders. So better 5 orders at 250US$ than 10 at 125US$. Im just trying to know the niche.

Thanks :), I do the color myself, pencil is by my partner.

They look awesome. Bump for you

Here is our last logo:

how much is a mascot?

i paid $150 for this one and I love the style - unfortunately the chick who ran the company is a flake and wouldn't give me the name of the artist who did it.

200-300$ is reasonable for your work.

how much is a blog design with the mascot?
