Hi guys,

I know that you guys will know some kind of answer to this question. Recently I have been asked to do some matte paintings. I didn't think they were serious but yesturday they called again and asked when i could start and how much I would charge. I was like....huh??!!I hadn't the faintest idea of even what ballpark to say.....So I ask all you experienced artist out there....what is a ball park figure for charging for work? I know it's kinda vague but to be honest I really do know whee to start...help!!!!

cost of materials + (hours spent x rate)

i like to make sure i dont get less than 10$/hour.
include your sketching and designing work in the hours.

What yousir said, and for future reference, get yourself a copy of The Graphic Artists Guild Handbook: Pricing & Ethical Guidelines.
