FAQ: How Much Do Commissions Cost?

While on Instagram, I have been asked many times how much it costs to commission a professional artist. 

Morgen Kilbourne's "Dinky Duke" resin painted by Katrina Michaels and owned by me.

I simply cannot answer that, well, simply. No matter how many times I explain that it depends on the artist, color, and size - people still ask me for a "general estimate". However, I honestly don't know due to all the factors. Any estimate I give could be wrong and deter someone from considering a commission, or exclude a good artist who falls out of that price range. Both of which I don't want to do.

While searching around hobby sites, I discovered some links on Rio Rondo (which is an amazing site for just about everything from tutorials, supplies, and resins plus a whole lot more) , which led me to Morgen Kilbourne's page listing various finish work artists, their specialties, and prices.

In my opinion, this was a great discovery, and probably took a bit of time for Morgen to put together - thanks, Morgen!
