woah that's a big commish, i cliecked depending who it was, some artists are so good and hard to get a hold of so yeah it would be worth it, i'd like to have the orignal for that price though, if it was digital then maybe a little steep but could still be worth it is the artist is just that good

For an original, maybe worth it. For a digital piece it's a bit much. It's not like you're Blizzard or some bigshot company who can pump out the dough and has a huge market share... I'm curious to who this might be though ?

On DA, no. If it's for a company, yes. But I don't own a company, so, of course not.

of course, if it's someone who draws that kind of loot. in fact, professional artists get that kind of pay from corporate clients all the time.

the question isn't whether he (or she) is worth it, but whether he/she is worth it TO YOU (or to me).

i voted YES, but i don't have that kind of bread. never have... maybe someday!

I don't have that kinda cash either... even if I did, I highly doubt I would use it on just one single illustration.

yeah, that's what one might get for doing a cover illustration for a major magazine or a movie poster or something.

private collectors pay a lot for art, but i'm not much of a collector.

Traditional art sells for that much. So I guess it would be the same as having the only one of it's kind.
People who are used to DA commissions (and other people for that matter) seem to almost get freaked out by real world art prices. But at the end of the day art is worth the price of the highest bidder and a lot of art makes more than $2k.

Anyways it sounds like it would be an awesome thing to work on.
