I'll pay in bits.

Thank you for your order Mystery of Red. 
I am still new to the site but it looks like it's 1000 bits for 1 ingot. 
If this is the case that would make your total $1,500,000 bits. Is this okay with you?

The going rate for ingots to bits is in the range of 350 to 500. Anything higher is price gouging.

Oh good to know. With that in mind, we can go for a solid $550,000 bits for an exchange rate just above the lower exchange rate.

Cancelling order! Didn't realise how expensive it would be. Sorry! 

Your prices are very high to be fair. There isnt a huge art market here but nothing usually sells for ingots and generally at most 25-50k in bits range. Never USD. I am not sure you will get any traction, especially with only one example of pretty simple artwork

In comparison, another player asked for pricing values of their art and it was suggested the pieces with backgrounds and animations could easily garner over 100k

This is the price I sell my art on other sites. It’s okay if others cannot afford. I do sell my art on other sites and this is a full body image where my normal composition for this price is just a head shot. I could do $250,000 bits for a simple head shot but this work is hand made and it take me at least an hour to get the sketch and the line art. 
 

Its fine if you sell it on other sites, but markers and economy is different on other games. 

In comparison, another player asked for pricing values of their art and it was suggested the pieces with backgrounds and animations could easily garner over 100k bits. 

You wont get anyone paying these prices here. Especially since newer players already struggle for money and others can get more for less. I hand draw all my art and dont charge anywhere near as much. Different games have different economies

To be fair I wasn’t accepting bits in the original post. I was accepting the currency equivalent to what I sell this for on other sites. I’m not trying to be rude but I am a real person and this does take my real time. I don’t use any tools to speed up the process. Just hard core blank canvas and a couple reference photos. The price I ask is less than what I make hourly at my job and I spend and where between 2-8 hours a piece. Maybe in the future I will offer an adoptable that is more affordable for those with bits. 
Though I suppose I should ask, is it common for players to exchange bits for ingots on the site. I could consider dropping more of the price If the ingots exchange doesn’t really occur. The currency does seem to be a bit imbalanced on the game at the moment. 
Edit: I suppose 100 bits -1 ingot is likely closer to the actual economy on the game. 

You and every other artist on here. A lot of art here is hand drawn, takes time and effort and no one speeds up the process. Thats just the market for art and the games pricing. Most artists have however, perfected their craft and are just able to create quicker. 

And no the real economy is not 100 bits to 1 ingot. It is 350-500 bits a ingot is generally what they sell for. I sell them this way all the time. My art is priced 50k bits or 100 ingots, which is valued 500 ingots to 1, on the pricier end, for highly highly detailed art, days worth of work and still, most player choose to pay bits. I would charge more, however they are old bases I have done years ago and they are just recolors. I personally have drawn my whole life and done digital art since 2009 so I am much quicker with simpilar works. My current Easter tag probably took 30 to 40 minutes and its not a detailed piece. 

You can price how you like, but the art market here is already pretty small, with only a small handful of players ever buying any, and if someone could get a detailed tag with a background and even animation for 100k or so, they are going to go that route versus 550k for just a simple full body. It wouls be asking to pay pricing for the Mona Lisa for not that kind of quality. 

And again, to reiterate, you can price how you see fit, but you likely wont see much if any sales.
