Only took me about 2 years but I finally came out with another video! Not a lot of artists out there give the straight numbers related to commercial work in the games industry so I thought I'd do a video where I do just that. If you want to know how much artists make that work for Magic: The Gathering, Blizzard, Riot, etc. this is the video for that. If you feel there was any information that I didn't go over that you'd like to hear more about let me know in the comments and I'd be happy to do a future video about it.

Great video man! It's nice to see someone talking about this stuff.

@user-by4ru5pr1g 2 года назад

Making a video about how you time manage and maybe a day of freelance would be great. Do you have a work out routine or what is food dieting is like. I think these could be important topics to talk about.

Wizard’s should’ve paid u a lot for designing Dockside Extortionist! It’s one of the most popular cards in magic the gathering right now!

Holy crap. Those numbers are insane for someone like me who lives in Poland (or any eastern european country). Our minimum monthly wage is around 500$... If you earn above 1000$ per month you are considered middle-class. Motivation boost! :P

Just found your channel through the Caitlyn splash video. Really like your easy going and candid way of talking and explaining. An update to this video would be awesome with how much the economy has change over the last couple of years, if you are up for it :D

@ForrestImel 4 месяца назад

Honestly, as much as I wish these rates have changed with the times, they really haven't as far as I know. All sorts of different clients raise their rates for different reasons, I think out of all of these listed the only client I know to have officially raised their rates is Hearthstone, I think they pay a couple hundred more dollars nowadays.

@Sarah-sf3zp 4 месяца назад

@@ForrestImel Thanks for the update, but honestly disheartening to hear, glad Hearthstone is stepping up at least

Thanks very much for sharing this! Could you go into more detail about copyright, licencing and pricing, is this pricing including copyrights? Would be great to see a video on the legal side of things and what to expect

He's handsome lul Thanks for the video, really informative. And I feel about the insecure thing. I was just watching a video by Dorian iten and he was talking about his social anxiety and how he is experiencing it in live time, flight/fight mode. That vid kinda made me sad cuz I saw myself in his words lol. But we can all get through it :D and your following luv u

Hi Forrest, thanks for explaining this in such detail. What are some AA companies that I can try to reach to get work? I wrote down a few to try, I would like any suggestions on how to reach out properly to get to do some TCG or tabletop game art, and maybe even mobile game art!

@MKPwrz 2 года назад

In terms of character concept art what is it their paying you for? E.g like designing the character / sketches and development. How much of package of art are you providing in terms of designs. Also love you bro your awesome I've watched your journey over the last atleast 8 years super inspiring

@petrellasdarkvein1808 2 года назад

This was legitimately interesting to listen to. I don't know if you answer questions, but I had a thought. Do you think artists that decide to go down the erotic route end up permanently capping their earning potential pretty low? I'd imagine most companies wouldn't want anything to do with them and they end up stuck in the private commission zone.

@ForrestImel 2 года назад

You might become a little less likely to work with particular companies, but private commission rates can sky rocket when you are an artist willing to go the erotic route. Also, from what I've heard from other erotic artists is that the myth of blacklisting those artists is not as serious as some people make it out to be. People don't care if you draw dicks in your spare time if you can still draw their IP's character really well.

Question, how does an artist go about doing work for places like Pathfinder, magic the gathering, or hearthstone?

@cloudsofsunset7323 2 года назад

would you make a video recommending for artists starting at level 0? you know... the small comissions

@adamdawidowicz7130 2 года назад

Thank you for the video. I've got a question - is royalty even a thing nowadays in freelancing? Or is it always work for hire type of contracts? I mean obviously those "serious" contracts, not "oh I'm going to develop next LoL and you'll get rich so work for us for free".

@ForrestImel 2 года назад

Some small companies "offer" royalties, but most of that offer is based on them not being able to hire you for the full amount you'd like in that moment and is meant to manipulate you into thinking it's a worthwhile gig because it COULD pay out more over time. I'll be coming out with a video on this in the future, but if a passive income stream is what you're hoping for as an artist there are a lot of routes you can personally take without having to rely on a client.
