A Quick Reference Guide to Purchasing Art from @klye
I've included a price list below and examples of various illustration details in order to help people better understand what adequate compensation for my time and artwork is. Hopefully this cuts down on me having to explain my pricing! Consider the following list as sort of a minimum pricing guide when you contact me to get your post drawn up:
Small Illustration or Icons:
Example:
Price: $5 - $10 SteemDollars
If you just need a small icon or artwork done up for your next post it's asked you please pay at least $5 to $10 minimum to help compensate me for my time and design work. Believe it or not a man with such artistic talents like myself is not incredibly financially well off..!
Medium Sized Art Doodles:
Example:
Price: $10 - $25 SteemDollars
Looking to create a medium sized header (or footer) image for your posts that grabs users attention and makes them click on your post? I specialize in hand drawn artistic clickbait that increases user engagement and helps with your overall votes and profits in the long term!
Larger, More Complex Drawings:
Example:
Price: $15 - $50 SteemDollars
Looking to have a wonderful fully coloured illustration done by myself to complement your latest post? Look no further than myself to illustrate your vision and bring your dreams to life with hand drawn art by yours truly. Why go and grab some generic image off of Google when you can get a custom illustration (or 10) done up and truly tell your story the way you intended?

Image Usage and Royalties:
The free icons I give away at the end of some of my posts can be used without charge, although if you do happen to use my icons it'd be greatly appreciated if you at the very least give me a shoutout ("Thanks @klye for the icons") and best case scenario maybe send me a some fair percentage of your posts payout (+10% or more would be sweet).
It's unlikely I am able to accurately express my gratitude to folks who support me through giving me work through art, upvoting my posts and ultimately sharing the wealth they manifest with their posts that feature icons or art I've released.

Thank you venus! It's sort of been a learning curve for me to figure out what I needed to do to optimize my time spent on various art pieces. Now when folks ask how much my art pieces generally cost I can link them to this post and hopefully it helps save me some time repeating myself. :)

<<Warning, SATIRE ENCLOSED>> I commissioned @klye to make a drawing. He sent it snail mail. And there were ACTUAL SNAIL in the package. And a wild bobcat. So, in conclusion, yes. <</End Warning>>

I've been pretty swamped lately. I apologize if my turn around was slow. :/

Crap, I thought you would see right away that was satire! Sorry. Your turnaround was awesome especially for the quality of your work. I was just trying to be funny and failing lol.
The post I used the commissioned art on got upvoted by @berniesanders AND made over $300. I'm almost afraid to tell people the secret but screw it! Can't thank you enough. And - here the art is in all of its glory for all to see

I can't believe that I was the first one to do that. An hour old post with 17 upvotes that included a free 3D upvote button, just there, free to use, and nobody did this???? Really? Wait, will this encourage them to upvote your post, or my reply? Will it work for both?? Maybe I should do two.
Yeah, now we can both see if it works. THANKS KLYE!
For an incredibly talented artist, you are also very generous.

I had to set minimum prices after spending a few hours drawing stuff for folks and ending up making less than enough to purchase a decent pizza. Unfortunately I'm not able to crank out art work for free anymore since the demand has gone up and my available free time has diminished.

If you have a photo/idea that you'd like me to turn into a caricature I can do it for as little as $10.
The price of course increases the more time and detail that goes into the illustration.
That being said I do enjoy working with my clients to get it to where they see it in their mind.
