I see people sell premade ones but on all of the sales they specify that you have to message them. rather than waste someones time I figure I ask here.

I was thinking that I would make funny signatures. Maybe animated ones. I have a lot of weird ideas and making weird photoshop edits on other sites is a hobby.

I'm just unsure if it's worth doing. If its like 5fg for an hour of work it's maybe better skipping this. Thanks in advance :)

You can’t expect to set a price based on what other people charge really. It’s about demand really. A lot of people charge 200 FG for a sig. I charge between 1500-3000 FG for a static to an animated signature. If I pull out the 3D guns a sig can easily end up over 10000 FG.

Good luck on your service, I recommend starting taking on the request forum first to get along with learning to create what customers ask for. When you have a nice little portfolio you can start your first service topic!

Cheers!

that's helpful. i was thinking i charge 10usd an hour in fg, and have the conversion based off the star donation amount for that day. just time myself, call it a day. if it takes 20 minutes and its $10 for 365 fg then a 120 price tag i guess. To me that seems fair so I'd probably start like that, but idk how long people are taking to make their signatures so maybe it isn't in reality.

do you figure 6-700 fg for that is a bit absurd? it's not for sale it was just something I did for fun for myself, but they'd probably be roughly that amount of effort. there was about 25 layers of editing and 13 or 15 cropped images along with a bunch of touchups and edits to each layer.

037 nailed it pretty much. To someone they might pay 10fg for that sig but to others who fall in love with your sig they might pay more even 2k if they like it so much
