Honestly, BJD artists are underpaid.
They are probably (maybe next to Pullip) the ones that receive the lowest pay compared to any other doll community.
If I think how much time I put into a really detailed face-up (i.e. several layers of blushing with skin texture, eyebrows, lashes etc.) it's ridiculous people already think 50$ is too much.
That's also the reason I pretty much stopped face-up commission and mostly switched to airbrushing fantasy parts.
One hour of work versus twenty hours for the same payment does make a big difference.
And people complain more and more artists stop taking commissions.
Guess why, if you know the only thing that gets you a little money is being an Andreja clone, while being paid nearly nothing for your time and health, you rather stick to your own dolls.
