Kat -- some great advice here. Just because you don't have formal training, don't sell yourself short. You've got it!! and being an artistically challenged person (except when it comes to producing videos) I think it's amazing when someone creates fabulous artwork. And value is in the eye of the beholder as well. Take the advice, look what else is out there and pricing, tho there were some good ideas here, and go for it. I know you said you were planning on a Tyler Katoon. I'd be happy to pay:)

Thank you sweet Sue ... TylerToon is 80% complete. I just need to start coloring the background. I said that I will draw him before coming up with this idea, so KatToon is a gift.
Kat - thanks so much. Take your time. I know you're busy. And thank you so much for offering it as a gift but I really want to pay for it. Hey just think you can frame my payment and say "This was the first money I made as a professional artist." And I can say, "I knew her when." I also think $10 is :wub:too little for your drawing. I think you have to think of the time it takes you to do it...hourly and figure that out. It doesn't have to be ridiculously high but you should be compensated for your time. Also I was thinking you'd want to make sure that you copyright or probably trademark your name of KatToons. Not sure how you do it, check with Alice or Erin I guess. Oops as I'm doing this I googled kattoon and see there's one that already exists.:w00t: She doesn't capitalize the second T and I don't know whether she has a trademark. So check that out and if she doesn't have one, file for one. Otherwise might have to be Flufftoons or something.
I also know you are worried about your lack of formal art background and thus value of your work. When I buy a piece of art or craft that I like, I don't grill people about their formal education in it or how long they've been doing it. I just appreciate their talent. Period.
Anywho, just my thoughts. We all feel like your proud Aunties here for sure.

Good point, and Woah for having someone else who already exist with "kattoon". Can you send me the link? I did a quick search and came out with a website of a community to share cartoon drawings. How can I check if she has a trademark? awwh I like the name Kat(short for Katkoota) Toon (short for cartoon). Will see what can be done for this

I couldn't find the site again. :blink: But maybe you can google "how to check on a trademark" or something like that or ask Alice if she knows.
