Gothic Art, anyone?

[Lady Eponiki]

Hi everyone,

As an expierment, I put some of my art pieces on gothicauctions.com, to
see if they would sell... I'm a wee bit doubtful, but we'll see :} So, if
anyone is interesting in buying original fantasy/gothic art, go to:

....and see it for yourself :} I'd appreciate any feedback/suggestions, that
sort of thing :}

Thanks!
~Lady Epona

No offense meant, but your prices seem a little steep for unframed,
unmatted work. For work that small, I'd expect at least matting. Also,
not many people go for pencil work, IME. I'd try expanding your horizons
into using only charcoal, and working a little bit bigger. It tends to
look a bit more professional, and you'll get richer darks and lights,
without shiny areas.
Since you obviously like doing fantasy art, I highly recommend going to
a Star trek, or some other manner of fantasy/gaming/comic convention to
look at people selling artwork. A college colleague of mine found
conventions really helpful for her fantasy work. It's a really good way
to gauge current fantasy art prices, and you may make a few connections
that'll help you sell your work.
