A couple of blind bag repaints from the current MLP range. The brown one is based on my pig character designed by Synchra http://www.synchrastudios.com/galle.....tKrakenPig.png and the blue is based on a bluejay. Bases are applejack model and pegasus model respectively.
I'm thinking of offering these on commission, what would people be willing to pay?

I think I'd pay however much the price is for: the pony base itself (how much blind bags are), how much each color of paint I'd want that you'd need, and shipping. Perhaps more.
Sorry, don't want to seem like I wouldn't pay you or would only be giving you too little. I just don't think I'd pay buckets for a tiny painted pony...unless they were heavily modded with clay details or something. Or unless youd give a discount or other offer for someone who would want to buy more than one. C: either way I look forward to seeing others if you make them.
Now that I've re-read everything, it doesn't seem like youd make much profit if you did it my way unless you already had all the materials you'd need. I'm not good at pricing things...so maybe go off the base prices and everything to give you more money. I'm sure someone has already said something like that if you haven't already thought it yourself. I'll stop talking now x) these are quite lovely, though.

while I understand where you're coming from, material costs are pretty low for these things compared to labour. One of these ponies can take me a couple of hours, maybe less if I batch paint them but not a whole lot. So I'd need to charge quite a bit to make it worth the *time*. If you wouldn't want to pay that, that's fine, but they're never gonna be a couple of bucks simply because they are so labour intensive. Remember that digital artists have effectively zero marginal costs but charge a lot to cover the time it takes to paint a picture.
At the moment it's £10 for a simple repaint, £15 for a complex repaint and £20+ for anything with additional sculpting like hats, hairdos or armour. The ones in the picture fall firmly in the £15 category, £10 would be something like a single colour body, single colour mane and a cutie mark, most hasbro owned ponies would fall here unless they have additional accessories.
