Rules

AI Art: While we appreciate AI generated art, there are more appropriate communities to post that type of art to. Please keep posts to non-AI generated art only. This rule includes AI art that was then manually manipulated (e.g. drawing on top of something generated by AI).

Nudity: Nudity is and has always been a part of art, but it may be something that some users don't wish to see or cannot view in certain circumstances (e.g. at work). If your work contains nudity, please mark it as NSFW. Work that contains nudity that is not marked as NSFW will be taken down. As long as the NSFW tag is used, we welcome nude subject matter.

Spam: Please do not spam this community. Self promotion is fine if you just want people to be aware of your work, but blatant attempts at spam will result in the past being removed and possibly a ban. If you aren't sure if what you are posting is spam, please contact the moderator first.

Conduct: Be nice, and don't be a jerk. Constructive criticism is OK, but don't be mean. Encouragement is always welcomed.

Is $140 for this folder I painted too much? It did take me 7 hours to paint (The inside is also painted but just speckled pink) (lemmy.world)

Eh, it isn't about the quality of the work, it's about disposable income vs desire for a modified thing. It's going to be a hard sell. The form factor limits who will want it as an item for use, and the price is way above what most people would pay for that kind of thing for use.

It's also very difficult to mount or display, so someone into the art itself would be less interested vs a more conventional form factor for that kind of art.

Like others have said, build a portfolio and try for commissions. The time and effort involved to modify something like this without a buyer lined up is better spent elsewhere if you aren't doing it for your own pleasure as the primary goal.
