Shotout to Leona and Cheka for singlehandedly getting me out of the worst artblock I've had in months, love these guys
Tbh I just wanted to draw Cheka doing that one thing kids do when they treat you like a climbing tree, I have other drawing about that but it's a work in progress, it was supposed to be animation practice but Ibis got some crunchy quality on the canvas if you don't pay so. Yeah. Also Grim is here bc why not

Childhood encounter AU! BabbyGale got separated from his mom mushroom hunting and rather than stay put he ended up more lost trying to show off his navigation skills, luckily helping people lost in the woods is literally Asena’s whole upbringing.
They’re the same age but Asena is a runt.

I just received my little cow and I love him! Will leave a formal review. I wanted to ask out of professional/amateur curiosity, how do you price your works? If you’ve already answered this or if you’re not comfortable, no worries. I’m just curious since I know a lot goes into it.
Ah, so glad you enjoy your cow!
Okay so this is such an excellent question, really got me to thinking, and I hope this little pie chart helps in giving an answer.
These values might differ a little (electricity and photos are almost certainly less than 10% combined), but I think for me it's pretty close to these. Basically I give myself a theoretical hourly pay for making and glazing my guys, but then buffer that with cost of firing kilns, the time it takes to document my pieces for sale, and the materials that I need.
In addition one other factor in pricing that is sort of an invisible slice of this chart is making sure that when I am selling my pieces on consignment that I am still happy with the amount I am getting at a lower price break. If I'm only getting 55-60% of the profit from an item is that still meeting this pie charts requirements? A similar aspect is true to make sure I'm at least slightly factoring in Etsy fees.
A lot of this is learning, doing comparisons with other people's similar work, and rough estimates. I am not precisely timing myself with every creature, or constantly checking my electricity bill to calculate what 4 firings cost me, but I do know a large cow takes me about an hour to make while an itty bitty cow is 15-20 minutes.
And finally, I'm certainly not an expert! While I'm fortunate that selling ceramics has become the majority of my income, I'm still not quite full time at it and am learning erry day. So hope this makes sense, answers your question, and thank you again!
