the #my200vsbutch200 is a very funny tag... until you see a bunch of great artists horrendously undercharging their beautiful artwork.
I myself don’t commission my art, but I have friends who do. If you undercharge your art you are harming:
1) your own finances
2) the finances of other artists
3) the expectations of what something should cost vs the work put into it.
You are worth it! Raise your prices!

I tutor math and a similar concept applies. A lot of improvement happened when the tutors got together to agree that we all deserved better rates instead of trying to go to war with outbidding each other.
Don't fight your fellow tradesmen! Unite and demand adequate pay!
