So, how do you figure your prices?  I'm going through and reorganizing things, but I find myself uncertain of how much to charge for things.  I don't really have a set time on arts, some take longer than others but I've never timed myself so I have no idea how to go about setting prices properly.

comments / favs / watches?

Comments: I like comments. I apprecate any comments I get. But I only reply to helpful, explanitory, or otherwise meaningful comments.
Favs: I like favs. I like favs a lot. But I would prefer you not to fav my entire gallery. Of course, I can't stop you, but it makes more sense that if you want to look at my gallery, it's much easier to just go directly to it.
Watches: I love watchers. You all make me feel like my arts are worthwhile. But I won't add you just because you add me. I'll check your page out, and if I'm really, really REALLY impressed, I'll add you.

I based my prices on how much I feel I should be paid for my art. Like what it's currently worth, you know? That's a bad way to go about things but honestly if I charged people per hour, they'd be paying me a hefty price for how slow I am than for anything else ;; That's just me though -- you might be faster than me!

There is this software called Cash Clock! It helps you determine how much money you'd charge based on the time it it took you to draw a sketch, a bust, etc. Basically if you'd charge 10 or 25 bucks for something, as an example. :D
