Pixel Joint Forum: How much should pixel art like this cost?

Message

I have being asked to make some pixel art for a static construction game.
I am an illustrator, but it is my first work on that field (pixel art), and I don't know how much I should earn.
Here you have some examples of the work:

http://postimg.org/image/hy6oyujlb
http://postimg.org/image/7lkecrq27

It takes 0.5 - 1.5 hours for me to finish each one, but I don't know if it's fair to use the time as a factor, because sometimes it depends on the difficulties I find due to my inexperience.

So, please:
How much I should earn for each image?
Or how much would you pay for this kind of images?
What's your advice?

Thank you in advance.

Edit: I have tried to put correctly the images, but the link appear as broken ?

	Choose a price you're comfortable with. I wouldn't necessarily go by experience to determine the cost, since everyone has different experience. It depends more on the work I think. You work looks pretty well polished. I would definitely not go below $15/hr.. $15 would probably be on the very low end.. $30 and up would be on the high end I think, but it depends how much you value your work and how much people desire it.. everyone has a slightly different price model. This is just my opinion anyways, and might be good to get a few from various people. Edited by AlexHW - 26 August 2014 at 8:47am

	Those aren't pixel art. They're downrezzed drawings or vectors.
