I must MUST congratulate you Badname on EXCELLENT, 5 star! (frog splash - see RVD in WWE pro wrestling) work on models! Let me be the next in the already infinite line of people to tell you that you've got REAALLL!!! talent.
I really could use your abilities cuz i'm a picture perfect programmer with only decent art skills, so i'm not in the big picture of game making
About your question on costs. I think I have a good idea - here goes.
Me being a poor boy thinks it's a good idea if you could keep SOME models free and start modelling for people personally. That be, people request you a model, you negotiate a price with them and then release with that price.
Now, 1 prob with that is that if MANY people start requesting, negotiating would cost time - hmmm... The best thing i thunk for this is to first start out small, only a few clients at a time, making a variety of models (all around) and then fix your prices for future models based on these - good idea?
Another way to go about this is to enter teams of programmers on the DB gaming community but not just ordinary freeware games. Games that will bring in money for the team and hence for you too - this way you get fame and fortune!
Let me ask you - when you started out in art designing, did you make such great images / models / textures right away? Or did you need some practice?
I wish you all the best for ur future talent and don't forget us little ones - pls keep a few models free okay?
. Hope to see you in DreamWorks
NOTE: No, i'm not just sucking up, i meant it all - really... REALLY... REALLY! etc.
For when they said I couldn't, I did...
