Fifty bucks a month for the whole suite is half of one page of comics posted to my Patreon. And my Patreon is pretty tiny. Fifty bucks a month is less than I charge for one single-character flat color commission, which is something I can do in an hour or two. I am not at all surprised that most comic cover gigs pay like shit. Comics generally pay like shit. And all that said I sure did pirate Illustrator for a decade until I was at the point where paying the full subscription was the easiest route. If I was a broke student now I’d probably be getting into Affinity Designer instead of Illustrator.
