....that's actually only like 1/16 of the actual image...*sigh*...I
need to like start charging by the pixels or something, cause $250
isn't worth it if it takes this long. I mean, it took me like 20
minutes just to do THAT! 😵

And....you have done the easiest part first. But, people have to know what
the final cost will be before they decide if its worth it to start the
project. What can you do? Look at it this way...$250 is 3 or 4 days work at
MacDonald's...and you don't end up smelling like stale grease.

Huh? Personally I did the hardest part...well for me anyway, the
other parts of that section will be fairly quick to fix. The
"hardest" part will probably be reconstructing the ear...and finishing
the one guys shirt, since I need to preserve the square pattern, but
that's already half done.

Charge by the number of initial pixels. Giving them options for like:
Print Quality: 300dpi
Web Quality: 72dpi

And then just use the base image size. So for like a 3x5 inch photo
at 300dpi it would have a total of 1,350,000 pixels. So then you
could charge 1/10,000th of a cent per pixel making the total cost $135

And for the current image, which is 9x7 inches at 300dpi, it has
5,670,000 total pixels so it would cost $567.

Tres simple, non?

8 hours * 7.15 = 57.20 * 4 days = $228.80

....apparently the minimum wage is higher where you're at...unless
McDonalds pays better than minimum wage.
