So I’m a bit low on money (actual money, not Magistream gold), and I’m wondering if my art is worth anything. Would anyone be interested in paying me for commissions?
Here’s my Deviantart
I’m not good at stuff that’s too complex, and I prefer cel shading to anything else, so my prices would vary depending on complexity - like a sketch would be less expensive than just base colors, and base colors would be less than fully shaded, etc.
Any suggestions or interest?
Thank you

Hey, your stuff is lovely!

I think you could easily charge $30 for a fully shaded and colored piece.

Maybe $20 for flat-colored, and $15 for lineart?

Oh goodness, that much? Thank you! Would people really be willing to pay that much??
Also, Paypal is pretty easy to use, isn't it? I'm hoping that'd be the best way to receive payment

I'd pay $25-30 for a fully shaded and colored piece- your stuff is so pretty! Maybe go down from there for other stuff? $5 for sketch, $15 for lined, $20 for flat color or shading?

Thank you so much for your input! I think that sounds like a good price range.

Well, it's been ages since I've used deviantart, but I'm pretty sure that's accurate!

Also this probably seems like a dumb question, but should I leave my signature out of finished commissions or keep it in? What's the protocol for that?? lol

I personally like it when there’s a signature on art I commission, but it’s really up to you.
On the note of commissions, how much would two not-quite human people and a ghost wolf be?

Okay! I'd honestly prefer to leave it in.
Ooooh I dunno. I'm planning to post a commission thread either later tonight or tomorrow since I'm still trying to figure out pricing. Sounds like some fun characters! I'll let ya know when my thread's up lol

Most artists I've encountered keep their signature in, and actually add a clause asking people not to edit the signature out, because unfortunately there are a lot of art thieves.
