Tell Me Where It Hurts - Garbage
(This was originally posted on my DA journal, but I thought it's better to post here as well.)
-------------------------------------------------
Because I can't do a poll.

So I'm asking this question:
What do you think if I open commissions?

I would really, really like to know. U\\\U Concerning the amount of school work, I don't know how much can I draw and I'm not sure if people would be interested.

I'd love to know any kind of opinions...like,
- prices suggestions, $2? $5? $100? xDD
- how many slots, 2? 5? etc
- quality, like sketch/refined and detailed etc
- or NOO I'M JUST NOT INTERESTED IN YOUR COMMISSIONS GO IMPROVE YOUR SKILLZ MOARRRR lol

I will happily take in any kind of opinions ;D
thankyou very much!!

I think people would be interested if they we're priced right, I mean you could aim for around $10 - $20 for stuff similar to your gallery and add more for BG's extra characters etc etc.
But it comes down to how much you're comfortable with selling your art for.

i always seen it as good to start with 3 slots and with your amazing talents u could easily pull off commissions for $10 to $20 : D

if you go for 2$ or 5 You will have your sheezy raped and filled with Commisions, or you can go with the whole "Here's 2 bucks!" Then you draw something that took half a second. And if they give you a gagillion dollars, create a masterpiece. Theres my input

Your art's too gorgeous to ask too little for it. I'd say, range it between 10 and 15 dollars. And perhaps more if you do something very elaborate.

As for slots, 2 or 3 seems like a good choice considering school might get in the way. The thing to remember is that when making commissions, you have to keep into account that the commissionner may not be very patient, and may well be very demandie.

I say, go for it, really. Try and see.

depending on the size you cost more if bigger... custom character you draw for people should be $5 a sketch and depending on how much color if the whole page do about 10 and if character depends if custom or not the size and etc... if color the whole thing and background should total it about $40 i should say to keep people coming to you for you may be cheap considerd to others but the public would rather go to you then any were else so you get more business... you know what i mean? if any questions ask me if wanted any for i am selling my art work to and right now there is a bidding on one that went way over the origional price...

Dun make your prices to high that the average teen on this site can't afford it. But since you have better quality art, it makes sense to have a peice about 20 dollars to 40 dollars.

It also depends on the size and amount of effort you have to put into it.

Just use common sense and it'll work out fine
