And back to commissions?

General
Okay, this is something I am kind of considering again, but with a bit of a more optimistic feel to it than before.
I have been getting a lot of requests lately. And to be honest, it has been great. Many new watchers came in and it’s great to see so many people who truly enjoy what I do. Plus these drawings were a good way of expanding my gallery and making it more appealing for others.
On that note, thank you all for viewing and liking my work, it means a lot to me. Because I know that behind those simple favs people truly find something about what I do that I love. That idea is very encouraging
However, although it’s great I am getting so many requests, it also takes in time for me and there have been things I wanted to draw or write for myself. That’s a bit more difficult to do because I find it hard to deny a request. Still, I put time into these things and with how many I’ve gotten a little more motivation would be nice.
So I am considering to, once again, move over to commissions. It may sound greedy of me but I think it’s only fair to get something for the work and time I put into requests for others. At first I didn’t mind doing it for free when the number was smaller but now these are being request almost every second day and it’s a bit much. If I’m going to do it, I want something for it.
But unlike last time, instead of just doing it, this time I want to hear feedback from you, my watchers.
Now that I have had newcomers that I started to get a good connection with, from which I know they like my work, I want to ask you if you think this is a good idea.
The rules from before remain the same: 5 euro per character drawn. Backgrounds don’t add anything. And only with excessive detail will I maybe ask for a bit more.
So what do you guys think? If you were to ask me for a drawing again sometime, would you be willing to pay that?
At least compared with last time, where it also was a test to see if people appreciate my work enough, I now know that that is the case. This is simply because I just want to get something for the time I spent on it.
But again, for those who have asked for a request before this post, you won’t have to pay. As for those who ask for one after this: your request/commission will be put on hold until I’ve decided whether or not I will actually move over to commissions.
Anyway, thanks for reading, I hope to hear your feedback soon.
