For my YCHs should I be doing flat price multi spot types more, or do you all think the auction style works better for my work? On one hand, I like doing unique pieces that are one of a kind types for people, but on the other, maybe I should consider the economic side of reproductions of a single piece with different characters and lighting at a lower entry price?

As for commissions, y'all know they are open right? Like, perpetually open. I haven't got a commission request in a long while, I've made some gift art for people for birthdays and what not. But my last commission for a paying customer was a few months ago. Do I need to adjust my prices or something? Or is it just that I have more of a watcher audience than a commission one?

I would love to be able to do enough commissions or YCHs to not have to worry about a day job at some point. But as it is I don't even make enough to cover the cost of the software I use off of commissions. To be fair I should move away from PS and go to a one time payment app or free app. But switching over an entire work flow is difficult
