now that ive got a few more followers, i thought id ask...
13 years ago
...whether many of you would be interested in commissioning me.
i was thinking since i dont have too too many followers yet that i could offer both commissions and requests with little fuss. of course, paying me would bump you to the top of my priority list and guarantee that i would actually finish.
there are many ways of requesting payment so i thought id also ask how you guys feel about this method (assuming someone asked, for example, a full color piece):
one sketch to be approved by the commissioner before proceeding, and when the work is finalized i would send out a watermarked sample before requesting full payment in exchange for the clean hi-res version.
lastly i also have to ask on your opinion on how much you think i should charge for a piece like my last request (Shadow) which was painted in full color and included a background.
if any of you could help me out id really appreciate it.

You should start out offering some simpler, quicker commissions. Black and White, or Sketch commissions at a very low price. 5 dollars, perhaps. Then you could offer your colored, shaded ones at a higher price. 10-15. Once you mull around on here for a few months, then you could bump some of those colored/shaded prices up a bit.
As for your method of giving the piece over, it sounds pretty standard. Good luck.
