I'm contemplating opening up for comissions...

No, this is not in any way a guarantee that I will. I'm just thinking about it.
See, there's this thing.

I want it. Like...a lot.
I can't justify taking £85 out of my meagre wages and I don't feel like raiding my savings account for frivolities. So my only other option is to do comissions. Or spend evenings under lamp posts. But honestly I think I'll get more attention this way.
Joking aside, I was trying to think of how I'd do it. Currently I'd like to do just flats since a full colour image with shading, highlights and effects takes me a long-ass time and is difficult to keep momentum for. I don't particularly want to charge minimum wage for my images because that would be an outrageous cost for the 'quality' you get from me.
I was thinking of just doing flat colours for inks that people might have gotten elsewhere. I'm not interested in colouring an inked image you just found or something, I prefer to get consent to colour from the original artist as much as possible. I don't want to just take someone's work and do what I want with it without permission. I was also trying to think of cost and I felt £10 or about $13 felt reasonable.
I'm open to comments on this. Would you guys be interested? Would the bove price feel reasonable for a flat coloured image? I'd send both the flattened image as PNG as well as the layered PSD if you requested it in case you want it to get completed by someone else at another time.
Please let me know in the comments below. (Please, no "I would but I'm broke" comments. They're really not as helpful as you think they are).

I'm just putting feelers out for now.
