AutisticFurs Hey guys! Cedric Browning here. I didn't have too much motivation to write an update for this month, but due to the recent events, I got obligated to write something about it.
Last night, circa 11:50 pm, over the sourthen part of Mexico, an earthquake happened. It was one of the strongest shakes in 100 centuries, with a scale of 8.2 Ritcher. Gladly, on Puebla it felt a bit strong but almost everything is ok. But the most damaged states: Oaxaca (with 23 deads) Tabasco and Chiapas (together having a total of 7 deads). They also say that the Hurricane Irma will come stronger than ever. For those who are Reading this and live near were I live, embrace yourself and always carry a jacket, hoodie or something that can protect you from the wind and rain. My friend
SnapSharkets from Veracruz says he didn't feel the earthquake but his zone is too close at the center of the hurricane. Stay strong, Mexico.
Moving to sorta less depressing news. My family has decided to move to another house. A good thing about this new decision is that I get to sleep and work on a bigger room of my own. Now I will, probably, be able to do more streams and work on new doodles as well. A sad part about this is that, despite the college being closer to me than in the other place I used to live in, the public transport options had been reduced to only one bus. Well, I do walk from new home to college and it takes me 30 minutes, but the fuck I will walk at the night when the class of the day ends and its dark as hell, not mentioning the security at this country and all the possibilities to get assaulted by both muglers and policemen.
Also a thing I was highly doubting about putting on a journal or not. I'm interested and looking for some feedback, that if you would be interested in taking commissions from me. I wanna see some ideas of how much a piece like X drawing will cost, if I do it on limited spots, recomendations like these for starters. I consider myself as a starter because, despite I've been drawing for 7 almost 8 years, I didn't do any commissions yet!
Welp, that's my report. Anything new that happens over here I'll try to communicate over here the sooner it's posible to me. Bye!

As for the specifics of it, I personally suggest pricing at 20$ for sketches/lineart that you do and 30$ for shaded and colored pieces. I say this mainly because that is super common for artists of your skill level (and sometimes beyond that too.) At least for this site, it seems to be the main baseline for a economic equilibrium/happy medium between how much others who can afford commissions can usually afford and how much art is actually worth (hint: a lot more than most can afford). I recommend starting with 20$ as the minimal price and only ever moving up from there if you decide after doing many commissions that it seems appropriate. That is my advisement on that.
And as far as slots go, slots are usually specifically to solve a timing issue, either because a popufur is getting flooded with commissions way more than any artist could do in a timely manner, or because, probably much more relatable to your situation, some current circumstance limits how much art an artist can make at once. I'd say that you should try to put out your first commission announcement without any mention of slots (at least, not a slot limit, though a running list of comm progress is always a good idea if you can keep up with managing it) whenever you feel ready to do that.
Those are my thoughts on it. I wish you well with it :3
