Hello, everyone.
Guys, there's something I want to ask you.
When I open a commission, how much would you recommend?
I don't know how much I can get for my paintings because I've never held a commission.
So when I open the commission, I would like to ask you how much it would be appropriate to pay.

I'll take your answer to heart.
Imho start around the 75-100 mark then bump it by 25 each subsequent batch that you open. Keep an eye on how long it takes to get interest, you'll get outliers willing to pay a lot but in general you want consistency.
then add more per panel and extra character (macro) so like 10-15$ per panel. and 30$ for another macro.
love your art!
Personally, I'd think no less than $100 for a completed picture
I think that could be a good model if you want to attract customers. Keep in mind how long you work on each stage and how long you have practiced art to develop to determine prices. The values I've see mentioned here are probably correct around $80-$100 for a full finished piece and maybe more for extras (very detailed backgrounds, extra characters, extra panels and more). But you could also consider sketches for a much cheaper price so that your customers have more options and aren't locked out by high prices and give incentive for them to perhaps save up for a full piece later.
I would recomend looking at other artists you like and see their prices. That may give you an idea of where to start.
