Hey y'all. I was thinking of opening commissions but I really have no idea how much I'd price them for and since I'm pretty new here I dont trust myself in figuring out a price, so I'd rather let y'all suggest for me!

What I'll likely do is calculate the average off the suggestions and then use that as my pricing, because that's how I've done it for like every other art forum I've sold on lol.

My only issue is that I cant draw animals whatsoever, so I'd be doing gijinkas. I dont know how popular those are on here, which is another reason why I'd rather get suggestions on what to price my art at since I really have no clue.

I'll put some progress shots of an example gijinka to base prices off of and also a couple other random decent quality stuff I've made lately.

In order, the images are a sketch, lineart, flat color, and fully shaded, then an example of bust/headshot/knee up/etc. Then there's just some miscellaneous art because I feel like one drawing isnt enough to base pricing off of.

Keep in mind that the gijinka- the one with progress shots etc- is from like, today so its the best and most recent example of my work.

And that's about it for what I have that's decent quality since i've been sketching lately and pretty much nothing else.

I dont know how much I'd price my trash at so just let me know- preferably both in tu and cp- and i'll try to work something out so i can start taking comms.

;w; hello

Art pricing here really depends on the artist/commissioner. 

Some price based on what they'd charge for IRL commissions, so assuming 1 cp (which is equal to $1 USD) = 500k if you charged 20$ for a full piece you'd get 200 cp or 100 mil. I'd personally say this is definitely a fair way to price your art, but some might think differently. ^^

I usually charge like a total of $50 for a fullbody with full shading and a background but im terrible at math so im not sure how well that'd work out haha //shot

Even with that though the person wanted to pay me hourly so it ended up being a pretty high price and i feel like id probably end up doing smth a little more reasonable because i cant imagine people would think my garbage is worth that much |D

$50 would be 500 cp then, or roughly 250-300 mil in tu owo  

Your art isn't garbage omg xD I wish I could get my humanoid anatomy even close to yours. The eyes are really nice too x3
