Description
Recently, asked me to do a picture of her OC Kasumi and a Naruto character. After describing that I couldn't guarantee a finished request in any amount of time, she asked to commission me instead, and I agreed.I've been thinking about opening point commissions for a while now. But, I've been hesitant to start due to my project and general life taking up too much time for me to do so productively. Also, I was unsure of how I should price it... and if there would be any real demand for my level of ability.
At this moment, I think I can probably handle one commission a week and still live up to the rest of my obligations.
So, I'm turning to you guys for advice. What would you normally pay for a point commission, or do you know an artist with a commission layout that I can look at? What do you charge for point commissions? And, would you commission me for art?
Thanks for the feedback. And, don't worry if you've already requested a picture from me, nothing that I come up with today for commissions will change those agreements.
Also, if you have an OC or something that you just want a sketch of to see how they would look or for reference for other artists you wish to commission. I'll do those for free. That's something that doesn't take too much time for me, and I'd be happy to help
Here's an example of something I'd do for free, It's the character study I did for this picture:
And another for a request I'm doing (not an OC, just an example)
....
Also, just to now,
How does this look? (as a pencil sketch). Is this what you imagined? Is everything okay? Are there any elements you want me to change before I start to ink or color it?
Thank you for the opportunity. I really like this character, and think she's really cute
....
Back to everyone again
Thanks for all of the support. I'm really glad all of you think my art is worth looking at... I never imagined people would actually look at the stuff I put up, let alone favorite them and watch me

EDIT: due to the lack of answers. I probably won't be opening commissions.

Hmm... commissions are good if you're bored or need points, but they can get... stressful. Fast. I'm rather backed up in commissions myself at the moment. I would only open commissions if you are super committed and know you can keep up with it.
That being said, prices are really up to you. Prices generally vary depending on the kind of art; I imagine you would charge more for a straight up photoshopped picture than you would for a sketch like this. You're welcome to look at my commissions prices for help, but I think ultimately it's up to you.

Yeah... IDK. I think I could do one a week, and if I only open commissions per month (like four or five at a time) I think I could do it.
