Heyyy, I've been thinking for a while about do art commissions ((Would be about 100g)) since I have some art talent.
I've been shying away from it because 1. I'm not a very social person x'D and 2. I have no idea if i'd get responses. ((I also have a huge fear of letting people down))
So some examples of my art would be
This is a gift for Autobotphoenix! Purple Fire! Here she is ;u; sorry for the wait x'D
For Mistenbelle on the 'Draw the pet above you' forum
I'm so happy you like it <3 ;u;
Maria, Gift for Rosegarden, I hope you like it! Even if it made on paint x'D
The first two are what I usually do because they're simple and usually very quick.
The last one is much more complex and takes much longer time wise.
I have SAI, But I'm still getting used to it so.
What do you think?
Also how on earth do you send people gold? X'D for commissions..

Wow, I like th way you did the pixels ;u: I can'y do pixel art to save my life XD
(Not counting photo editing)
I'd say 5k or so, maybe 10k :3
Also, to "send gold", get a really uselessish item like a magic mushroom and send them one of the price they would pay.

Oh, by the way, to ping (@), there is a "ping users" text space above the formatting stuff :3
And it's fine, your choice :D

@Ivywoods,
I would say, it depends. Something like the first example I would pay 30k gold for. Something like the latter two, I probably would not be a customer. ^.^''' I'd be happy to give more explanation as to why if you would like. But anyway, to me, it would be a consistency question.

Wow! thank you ;u;
I really wasn't expecting this much gold for any of my art x'D
Yeah, the last one is a little messy, I need a lot more practice with it >w<
Although if you could go into detail about it that would be great!
((So I can see if I can do anything about it))

You could probably charge a little more; the fact these were done in Paint makes them even more impressive!
Such a cute style though. And no, don't feel like you're letting anyone down! Go for it!
edit: also, Sai is amazing. You could probably use the Binary tool to replicate the hard edged style, till you can get a grip on the program.(if you need any help, i've been using it for several years now, in addition to knowing many resources for tutorials and brush/texture settings. You can inbox me or whatever, any time!)

Thank you very much!
I might do more of a 'name-your-price' sorta thing ^^
So I get more experience with paint and some other sylesti breeds >w<
Thank you! ;u;
I love your style as well <3
((Everyone here can draw humans except me x'D))
I work on laptop and laptop mouse ((The little square thing on under the keyboard))
So with SAI I don't have the advanced tools like tablets users have, ;u; *shakes fist* Curse you SAI!!
Thank you though!

WHOA you mean these are mouse drawings? And not even a regular mouse, one of those godawful trackpads that i can barely use as a mouse let alone to draw with!
Buut then i guess that means you're not aware of the magic of the Lineart Layer options? The fact you can do lineart with a mouse? It's tough to get used to but i can attest it works. As much as i'd recommend investing in a tablet if you really love drawing, you can still get clean lineart. Shading is still a pain though!
Just four years ago i was pretty much where most people start digital art at. That was the first time i was in an art shop, and i drew so much in 2011 that i improved sooo much. As long as you're drawing daily and are always looking to improve, you will!
