How much should I commission my art for?

~IdentifiedAnonymous Aug 18, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

Hey everyone! Well I want to start commissioning off my work because I'm in desperate need of some money and my job just isn't giving me enough hours.

So here's some examples of the type of work that I'm willing to commission:

Colored: [link] [link]

Line art: [link]

First off, do you think my art is well enough that I can commission? Also, how much money do you think the Colored and Line Art should be worth? I'm willing to draw mostly anything other than Furries, Mecha, Nudity, or anything absurd that I can't think off the top of my head. One more thing, if I can commission where in the forums should I announce it?

Also, I would only want money, not points.

Thanks everyone D;

The anatomy is pretty decent compared to what a lot of people do, but you should work on your inking and coloring technique. Are you using a tablet?
Your inks are very sterile because there is no variation in line weight, and the line overall is too thin.
The shading is too blurry so the forms are not defined well. Don't use the airbrush to shade, the results are never good.

I can't tell you how to price your work, look around at what other people charge (search journals for the term "commissions") and see how competitive your work is. But you're better off looking for work outside of deviantART - it's hard to sell your service to other artists.
