Well, as far as pricing, what styles of art, and sizes of people are you offering? (such as an option between CG, Cel-shade, or lineart only; and shoulder+, waist+, or full body).

When you're pricing, really think about the difference between how hard to have to work for each one. Like if one is just a little more than the other, there shouldn't be much of a price change, however, if you have to work a great deal harder, then price it higher accordingly.

(also, you looking for a full year, or mebbe just a 3-month subby? :3)

Thank you for your intrest in helping!
I think I'll be offering pretty much anything. Lessee, Bust, waist-up and fullbody.

mm, I think it takes as longer for me to softshade than cellshade, so that'd probably be cheaper then.

I'm not very sure how to price, tho, because this would be my first time commissioning my art for money. o ^o;;

( Anything is fine really, a 3-month would do~! :ninja: )

Well, think of it in terms of "Do I want to spend 3-5 hours doing a cel-shade waist up picture for only $10? :/ )

Rather than gearing towards prices customers think are fair (which are usually lower than what you deserve), you should really think about what's the least and most you would charge someone, then settle somewhere in the median.
Also consider the amount of time you spend on artwork. Where I live, minimum wage is $7.50/hour, but I usually spend about 5 hours at least on a soft shade picture which I only charge $20 for XD
So technically, I'm undercharging, but I personally find it a fair price. So it's a median price :3

hm, I guess.

I don't actually mind spending that much time on a drawing, so I'd rather have a fair price for the customers. I'll have low prices, atleast in the beginning to see if there are people intrested. But I will keep in mind tho, how much time I've spent on my drawings.
