Okay.

So.

Commissions.









...I have no idea how to price my art.

I know it's never a good idea to ask other people for the worth of your art, but I'm not quite sure what else to do? I mean, if you ask for too much then you're doomed from the start, but if you ask for too little then it'll be really difficult to raise prizes later.

Here's what I'm thinking. Let me know if it's too much, too little, or reasonable. I'd also probably only be doing cats for now.

(I really don't want people buying painted stuff, at least until I get better at it, so I jacked up the price, haha)

That seems kinda expensive to me for just my lousy doodles, but when you take into account how long I spend on them.. I don't know..
I'm just putting this out there. I just have nothing to compare it to, you know? I don't know... I guess I'll figure it out. If all else fails, I'll lower every price to $1, haha
