Hello darlings~

For a long time now I've wanted to try and do commissions, but either I freak out at my 'lack of skill', or I freak out because...well...I have no faith in myself XD

I use MS paint to do my art. I say this because about half of the people I talk to put down the program as unprofessional; or they just generally wouldn't use it for something like commissions. I suppose I could download one of those free programs like Gimp or something, but honestly, MS paint is what I'm most comfortable with using.

Anyway, I suppose I should shush and show you my art:

fY8Zn7g.pngujO3i4r.png54GJRAf.pngOMwWF5F.png

All four of these pieces have been drawn in the last 4 months, so they're pretty good shows of my current capabilities.

The first two images are done in what I like to call my "Half Dreamworks style". How to Train your Dragon has been one of my more recent obsessions, and as such, I've wanted to draw Fan-Art that would still look more like the characters. So, I managed to churn out this style, and I think it works pretty well for me! ^^

The Third Image is Showing my general 'Anime' style. My Anime style has heavy bases in Naruto and Attack on Titan/Shingeki no Kyojin, as those were the shows I watched the most during the brunt of my Anime days.

The Last one is Danny Phantom. ^^; I've tried to draw him as close to his style as possible. This picture just serves to show my ability to mimic Cartoon styles. (I think I nailed it pretty well -.^)


So the Biggest question, and main reason for this post is this:
Would you pay me to do a headshot commission of a character?

---Be Honest with me. Be Blunt.
---I can't take hints, and I hate beating around the bush.
---If you can't say a Solid yes or No, tell me why. If your concern is something I can fix; I'll think about it and see what I can do.


The Second question, IF YOU ANSWER YES, would be this:
How much would you pay me?

---Again, please be blunt and honest with me.
---Would it be through paypal, or with LD currency? (Either one works for me.)


As I said before, this is something I've wanted to try for a long time now. I finally feel confident enough, at least in my headshot ability, to give it a go. I won't know if I can unless I try, ya'know?

Any and all feedback would be great!!
<3 <3 <3

I for one love the dreamworks style, and gosh for using MS paint I applaude you. ^^ I'm quite bad at pricing, but somewhere 3-5GB for a headshot shaded would be my pricing.

I wish you luck with the art, and who knows, an art shop! <3

Ok, so let me break that down for a second.
((I am in no way trying to be rude or anything, just...Calculative.))

1GB is $.50, correct?
So than the range you've given is $1.50-$2.50.
Personally, I find that a bit low.
It's not that It's because my art is difficult for me, so much as I spend easily 2-3 hours on each on average.

Now, when you say "Shaded", which shading are you referring to?
The Shading in the second image is harder and more time consuming for me than the shading in the other three.
In Image 2, the Shading is like....there are a total of 5 colors in his skin, done in a sort of gradient since I don't have a blending tool.
But the Shading in the other three is just straight up one color to another.

"Shaded" is just kind of vague when I've presented two shading styles. :P

Oh, darlin' I know you're trying to help!
I'm just trying to get a better feel for what you're saying! ^^;
I wasn't tryin' to put you down or nothin'. >.<

Again, I showed two different Shading styles; I just want to know which one you meant. ^^;

Ah, Alright! ^^

I do Like Danny's style, too.
Maybe because It surprisingly easy to draw. It's nice to take a break from the more detail oriented Dreamworks thing I do. ^^

Hello! I currently do not have a character nor am I looking for a headshot but I would like to attempt to help on pricing! I would recommend 8GB to start with and bump it if you are able to rally a lot of interest.
I would also like to commend you on the ridiculous shading on your anime piece! I think I'm in love O.o. I've been attempting shading on my drawing tablet for awhile now and I just haven't been able to get it down yet.
Anyway, best of luck to you!

Oh! Awesome! As you mentioned about taking hours to do them,and considering their qualities,i would say something between 7-12 GB. I would pay with Lioden currency,if i had any. ewe
