Okay! I'd honestly only pay 200SB for a headshot, 100SB for a pixel, maybe 200SB-300SB for backgrounds, 400SB-500SB for bodyshots. I wouldn't pay for the customs because:
1. DON'T USE BASES >:O
2. Base used >:C
3. BAAASE
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I hope I didn't sound rude or anything but.. ye

You didn't sound rude. Also, the bases were used because of a broken pen, and one of them was my actual art. :)

I think Final has a good range of prices, but I would like to point out. Final, you honestly did sound rather rude with the way you put that honestly.

If you want to point out about bases then simply make it clear and easy like;

"Personally I wouldn't pay much beyond what is listed as you used bases, but original lines would likely help put a little extra value."

Rather than;
"1. DON'T USE BASES >:O
2. Base used >:C
3. BAAASE
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I hope I didn't sound rude or anything but.. ye"

Which by that it honestly looks a lot more like you're just smearing the fact all over Gray's face. How would you feel if someone came in and did the exact same thing or something similar when talking about ways to price your art them immediately said "Hope that doesn't sound rude though." despite it actually being easy to be considered rude after all.

It was supposed to be funny, I don't always want to sound super-serious ^.^

Alright, though regardless, without that indication it was just humor it can be easy for people to take as actually being rude.

Final, it kind of seems your trying to cover up.

I think you should take into account the amount of time you're spending on your pieces. ^^ Remember, each SB is worth, what? A tenth of a penny? About half of that?
1 GB = 50 p
1 GB = 1200 SB
50 P = 1200 SB
1 p = 24 SB

So think about the fact that, when doing art, you're doing a service for another person. A very personal service- A job that only you can do in your specific way. Yes, that's right, a job. Remember that art is work, and you shouldn't take anything less then you would take from an employer. But obviously LD's art market is shit, so you'll probably have to. I think using a potential shop as a way of forcing yourself to practice drawing is one way to make it seem a bit more worth it, because I don't want to discourage you having a reason to draw. But really, keep in mind the comparison between your prices and your areas min wage, and realize that if you price as low as you're expected to that you're doing art for yourself and for people- not customers- as a favor, not for the SB. Also don't take any bullshit from customers when you're doing them favors and giving away your time and effort for mere pennies.

But beyond that, best of luck! Sorry for getting a bit serious there, I'm really passionate about/tired of the misconceptions about art.

No problem, I'm glad to hear it<3
EDIT- Also, I'd lean towards the pixel style, it's positively lovely~
