Hi this is the first forum post I've ever made on this site in the at least two years I've been on it ahahaa
I didn't know where to put it on the board idk if this is where this topic should be
i also dont know how many times im allowed to bump without getting scolded

Anyways I've been somewhat considering doing commissions somewhere? And since I can reach a larger base on here rather than instagram I want to see if I should do this here? I'm kind of scared since I'm not confident in my art or social skills but I don't have money to do the things I want to do on this site or in general and this would give me some experience so yeah!

Here are some examples using the code someone helpfully provided, I have plenty more on my art instagram (suburbans.art) and on my deviantart:

I'd also like some advice on how to price and how to go about commissions? I know the pricing I can't get advice on until I post some examples (some coding help would be greatly appreciated) but advice on commissions would really be cool like how to organize/keep track, reaching deadlines while busy with other things like school, making sure customers get what they want, etc. I'm also not sure what exactly I should do, like icons and busts and whatnot?

Please help I'm really afraid but need to push myself and don't know where to start

Hi!

I'm not much of an artist myself, but I could definitely give you some insight on coding and the lioden economy. :)

To post images, use the below code, but be sure to remove the star.

<*img src="IMG URL">

You can also modify the code to make the picture fit a bit better; I wouldn't use a width larger than 500 if you don't want to force your customers into a side-scroll. The below code is modified to resize your picture to a 500 width.

<*img src="IMG URL" width=500>

If you want to post a link to a deviantart, or some other art gallery, you can use the below code. The italics are what you change to change what the link will say, ie:
clicking here will take you to your den!

<*a href=LINK>your text here<*/a>

Here is a link to the HTML help thread, for other ways to edit your text and forum page!

As for the economy, right now the equation is

.50 USD = 1 GB = 1350sb (sometimes 1400, it depends)

Again, I'm not much of an artist, so with trying to meet supply/demand with the demands of your life, all I can say is: limit yourself to a few pieces at a time, and be honest with your customers. If you're delayed, let them know so they don't worry endlessly about their art.

Hey there! I really love your art! It's a unique style and very pretty! I would definitely commission you!

As for prices, I am not the best since I only know art prices from Lioden and they are rather cheap for the most part.
I will give it a shot though!

Headshot: 1-3gb
Bust: 3-6gb
Fullbody: 5-8gb

And again please pardon me if I am lowballing you. I am not the best at pricing! >.<

I'm not actually sure if you're lowballing or not and I'm just getting suggestions from people interested or willing to offer help so it's all good!
