Okay, so i've been wanting to start taking commissions for a while now, but I've never really gotten around to making a post about it.

I'd like to first start off by saying that I have done commissions for actual money, and my going fee for that is $30 per hour spent on the project. I'm curious as to whether or not my amount of skill warrants a similar pricing set up to this? Like, my current thought is like 3-5 GB per hour I spend on the artwork.

Here are some examples from my new DA account and my old one. It's Hetalia stuff, so if that makes you upset, angry, or uncomfortable, please, just don't look at it. None of it is, like, triggering. They're just portraits.

As you can see, I'm mostly a portrait artist, but I am capable of doing full-body stuff. My style is semi-realistic, and I'm trying to get to an even higher level of realism skill. Each portrait takes like 2 1/2 - 3 hours. So at minimum, a portrait would cost like 6 GB and 500 SB. At most it would cost like, 15 GB.
