I was thinking of posting a commission thread here but was wondering if anyone would even be interested:

Those are just a few examples, but I have more on my deviantart. Most of the examples are of felines(that is what I've been requested to draw the most), but I also do humans and anthros(here's a humanoid headshot).

Off-site, my prices range from $6 to $16(not including additional characters or reference sheets). It usually takes me at least 4 hours to complete a drawing, over the course of a few days. Would anyone pay that much for my style(would offer GB/SB equivalent)? I am rather new to the site so the only equivalent I know is that GB is worth $.50, but I have no idea about SB.
If the prices are too high, what would you suggest?

1 Gold Beetle is equivalent to 1,000 Silver Beetles. So 1 Silver Beetle is worth next to nothing. XD

I would be interested in purchasing your artwork. I watched you on DeviantArt, and you have talent.
However, I do not purchase commissions since I have had terrible luck with them before. I only purchase flatsales, adoptables, and auctions.
So, let me know if you ever sell pre-made art. :)

I like your art but I find that no matter how good people's art are very few people can afford to buy stuff that cost more then 10gb.

Even if people won't pay the equal in GB, price it high anyway. Don't under value your art because some can't afford it. There are a LOT of people willing to pay higher prices for such quality as your art. ^^

12 GB is perfectly reasonable for something simple. People are paying for more than just art. Quality and your time. ^^

As for SB to GB, people generally price GB as 1000-1400 per GB (most at 1200).

Actually, there are plenty of people who would be willing to pay over 10GB for art of this quality, especially for human art c: Your art is amazing!

Lovely art! Unfortunately, the art market on here is kinda crappy, so people often underpay and suggest prices that seem ridiculously low in $ terms. If you want to get commissions more easily on this site, it's easier to sell art at 1/2 to 3/4 of the actual $<->GB conversion rate. c: Of course, plenty of people don't do that and still get commissions, just less.

Whatever the case, don't undersell yourself! Plenty of people are willing to pay 10GB+ for good quality art.

@Foxelope: the closest I've sold as premade are YCH images. At the moment I've got three that are unclaimed(you can find these on my dA). YCH drawings usually only take a day or two to complete since they only really need lining, coloring, and shading. I don't sell adoptables though because it's not a strength of mine. :x

@All: Thank you so much for the advice! I'm not sure if I'll price much lower than what I have off-site; If I did, I'd feel like I was somehow cheating my other commissioners because they'd be paying double compared to what I'd offer here. :/
I'll post a topic and see what happens; if no one buys then that's fine but if they do then that's great! Thank you again. c:

(If anyone else has more advice you're welcome to still post it)
