I'm curious if there is a market at all for custom avatars?

I just made one for myself and it occurred to me that maybe that'd be of interest to others?

I'm a newbie and wondering about ways to make SB and since I'm artsy..

YES I would say that there definitely is! When I uploaded this icon, within just a couple of hours I got someone asking me if I made customs. After that, got about 3 more people asking! I didn't even make a topic, either, so if you made a topic advertising that you will make custom icons, you'll probably get more people asking.

PS: don't let people lowball you! 1000 SB might sound like a lot when you're new, but you should really get a lot more than that.

I agree with what Thalath said.

Don't let people underprice your art. From what I've seen in your icon, your art is decent. I'd pay 3 GB per an icon.

Oh yes, there is DEFINITELY a market for custom icons. ;)
I commissioned the super-talented, super-kind Thalath up there, and I've also commissioned a few other people purely for icons.

For something like what you did for yourself, I would suggest around 3-4 GB at minimum, and definitely more if users are willing! :)

WOW thanks everyone! that helps a TON as my second question was going to be what on earth is art pricing around here lol
I can do more complex digital work, my current icon started out as me making a business logo for myself lol then I just got all detail and.. well you see what happened XD

So, for my work seen in this folder above, what would you price my skill level at/worth? (I will not be offended no matter what you say lol). What other arts are wanted around here/what sells best would you say? :)

Your art is really nice and you can sell it here for sure, but please do not forget to credit the pictures you copy for your art.

@Black Parade sure thing! :) I just need a reference photo is all.. uuhh as for price.. what would you say is fair pricing? I mean I know my USD pricing but I get the feeling usd pricing is a LOT in GB or SB lol

@Cytosine I don't copy any photos..? I mean in pet portaits you work from a reference but no copying :)
