I'd like to know your opinions and experiences.
It would be things like this
User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.

I can make what are called Vexels but they're hard to do and harder to explain. xp
Vexel
Vexel done for Kat

I have no idea what to charge or even if people would want them, the few times i've asked i've been ignored. confused

Your drawing looks very beautiful. If you would ever be interested in drawing me, feel free to PM me, we can discuss a commission?

Pretty art, you're very talented ^^

I think you could start in a joint auction if you're not sure of how much to charge for your works.
And if you were to open a shop with work like that, I think you should charge high. Like at least 20k (and I think that's low) for art like the one in your links ^^

How long does it take for you to make a drawing?
What kind of art is easyer/ harder for you to draw?
Will you have the time to take on all the comissions?

I thought about all that before opening mineand decided to open now that I'm on vacation and can take more comissions. 3nodding

Well, hope that helps you decide ^^

Thanks guys. smile
(sorry i didn't reply sooner, but i did read them)

that does help Lady,
yeah i think an auction may suit me better.
i don't always have time to do commisions.

the pictures @2-3 days but it doesn't take very long.
vexels on the other hand take a while depending on the style and subject.
the first link was @ 2 weeks
the second one was simpler like 2-3 days?
it's easier to do the drawings. xp

Wow, I'd pay good money for either of them. I'd suggest a joint shop (I know how weird that sounds but still) if you are new to everything.

But you've got the talent it takes! PM me to discuss a commish? biggrin

breaking out into the market is hard but once you do someimes it goes ok... there are other times where you need to look for work and other where youd wish it would go away... fo art like yours and with that talent I am sure people would love to have those artworks... seriously! I would!
