Commissions open :3
Hi!! I'm rather short on money this month, so I was hoping maybe someone had something in mind they needed someone to draw for them :O
Below is some examples of my art, as you can see backgrounds are not my field of expertise, nor is photorealism ;)
I'm not in the US, so I'll need you to pay me through PayPal.
I'm willing to (attempt to) draw most things, though I might reject things if it would make me uncomfortable for whatever reason.
Hope we can help each other out!

If you don’t mind me asking, how much do commissions cost?
Hey! Ok so it depends a lot on the level of complexity and therefore how many hours I need to put into it. I've done a couple recently, I'll show them and break down the price.
For this first one, I got a picrew and a mood as a reference, I quickly did a sketch, which turned out to be spot-on, so I could quickly do the art. I spent about 2, 2 and a half hours on it, and I asked for 25$. The client decided to tip me and I walked away with 30$ ❤️
This one I did a while back for an anti-jkr pro-diversity project, the prompt was a bit more vague and I spent a long while going back and forth with sketches, versions and revisions. Therefore I eventually spent more time on the project than what went into the final product. With this in mind, I set the price between 60 and 90 USD, reflecting the range between time spent on the final product vs time spent on the project. The client ended up paying 80 USD and I was very grateful, but I would not have blamed them for paying 60, as the final result ended up pretty simple.
This last one I'm very happy with, I got some pretty varied references on this OC, so it took me a couple sketches to get them right. I've included three of the sketches, the first sketch being in the upper left corner, which was refined to top right to get the character right. Then I found the right pose in sketch 3, and finally the bottom right is my final version, where I tried to reflect the character, while also being a more interesting pose. I originally thought the project (since it's "just" an icon) would land at around 20-25, but in the end we agreed on 25-30$ to reflect the amount of work I ended up putting into it.
Close up of the final version, it has a watermark because I'm waiting for pay-day, and trying not to be overly trusting on a principal level, even though I absolutely do trust my client.
I think all of these projects were somewhat time consuming, either by way of taking time to come up with a concept, or because of the semirealistic style, and challenges with getting the character right.
A more simple style would generally end up being cheaper. Like sometimes I do silly little "chibi"/cartoony characters, like this.
Something like that would probably be 10-15 dollars, depending on the pose, clothes and other bells and whistles.
In general I try to take people's economy into account, and get a feel for what would work for them, and adjust my workhours and even pricing accordingly (within reason) :3
Hope this helped!
