Opinions on commissions?

Hey, guys, I was thinking of doing commissions, I was wonder what you think would be a fair price for my art. (Once I get enough money I will buy a drawing tablet and do freehand art) I’m only 14 so my parents would run a Venmo/PayPal account but they have to decide if they’re gonna let me do it before anything. :blush: :yellow_heart:
Here are some examples of my work:

I love your art!
I think prices really depend on how long it takes you to make art… so if you don’t mind me asking, about how long does it take you to do an edit?

depends on what they want, two people about 2 hours and 1 is about 45min-1 hour

hmm… I would say for a 1 person edit around $5 USD maybe and 2 people would be $8 USD ??

just a suggestion :grin:

I mean I’ve seen people asking for $30 sooo hahaha

idk it’s really up to you. Maybe I am thinking a little high (I really don’t know since I don’t pay many people for art and I don’t sell mine) but if no one is paying that much, maybe lower it a bit

good luck though with your commissions!

Unfortunately you can’t do commissions with episode assets (characters, backgrounds, etc) since you could get into a lot of trouble :sparkles:

Yeah, a lot of people have said they’d seen others doing it but it’s written that you aren’t allowed to.

Oh wow. Well, it does make sense since people are kind of making money off of the character details and art that episode employees actually draw and create
