Jesus. Have you seen my prices? Im so under minimum wage i'm literally sucking up dust. Yet still no one takes my commissions.
I'm not perfect but i'm not terrible. My scraps have more updates and i always link to there. Maybe thats my down fall.

XD I know the feeling, when I started out I was asking $2 for a full color piece XD (this was wayyyyy back 10 years ago) and I couldn't get hardly any commissions. I treated the in between time as time to practice and improve, and before I knew it I had more commissions than I knew what to do with -___-

This is great to see. It also gives those of us who are commission-addicts guidelines to watch for. I hadn't considered whether it would be wrong to ask for the layered file. Thank you for this.

One additional thought - for foreign commissions, Paypal has a conversion charge. It is helpful to mention if the person doing commissions expects the client to cover that as well. The first commission I requested had that issue, and I think I've surprised others since then by remembering to add extra $ for conversion fee.
Still, it's an unpleasant surprise to anyone who is already balking at dropping $60 for that picture they really want.

ah yes, i always forget it, it's usually only a few cents, so I usually don't pay it any mind, but I guess it would probably matter to some people :3 if I ever revamp this guide (and I probably will) i'll be sure to mention it :3 thank you!

I saw this a while ago, and I read through it. Kinda' funny to see it again at a time where I've started considering doing commissions because this is my last year of high school.
Thanks for posting this, even if I am a bit late with saying it~
