Totally =_=
Thats right, I'd make sure I wouldn't get into any awkward situations since I'm so afraid of that happening!
Hahahaha! If I do join, I'll let u know!
Thankyou!! *hugs*
oh my that's the other things with commissons, being asked to draw something weird. OTL
but then agin if you do have commissions you have to make some rules to them. XD
it's alright if you don't want to join DA yet, it took me years to join that site. XD and I hardly use it. OTL
Just take your time on the prices and don't stress yourself to much!
I know how you'd feel... Once I took commissions for shirt designs and I'm glad I never really went public with it since some of the requests I had to turn down and I feel like my friends were a tad bit disappointed since I couldn't do what they asked (and it was weird stuff anyway!)
Yeah true, I've always been a bit worried about joining DA since its so huge! But I was thinking it would be good if I had to link someone to more of a commission site. I'm still holding back tho, I'll just wait and see what happens x)
LOL yeah! and soooo true, I'm too tired to even think tho xD haha So much is happening!
I have been told that before, but I don't think I want to since it would a lot of responsiblity and feel kind of pressured. But maybe someday. XD
It would be nice to expand over to DA too so you can get some more reconnition, but since it's a big community it's a little harder to get noticed, but it's always good to try. : )
AH that was a good idea to ask your mother since she was a graphic artist! XD And that would be a lot of money too! XD you will have to do a lot of thinking on what you want to do! XD
^_^ I bet u could get commissioned for specific ideas... or sell ur work if u wanted to! Ur style is so awesome!
Thats a great idea too! I was thinking of joining DA sometime as well so I can get in the loop of things with commissions over there and such. I also asked my mom and she gave me some prices... I would never have thought I could charge so much! I've actually finished almost all the drawings... two linearts took me about an hour in total, so I spent like 6-7 hours on everything. And my mom said I could charge from like $30 an hour and upwards! So its exciting! I'm really bad at setting prices tho xP
I would feel a little pressured too, but it would be super nice! XD
I had forgotten to tell you to also take a look at some prices on DA, there are pleanty of artist on there who do commissions to, and you can look to see how they charge?
and yes asking Starscream would also be very helpful! XD
LOL *big smile and laugh* Seriously, ur comment made my day, Elric-chan!! haha Im so glad to be supported by u always <3 It means the world! Thanku!!!
Great!!! I will definitely contact Starscream in my free time... Some others mentioned her as well, and I remember seeing her commissions around theO... Thanks so much!!! :D
Thankyou Toya!!! Gah it was a bit nervewracking tho, even tho its exciting! I feel like I'm pressured and falling behind but I've been so over-loaded with work as well xD Still I'm so happy about this too and I feel like dancing with u *dances around xD*
Thankyou!!
Ya good idea! I think a lot of people mentioned Starscream, she takes commissions a lot. I'm just afraid to set a price, cuz I've never done this xD I'd actually do it for free so I really have no idea but I'll look into it :)
Thankyou!!! ^_____^ You just made me even happier with ur sweet comment!! You are always so uplifting, so now I feel like I'm on cloud 9 (before, I just felt like a balloon XD)
Kyaaaa *highfives* thats awesome! I need to get back to colouring myself xD I shall do my best with the lineart! Thanks again, Live!
That's so cool! Well, congratulations. weeee~
You deserve that ^v^ I mean, you make some awesome arts. It needs to be paid. hahaha. Some are so realistic that you would thought a professional artist made it. *v*
goodluck Jen. I hope you'll think of some awesome designs ^v^
~tafu-chan ♥
Ahaha! Finally someone's paying you for your art, eh? With the awesomeness you put out on a regular basis, I can't help wondering what took so long. Especially when taking the awesomeness of your Legolas paintings into account. *shot*
Hmm.... pricing. *thinks* Ask Starscream! She made a post on one of her worlds about getting commissions and publishing and stuff like that, so she should be able to help!

Congrats Jen! that sounds super exciting!!! XD I'm super happy for you!
I'm sure everyone will really like the coloring pages! XD
as for prices I'm not really sure what you could charge. You can try asking someone who has some experience with commissions? but I wouldn't know any.....
Awwww yes! I'm so unbelievably happy for you!!!!! I told you before you would get commissioned someday! :D Its very exciting and I'm sure your client will be very pleased with what you create! *is in college and still colors in kids coloring books and such XD therefore appreciates this greatly!!!**shot* Congrats on this Jen!
That's great!! :D
I am so happy for you.^^ I knew about this from earlier, but it is still nice to hear that everything is going well with that little commission. :)
If you are unsure about prices you can always set them based on the amount of time, resources (materials that you use) and the quality of what you are doing, oh and also depending on what you do and how hard it is to do.
Prices depend on the region, people as well as what you, so I can't help you much more with this, but I can always recommend to start low and then to raise your price when you become more known.
Also putting advertisements on newspapers, internet, DA and such is a good way to go.
Congratulations on your first commission. I'm so happy for you I knew you'd get one. It was only a matter of time. You deserve all thr support. You're an epic artist.
Love ya Jess. You draw the best doggies too~they're so cute. But seriously, love you Jess. You will always be my major source of inspiration~
