would i be good enough to start paid commisions? (+ advice on commissions?)

[dragonsponies 101]

alright so i know that i don't really get much attention with these posts but i really beg of you to help me out here. if you don't feel like replying that's fine but please at least brohoof this post if your answer to the question above is yes.

 

i've been drawing for 2 years, 1,5 years digital, and i really want to get some money together to commision a friend of mine who is gathering up money to buy a fursuit. i really wanna help him out but then first i need some money on a paypal account. so i thought i maight be able to help him by starting up commisions as well.

congrats if you read all that and got this far ^^

or you could have skipped it iunno either way i've practiced several things like character creation...

 

full detailed (as detailed as i could at the time) pictures with background...

 

commisions for free...

 

i've made cannon ponies (though it's been a while since i've done that)

 

so i've done a lot of things to prepare on what people might ask when they commision something. my question is, does my work have enough quallity to be offered as commisions?

i really need help on this subject, i'm to emberrased to ask my friends so yeh ^^'

also does anyone have any advice about commisions? it'd be my first time actually doing paid commissions

Hi @@dragonsponies, I moved your topic as this is more of a Creative Resources question than a posting of your art to show off.

I would say that those are high quality. I would personally pay for art like that. The last one is my personal favorite. The pieces of just the characters are also very good, but not quite as interesting as the full detailed pieces.

okay it's good to know from someone that it's of high enough quallity cause nothing is more embarrassing then putting up commisions only to find out it's quallity is to low.

thanks a lot for giving your opinion!

Good enough? I think you are more than good enough  . I would certainly pay for some art if I had internet money (in other words, access to my bank, but my account is locked for 3 years c: )

[Memory Lane 131]

Absolutely. Your work is of a commendable quality and certainly worthy of being sold.

[Snake 516]

For sure! It looks worthy to me! Plus, commissions are a good way to get more practice too!

alright that's great! that's kinda crazy how did you get locked out of your account for 3 years?

thank you for telling me it's good to know from multiple people that i'm good enough to start up a shop.

thanks again for helping out!

that's true, it's great practice for character variety
