I want to continue practicing my illustration skills and make a little cash.

I'll be accepting real cash cause it's way more valuable to me right now than Mabi gold.
My prices seem high, but I'm basing them off of Ohio minimum wage and the average time it takes for me to make each.

Edit: I'm guessing my prices were probably wack so I'm changing them.

Character(s)/Image Subject
Portrait - $7
Bust - $15
Knees-up - $20
Full-body - $30

Additional Characters add half of one to the total cost (ex: two characters in the portrait style is $10.50, two bust characters is $22.50, etc.)

Additional Background
+$2 - Flat colors
+$10 - Simple Scene

Examples
Simple Bg Bust Original Character - $25

Flat Bg Portrait Arjuna Fate - $9

Full Body Flat Bg Original Character - $32

I'll be accepting 3 requests at a time. Please include references, color palettes, and any other information that you deem necessary. I'd prefer not to draw anything gruesome and gory. Be specific as you can. I require payment once I send a preliminary sketch. Afterwards, I will keep you updated and send my progress regularly. It can take me up to a week to complete one picture.

I'm also interested in how other people come up with prices for their art. Anyone with good ideas can leave a reply.
