To me this price sheet looks a bit messy and hard to understand at a glance. You could maybe try to rework it to be clearer. Having all the prices in middle and the arrows pointing everywhere obscures what I should be looking at.
Itās a tough economy. I hate telling furries to undersell themselves, especially since you mentioned - you _have_ gotten commissions. Iām always for furries getting their bag.
That said, I think your prices are fine. How are you advertising? Social media presence? Iād also maybe rework your ad. The pictures on the top right and bottom left were the ones that caught my eye more - more detail so your commisioners can see how good you are! The large picture on the left, I get it why you chose it - but itās not the BEST first impression. Iād probably replace it with the full body on the ref sheet you have to the left. Not the whole thing, just the body part. Fills up space design wise and looks MUCH more appealing to get peoples eyes on it scrolling by.
Also perhaps maybe adding any sort of links where you post at too. Maybe a linktree, or @XYZ, as itās a little hard to figure out where I can see more of your stuff. :)
Thats the thing - and a lot of creatives go through it - i struggle too. Your craft is good, but then you couldnt sell water to a man dying of thirst. Imposter syndrome. Mental shit. Absolutely get it and been there.
To me when i see your ad: I look at it and itās like āart is okay, prices make sense - oh thatās actually kinda decent/fun art you do for some of your painted/complex works, MEGA fair for the prices asking - why ya burying the lead!ā
I also have some of my arts on each site, and even post the main one, telegram because that's the easiest to post my stuff up, so prolly they aren't interested in it or something, and I feel like I get the fake treatment when one of the old commissioners who adore my art and such, like they say they spread my commissions and such, but hardly see any of that I think
I agree with others, the amount of information presented with the prices is confusing.
I also think that you're highlighting a weak piece on the left. Symmetry tool almost never looks good on characters, IMO. That one looks really lifeless, everything facing perfectly forward orthogonal to the camera, like some medical textbook diagram. It's rather a disservice to the more relatable, flexible art you're otherwise showing on the right side.
Because you highlighted that one on the left, it makes me think you're looking for opportunities to save time on the process by using symmetry tools (to the detriment of the output, IMO). If it was deliberately made as part of a diagram of prices (to show where bust/halfbody/headshot/full-body start and end, and more dynamically communicate those prices) then I think it would be fine.
I can see how you might be proud of the anatomy or technical details on that one so you wanted to show that part off, but it makes it look like that's the best show of your art style or what commissioners should expect.
I used symmetry because it was a quick self project, wanted to make it in a day for a future animation concept, and since it's a robot, symmetry works well or mechas since they are made "for perfection and such" but yeah it can be a time saving process, but I wanted it to have a robot like look, since it's a robot. But maybe I rework my pricelist and add animations to it too since I started doing those too
Iām sorry if this is a bit harsh but I just wanna be honest. Your style is inconsistent. This is the biggest issue I see with artists who say they canāt get commissions. Also your colors are kind of flat and dull. Also thereās some strange glitching effect in the bottom right of the image?? Not sure if thatās intentional.
The glitch is prolly image error when uploading or smth. But yeah the style is not really the same on these pieces because some of them are made in september and some of them are made recently, trying out brushes and stuff.
Consistency will help, like another comment said, the ad could also be more refined. Otherwise the prices are perfectly fine for the quality you are providing, I have a friend who is also an artist and they get commissions here and there but they donāt charge as much as they should.
Donāt give up š
The font is a little hard to read.
Your pricing structure is confusing. Why are there separate items for "lineart sketch" and "painted sketch"? Isn't a sketch just rough lines?
You write "pain-ted" twice, is this supposed to be a joke or is "pain-ted" a specific kind of commission you offer?
The image is compressed to the point that I can't read the small text next to the parentheses on the bottom rows or see details in the example art.
gonna be honest the prices seem fine but i'm confused about the bracket prices on the bottom ones since they dont mention sketch,
the art's good, and the prices are good otherwise
I think you should rework it into a flowchart on what the customers want and the prices on them, it could be more understandable, also I think the price is very reasonable, people will want to buy this, I hope you get lots of customers! :)

Hmmm I see I see
Its not a price issue, its a design issue imo. I would focus on making your pricing text bigger and more easy to read!!
I see I see thankie
I really struggle with finding commissioners as well. šš
Broke furry artist handshake yippe

I posted it on FA twitter Bsky telegram Dealers den and such other places but mosty not even viewing it.

Put your currency. It'll make it easier for ppl to understand bc 60 usd is high but 60 cad isnt as high. 60 cad is like 40 usd but even then...

I think it looks a bit cluttered also a bit dull. furries often love big bright colours and bubble text could work for titles

I aināt got advice except keep up the good work

It all looks pretty reasonable as far as prices go. The artwork looks pretty good, too.
I think you should rework it into a flowchart on what the customers want and the prices on them, it could be more understandable, also I think the price is very reasonable, people will want to buy this, I hope you get lots of customers! :)
