Hey Guys And Gals!! :wave:  I'm Contemplating Opening Commissions, But Badly Need Your Input!!! :please:

So I guess people hit hard spots in life and need to bring in some extra $$$ in the form of commisions.... and I've had the luck of hitting that hard spot in my life and am gettting ready to open commissions, but need your thoughts!!

I regularly work a M-F, 7AM-5PM day job as the lead CAD Designer at my day job... and have been practicing my coloring skills on some awesome lines the past couple of years (Pretty much everything you see in my gallery).  In essence, I've been coloring stuff I love on the ample free time I have (which is not a rant, I HAVE SO MUCH FUN DOING THESE COLORWORKS!)

With that in mind, if I open commissions how would one charge and how would one gauge coloring someone's hand drawn stick figure compared to coloring something by say the great :iconstevensanchez:?  

Also, does it go against any rules if someone commissions me to color someone elses lines?

I've broken my coloring types to the following:

***Fully Painted (Given Lines Not Shown)***
Spider-Man by Smitty-Tut Venom by Smitty-Tut Neytiri by Smitty-Tut Mizz American - Colored by Smitty-Tut Chun Li by Smitty-Tut 'Lost Kids' Evelet by Smitty-Tut ?Flicker? by Smitty-Tut Pyroman Colors by Smitty-Tut Flow The Waitress Colors by Smitty-Tut The Boss- Concept 1 Colors by Smitty-Tut RRRFM- Colors by Smitty-Tut Mr. Punctuality Up In Yo Face by Smitty-Tut Mr. P In Space Alt.

Captain America Bust by Smitty-Tut Hulk Bust by Smitty-Tut Hellboy by Smitty-Tut Wolverine vs Deadpool by Smitty-Tut Nightcrawler by Smitty-Tut Venom by Smitty-Tut Lady Of Doom Concept by Smitty-Tut Lady Of Doom Concepts by Smitty-Tut

***Painted Inks (Colors Under Given Inks)***

***I'm Also Thinking About Opening Commissions and/or Selling My Handmade Swords/Weapons If Anyone Is Interested***

AND TO EVERYONE I HAVE ALREADY TALKED TO ABOUT COLORWORKS: don't fret- I'm still doing all of yours free of charge!! ;)

Thank You Anyone and Everyone For Your Help!!! :w00t:

Good idea! As for the prices, I'd suggest to charge the time you think you'll spend on it (~10$ per hour?) and the final file you'll provide to the client (hq jpeg or psd?). DeviantART has got a lot of great artists charging so low that it's kind of hard to find clients. So we have to choose between fair price with less clients or being cheap with more clients... :)
