Pricing Help needed: (Kinda) Realistic Art

Pricing Help needed: (Kinda) Realistic Art
Posted 2022-05-31 21:58:21 (edited) #762631 Hello folks, I'm playing with the thought of offering headshot commissions, but I've never sold my art for real money. I usually take around 5-8 hrs for one piece, depending in the complexity. Also, the comissioner gets pretty much all the rights, I won't add a signature & they can do whatever they want with the picture. I was thinking about maybe 20$, but I'm not sure if that's too high... Also, does anyone know how that works with paypal? Do people just send you the money on their own or do I have to make a request via an invoice/bill? I've never done this before Below are a few examples of the quality I'm offfering, usually I make the background transparent, but I can also do simple abstract backgrounds.	very drunken cowboy #200

For this quality I'd say $20 is actually too low, I easily see commissions of similar tiered artwork going for 50-100 depending on the complexity(and even above that)
Beautiful work! The details are so crisp and pleasing to look at ^^
