It all depends on you, buddy. D: I have no doubt that people with money will buy your stuff. <3

I'd say that you are ready artistically, but you need to be able to advertise properly in order for it to work alright.

I think your art is beautiful, and I'd like to commission something, if you do decide you can handle it.

Well, nobody can say if you're ready or not to take on commissions. I don't think I would be... but the question isn't about the quality of the finished products - people need to know what they're paying for, beforehand, and realize that they're asking an artist for the artist's view of a subject.

Basically, people won't commission you if they don't like how your finished work looks. And, clearly, some people do. That's not the question. The question is, do you have the persistence to finish a picture even if you don't particularly like the subject matter, and can you take critique if the commissioner wants something changed?

Personally, I think you could do it. And I think you'd make a nice little wad of money, if you did.

Commission work can be kinda tricky, I guess. Some people here obviously love your work and would pay money for it, but when you take a commission, you'll have to meet certain demands and requests of your client that you might not like... of course you can always set your limitations as to what you'll commission, but you'll have to be careful. You'll have to find a good way to advertise to a pretty good sized audience while being versatile enough to fulfill any requests they could send you. I think you could really rock if you really wanted to do this I'm excited for you!!

Vectoring lineart is fun ^^ It's pretty much how I do it, since I'm not good enough with a tablet yet to do my own inking by hand.

I made a crash-course on Vectoring once.. .mmm... Maybe I could make another.


I think you'd be fine for commissioning ^^ (I don't know if I'm "ready" myself though... )

Assuming you do take commissions, you should probably work out a plan on how payment should work.

Mondai has said it best. It's not about whether you think your work is good enough or not. If the person commissions you at all, it's because they like the style that you draw in and have a subject that they would particularly like to see drawn in your style. More than anything it's about whether or not you will finish what you're asked to draw in a timely fashion. Probably the best way to approach it would be to first take a request from a friend. Set a time frame for it to be completed in and tell your friend that they have to honestly badger you about getting it done within that time frame. They can then give an honest critique of the finished work and you'll have some idea of how you'll preform under that kind of pressure.
