Hello hello! ; 0 ;
Hope it's okay to ask here, I'm thinking about opening a small art shop in the near future and wanted to ask for advice to go about with pricing.
I don't know if there's an equivalent of Voltra's currency vs real currency, so I'm a little stuck with what would be considered over pricing or under pricing. //Although most people would say probably my RL commissions for "cheap", I like to keep things affordable! ;w;

These are examples of my art, I'll include some factors below that go into what offer if said commission were to be offered and the effort that goes with it.


I usually spend on average around 6-14 hours (3-7 days) per piece, depending on the size and overall detail. Commission size is roughly around 3000x3000 and textures and details are hand drawn, so it adds to the time thing. ;w; I don't do commercial work. I keep the commissioner updated as much as they ask for and give the commissioners google forms to fill out! Thank you for any advice given!! /).(

My part of an art trade with a friend on FB! <3 Character belongs to her! ^.^

She's one of my favorite NPCs in New Leaf, and I honestly really hope she makes an appearance in any upcoming Animal Crossing games, whether it be her secretary position again or even retiring to be a villager! ❤

This piece is actually a "redraw" of and older piece I did last year, as a part of a flower crown icon set! The set included mayor and/or villager art of them as chibi headshots, surrounded by flowers I felt best described them. I had given Sunflowers to Isabelle because of the meaning behind them, referring to "friendship". It was also a pleasant surprise to later remember that sunflowers are also the flowers that sit in the mayors office, specifically at Isabelle's desk. If your interested in seeing the original, its still up in my gallery! Its quite far back though so if anyone wants me to tag them in a comment, totally let me know! ❤

I don't draw the characters by themselves all that often but perhaps I'll do so if you guys are interested! I could turn each one into a raffle and select a random commenter from instagram or facebook to customize the piece for them to use as an icon

@lady luna: oh gosh thank yous!! <33

Oof I haven't updated this in about a week- Here are some requests I finished in return for an adoptable on instagram!

@miss kitty: awwe thank yous!! I'm still working on my site, and am redoing my commission info sheet!

New AC commission finished!! If you recognize the mayor, and guessed Kenzie from the princess mayor with Ruby illustration, your right! Kenzie had asked me to draw a Valentine's day themed illustration for her and her boyfriend. Since she asked on the day of Valentine's day, she said she was okay with me taking as long as I needed to finish.

Really big project I forgot to upload!! Me and a friend did a trade, and she asked me to draw her and her friend together. This piece is really personal to them and I was happy to work with them!

@e m: SAME! I love getting to garden and the amount of freedom you have decorating and creating your town just to how you like it too! It's so fun! T w T
Me too! I hope they keep some of the new leaf features, or have even more pocket space. //I'm honestly really excited to see how beautiful the graphics would be too. Seeing the AC courses in NintendoLand and Mario Kart, what they could do looks absolutely stunning!!

I've never played PC but I keep very up to date about it on twitter :'D

@shamrock shamus: LOL x,D Poor villagers :')
That's so cool though! I play occasionally with my boyfriend, as a few months after I got my game, he ended up selling his copy so now that he's bought another one, I want to play with him as much as I can! T o T
What a cool name for a town as well! <3

@seo: Thank yous!! <3 I'll be sure to let you know about any I post in the future <3
Ahhh I see, I personally think your art looks very pretty! Possibly doing experimental art when you can so you can hopefully find something to get you out of the feeling. <3
