I play it as often as I possibly can! ;0; I also do a lot of fanart for it x'D It's such a relaxing game to play and has really been an influence in my art :'D
I don't play too often with others though, I'd like to but I always get nervous of people running on/stealing my flowers x'D

I'm super excited for it! Although I don't have a smartphone to play it on, I am excited to eventually be able to play it, and/or watch others youtube videos on it.
The game itself looks really good for a app. And I really love the camping theme with the rvs and such cause of the Welcome Amiibo update! * - *

//These are just how I personally do things aaa

1. How do you know how much to charge for your art?: I think I charge on what feels right at the moment and how much I think my audience can afford. :O
I currently charge for my art:

|| Waist Ups || Simple Shading: $10 - Detailed Shading: $14 | Extra Character: +$8 (For both shading styles) | No BG = Free - Simple BG: +$2 - Detailed BG: +$7

2. I imagine for online commissions you'd use Paypal or something?
Yep! Personally I think paypal is best for taking online commissions, but I have let close friends send money via snail mail as they didn't have a paypal. Sometimes artists also accept amazon wishlist items and gift cards as payment! I haven't tried those methods yet but they sound super cool! C:

3. Does the customer pay you up front, after the art is received, or a half now half after sort of deal?
I personally take all up front. From an experience in the past of finishing a commission and giving it to them without getting payment first, then waiting for two months without a word from them (ended up getting the money thanks to my friend) but after that I started doing only payment first types of things :'> I'm not that good with confrontation so I'd prefer to ask for all the money up front, then getting only half and then having to build up the courage to ask for the other half when it's time. X'D

4. How long is too long for the customer to wait for the product?
I think about 2+ months. If they are on a waitlist and you don't have their money yet, that's totally fine, but if you are taking this long to finish the commission, whether it's personal issues or something, it's best to give them updates as much as possible. It's best to have a said date as to how long your commission will take to finish too.

7. Where do you get most of your business? deviantART? Tumblr? Twitter? Instagram? All of the above and more?
Personally, Facebook is where I sell most of my commissions! I post my art a lot in a certain fandom, so I have an audience built around that. Although I started out accepting currency from the game as commission payment, not too many people were upset when I switched to real money commissions and still got quite a lot of sales! More older people in the fandom are likely on FB so they are able to pay for the prices, though when I opened my commissions on Instagram I got a lot more comments saying they wish they were in the game currency/free/etc and sales went pretty down so I much prefer doing my commissions on FB.

eee thank you guys! > w <)/)
