Hi, /ic/, hope I'm posting on the correct board.
I have some money to burn, so I've decided to comission art for the first time. Trouble is, I have no idea whom to comission it from, so I decided to write here, on 4chan.
Any of you guys are doing comissions? If so, please post some of your work, or your deviantart page, or whatever.
I've got a pretty simple character art in mind, no furshit or porn.
Pic unrelated.

just a tip, even if your request is "simple" in your mind , remember that the artist has no way of seeing in your brain, so be as clear and detailled as possible when you make a request ,you'll save yourself and the artist a lot of time

Right, I probably should clarify what I actually want. Don't know if gyazo is filtered, I'll post again if it is.
The character I want to comission is a black woman in her late twenties. I've just found a reference picture that pretty much has the skull/face shape that I want (https://i.gyazo.com/5cfa04c6fcce4364af18d84eb19888c6.png). Also, I should probably clarify that I want an actually dark skin tone, not Beyonce black. The hairstyle is either like on the picture, or a short military-style buzzcut, I don't really care which.
Clothes are that of 1920's working class, I've got a pretty good reference picture for that too (https://i.gyazo.com/6d2244f5d8a2d4b9dfe065dcc3ed85c5.png). Except for the hat. I don't want the hat.
As for the pose, she should be sitting on the edge of the table, smoking and trying to relax. Fingers of her other hand are clinching a police badge (perhaps, something like this - https://i.gyazo.com/22647945a1689c5a70efe731cfcf22c8.png). Facial expression is tired and grim - she just had another bad day, she's fresh from a fight and she's probably wounded.
The table that she's sitting on can have a few newspapers hanging from it, a cheap desk lamp (reference picture yet again! - https://i.gyazo.com/60986289b35c07c90418573915e41375.png), definitely a bottle of whiskey, an old-timey revolver, something like that.
Feels pretty exciting, to be honest.

whats your price
>>2840376
I'm not sure. I'm still confused about how much it usually costs, and those last comments do not help at all.
What's YOUR price?
>>2840378
it's a drawing. You decide is it worth it or not. It's not bread to just put in the ingredients only.
If an anon here links you his stuff, and gives you a price. Check it. Consider yourself do you like his characters, faces, style and etc. And if you're okay to pay the amount he asks for his work, shoot.
>>2840378
I'd charge about 100$ for that.

This sounds like a book cover illustration, what are you planning to use it for? Keep in mind having a whole scene with her sitting at a table and background, even if a simple one would up the amount of work and the price, and your intentions with the picture could affect that as well.

Got an e-mail? A colored rendered piece like op a base price for that would be 80$ as a base plus 40$ for color. 120$ in all. I also often do character art for tabletops and give 25% discounts to folk that order 4 or so character pieces at once.
>>2840386
That sounds reasonable. Can you share a contact or your deviant?
>>2840390
Yes, you can write me on [email protected] if you want.
>>2840389
It's nothing special, I assure you.
>>2840294
none of the links work for me
>>2840405
Have you tried removing the brackets
>>2840424
Feel free to message me right away. I like to know all of my options, even the more expensive ones.
>>2840425
Done.
What's your budget? I would enjoy drawing some cute warhammer swinging dwarfgril but I can't go below 500$.
