Need some advice.
Someone on dA wants me to do a request. I never did, my account is still pretty small (I only have ten watchers).
Should he pay me for my work or not? Should I do it for free, since I was never asked for a request and for not being a big name?
If you don't currently have a steady stream of commissions and don't mind doing the request, you should do it to help bring more people your way. Requests are a popular way for small artists to gain watchers.
If you don't care about eatchers or don't want to spend time on someone else, either charge or don't do it.
