Nooooo it wasn't rude at all, I'm happy to know you'd like to do an art trade with me ^^ And thank you! It's been a rocky road but totally worth it hahahahah Have a great week ahead!
Hmmm I started on DA back in the day and I'd try to be as present as I could in adoptions and commissions groups, that's how people started noticing my art. So I'd say, here on Toyhouse, try to be as present as you can on the Forum community. That's what I do, everyday I comment on people's Looking for Commissions thread [just the ones I'd like to work with]. As for pricing, if it's your first time selling commissions or adoptions, I'd say go for cheaper prices and slowly increase as time goes by as you get more clients or followers. I started selling at $5 and as I noticed more people wanting to buy from me, I'd increase the value by $2 or $3. For me, it helped increasing by little. And because at the beginning you won't have many commissions examples and clients to back you up, I'd charge cheap so I'd get more commissions examples to build my portfolio. The more you grow up as a selling artist, the more you can increase your prices. But that's just my opinion! It's what worked for me. There's a lot of ways of getting noticed or ways for pricing, so maybe try talking to more artists and ask for advices until you see a method that works best for you ^^ Hope that was helpful! If you ever need more advices, you can dm me :D <3

Oh I'm sorry, I don't. This is my full-time job so I only take commissions. But if I ever decide to open, I'll put on my profile ^^
