My prices are very reasonable. Depending on the size of art piece, what elements are used, and how detailed the picture is will determine it. On average, Iβll go between 40$-60$, again depending on what you want. I really should put this in my bio haha
Humans... I can draw them. Depending on what genre is the thing though.. are you looking for realism art? or like a cartoon..?

I can see what I can do When are you looking for these to be done by? And I browsed some pictures of your other characters... did you want the style to be like those? Or absolutely realism?

oh it'll probably be awhile what with the holidays approaching, the soonest would be after new years, i just wanted to have a good artist lined up for when i could have them done ^^. and im not very familiar with artistic terms, but something kind of like this level-
Β
but only with 3 poses, back front and side, with a close up on the face off to the side.Β
Β oh and to clarify, i was looking at the sheet to make sure the description was adequete, and i wanted to clarify that the sides of her head are shaved and the top is the mohawk~and it goes into a single thick braid, not ponytail XP
