Ok, as stated in the title, i am unsure where to put this,
i am wanting do do some commision work, but i am unsure about how to start this up, and
how much to charge for what (size/number/ect)

so what i am asking is for is those of you dakkites that do commission work yourselves, to help me out with advice on the
things i need to set this up.

(also if i have posted this in the wrong place could somebody please move this thread to the appropriate sub-forum.)

It would probably help if you said what kind of commission work you were looking for... Painting? Modeling? Drawing?

And if modelling, what kind of modelling?

You should also post some work of yours in the galleries and link them so people can see some references of your work.

ok, thanks for the advice on the photo galleries, as to the other questions,
1- i am looking at modeling,AND painting
2- minor conversions Eg. kit bashes, minor greenstuff work.

Aretak, does it matter what type of photos i upload, or do i need to post specific pic's?

The Scarecrow.

You need pictures that show your skills off well enough to convince people they should pay you for your services.

you should post pics that illustrate you finest work. Commision can definately fluctuate in price and is all contingent on your skill. Ive seen it as low as 3$ a figure and as high as 250$ a figure (that dude does fantastic work though: Bohun over on coolminiornot.com).

Best bet would probably be to set up a web site (there's tons of free services depending on your time and web design skills) and use it as a online portfolio. Doesn't need to look flashy, but you do need to show pics and look professional.

If you are serious about it, then you would be best to create a thread in swap shop advertising your services (there may even be a dedicated thread, can't remember offhand).
