    YOOO your art style is amazing!! honestly i'd love to commission you sometime :]

    generally, based on the prices at which you can buy c$, some artists will use a conversion ratio of 16-19 c$ per united states dollar (or sometimes round up to 20 c$ per dollar). that being said, there's a lot of c$ in circulation and some users have it in the spades, so don't be surprised if you see people using even greater ratios ^^

    i don't really trade for pets anymore, so hopefully a more well-versed user can chime in haha

Double the amount you are asking for lol, if anything.
Usually a sketch is $10-15 depending on what kind of sketch you are offering- sketch pages are in the 30s.
A bust is $15- then the price of that bust depends on if it is a headshot or halfbody. Headshot is usually $15 for a colored sketch. Halfbody is more. But if it is fully shaded and detailed, it is usually more than $20 due to your skill level.

Paintings are more than 30 typically, way more if you include a full background. As for backgrounds in general, usually if you say something includes a background- it is a fully drawn one, not a simple gradient or colored doodle. Those cost at least 30 extra.

This is all based on seeing your skill level. From what I can tell, your prices are really low for what you are offering compared to other artists I have seen. But then again, the market is very competitive- so who knows, it might be good to have it lower than the average- but not THAT low like the way you have them priced. If you are tryna do art professionally, that is way too low. If you do ait as a hobby then sure- price it as whatever you want, but those prices are still iffy IMO.
