Having a "bribe" style shop is a way of letting customers pay what they think your art is worth on a case to case basis. There really is no set price. The benefits of this style is that after about 5-10 commissions you have a general feel for how much your art is worth and you can reject offers you don't like because you know you can do better and sometimes people who really love your art style will "overpay" you.

If you want me to price you though... don't take less than 50k for a headshot or 100k if you include a background. For full bodies don't take less than 300k or 400k if you include a background.

General weaknesses: You tend to go for realism, which is great btw, but to do this better try to draw with less lines and go for more contrasting shades (darker shadows/ligher highlights) to make people/characters to have a more 3D illusion. Overall lineart and coloring is still a little rough, but experimenting and practice over time and you'll fix that in no time.

Strengths: Realism! You're overall anatomy is really good and your poses are dynamic and expressive helping to tell the story of a character and give and impression of who they are. You have a good knowledge for the hair flows and of the way clothing sits on the body and the wrinkles in the fabric.
