How much would you pay for art like this?

Heya! So I've been tossing around the idea of opening a couple of limited art commissions for CC to buy a Leaf of Vaka, and I was wondering how much you guys think this stuff would be worth? I don't want to sell my heart and soul for the item so I'm hoping not to work for chump change, but I want to make sure I wouldn't be overcharging either--seeing as 1$ in CaveCash is 100CC and all. I only plan on drawing people, as animals prove quite difficult, but I may make exceptions and I usually don't mind making simple/semi-difficult Pokémon artworks.

The art in question comes in several different styles/difficulties.

Firstly, we have the most difficult and detailed works, the full art pieces. These come in both full body (maximum work), waist-up (a little easier) and headshot (easier still).

Next, we have doodle-sketches. These are the easiest and most simple artworks I can make. They don't take too long, but they would only come in one color (of your choosing) with quick shading. I can do basically any style (fullbody, waist-up or otherwise) without charging extra unless it turns out to be a more detailed request.

Lastly we have traditional works--I find these to be pretty relaxing to make, and they aren't usually difficult, so the same goes for these as the previous style. However, using ink pens and adding color with them is a bit difficult so I might charge extra for more detailed pieces.

So, what do you guys think? Would you pay CC for this kind of art? If so, what's a good price to ask?

Oh my goodness! Thank you so much~ But... I can't just take it! Are you sure you don't want anything at all?

VERY nice artwork. You should have no problem at all finding people interested in buying. 😋 As an artist myself I'm extremely jealous of your ability to draw people.

Amazing artworks, my dear! As an artist, I have to say, I wish I could draw humans as well as you! (Haha, I only draw animals myself and even they're not as marvelous as your work).

I'm looking for a Leaf myself so I wish you luck on your search!😃
