I'm honestly worried about opening commissions. The amount of people with Donut Steel OCs and blatant one-trick-pony branding is staggering. I don't want to get my stuff piled on because I refused to draw a hideous abomination (I wouldn't say it like that, of course).

Of course it doesn’t look like IRL clothing, none of those houses make armor for cyberpunk onna-bugeisha schoolgirls. But if they did, it’d look like this. The artist did an excellent job of incorporating each house’s shapeways and design philosophies into a type of clothing they ordinarily don’t make.

If youre working completely traditional, get a decent scanner.
You can draw normal things if you are a lesser artist, however people will be much less willing to pay high prices for your work. People are generally less willing to pay a lot of cash for something thats already plentiful and in higher quality somewhere else. Anons meme the furry market so much because they are willing to pay absurdly hugh prices for art that really doesn't warrant the price tag because furfags are so desperate for more material to fuel their fetish.
Basically, the more niche and degenerate what you draw is, the more the buyer is willing to pay for it.
The only reason you wouldnt be able to sell at all is if you were a total beg that cant even draw a straight line from reference. But if you're that amateur, you shouldnt bother taking comms in the first place.
Also, Ive noticed that artists tend to pay other artists more than non-artists when dealing commissions.

Legitimate advice: It's all about how you advertise yourself. Find a niche that your style hits and hit it hard even if it means severely limiting what you show off.

I had a pretty okay social media where I posted a ton of different stuff. Fantasy, superheroes, mecha, different styles ranging from painted stuff to hard linework and flat color. Finally got good enough that i decided to throw out for commissions and IMMEDIATELY I got hit with a flood of bullshit. "Do you do furry stuff? Do you do NSFW? X seems overpriced can I pay Y?"

I realized I was getting attention from a ton of scattered places without any dominant "theme" or aesthetic. So I deleted everything, scrapped my account, and I'm rebuilding focusing ONLY on superheroes in linework and flat/gradiant color, which seemed to me to be my best combo (pic related). I do not show off anything in a different style or genre, or if I do it's a one-off so supers remain the obvious dominant theme. Anything I show people is curated to make me recognizable for a specific aesthetic. I haven't even got my social media rebuilt and I've already got commissions out the ass, all for the type of request I want because that's the kind of attention i attract now.

https://www.instagram.com/art_trufanov/ Take this guy. He's one of the guys I'm trying to copy for social media presence.
He's a perfect example of how to make it through style/genre branding, and he's at a very attainable skill level, too. I know plenty of you niggas are as good or better than him, and he's raking in the dosh.

We're all gonna make it, bro. I believe in all of us.

TL;DR CURATE YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA. You want clients who hire you for your aesthetic. If you have no distinct style/niche then the only thing appealing about you will be either how degenerate you're willing to go or how cheap you're willing to sell yourself.
