#this is the pet portrait I made for an ex-coworker who moved away and decided to unfriend me on fb

I'm feeling pretty serious about doing pet/nature portrait commissions.
And I think I found a good formula to figure out prices
(length/height + width) x canvas price
- most of the time the canvas price will be $4 (because I use the value canvases we have at work)
- If a more professional canvas is selected (like the Level 1, 2, 3 Gallery Wrapped/ Back Stapled) then the canvas price will be raised. Those bitches are expensive.
UNFORTUNATELY any size larger than 18x24 would most like use the Level 1 Back Stapled canvases (to not break the customer's bank of course, we're all struggling)
THESE ARE PHYSICAL PAINTINGS so extra charge for postage will be applied after. I would do my best to use a Flat Rate Box when I could to save the customer money.
So here's what I'm thinking, and tell me if these prices seem fair.
Standard sizes:
5x7 - $48 8x10 - $72 9x12 - $84 11x14 - $100 12x16 - $112 16x20 - $144 18x24 - $168
Odd sizes:
4x4 - $32 5x5 - $40 10x10 - $80 12x12 - $96 14x14 - $112 10x20 - $120 20x20 - $160 20x24 - $176
I know I have artist friends on here so if there's any advice one could give me I would like that.
Yes, I know I need to make an actual sheet for it to show samples. In fact I have one thing for these specific commissions and here it is:
#this is the pet portrait I made for an ex-coworker who moved away and decided to unfriend me on fb#I won't do gfm for my problems because others have it worse#I'm only behind in car payments by $1250 but that's the only thing I'm behind on.#and I can't even give them a minimum payment because they want a full monthly payment ($475) for it#... I COULD stop eating...
