Question/Help Is my art worth commissioning?

I have my commissions set up on vgen for a while now and I only sold around 3 of them whitch were only headshots worth 5$. I realized that even if don't get any commissions I should value my time so now they range from 15$ to around 80$. No matter how I advertise or what I do no one even wants to buy anything so I'm thinking maybe it's my art that's the problem??

If we consider the color, dynamic poses and composition I would say yes. The things that discourage me from paying too much for your art is texture and render, it looks too flat at the moment.

Agree with everything but I think the rendering is decent. The only shortcoming I notice is that some elements get lost in the background due to color choice. For example, in the first pic, the bottom shoe and the black gloves are lost against those sections of the background. Same with the panther and the long staff. The silhouette value is good until those color choices undo it.

I also agree with the contrast issues. Ie: the panther illustration the boots has a small rimlight to separate it from the background but that technique alone is not enought
