It's sad to say that if you ask for payment, suddenly people will not want the picture any more. A lot of people expect you to draw for free. Never be afraid for asking for money in advance of doing a piece for somebody.
I've done three commissions so far, and each was paid in advance and they were very patient as I took my time doing the commissions. But when I put up a picture I just drew and give my paypal account for tips – I've had one tip so far (which isn't bad in so much as 'less than I expected').
My point is – if you're expecting to get paid make sure that the price is agreed upon before you start drawing, otherwise you or someone else will end up very disappointed. 🙂
Good luck!
Somehow makes me regreat a little to ask him about trading ^^ Didn't think you did commisions, to be honest, Fett.
