I'd suggest that you start in tier 3, just to get a feel for art and what people might pay. If you're in high demand, up your prices.

That said, I find looking at other art shops gave me ideas as to what I wanted to say in my first post. Some key suggestions:

- Rules. This means that your customers know when to send ebs, what to do of they're not happy with it, etc.

- Charge for extras. Don't charge loads more, but a simple 2k or so for wings is perfectly fine.

- Set boundaries. Say what ideas you are comfortable doing and not, tell them that real life always comes first, make sure that they know hlw long it'll probably take.

- A snazzy pricing sheet always attracts me to art shops. Simply find a pretty stock image (be sure to credit the provider) and put filter over it. Add text with your prices on and voila! You've done it.

- Examples. Many people only buy art if they can see what the artist can make.

- Not compulsory (actually, none of these are) but having a sale when you first open your shop helps. E.g. First two customers get 50% off! or something like that. It gives people a taste for your art and may attract future customers.
