Hello all, once again I am asking you to evaluate my art skills, and where you would place me tier wise and price wise.
I feel I've had a "breakthrough" of sorts, before the pieces below I was experiencing quite a bit of art block, and my creativity was down in the gutters. Admittedly I was producing pieces that I wasn't entirely happy with. However, softball season ended last week, meaning I have loads more time for art. I am feeling immensely better, and I am super proud of these three pieces I have produced in the past few days.

This image was for Rivendell, originally I had used a different background but I'm quite daft and didn't realize the image belonged to a stock provider who did not want their images on HEE. So, I frankensteined the current background together. I think it still looks quite nice. This piece took 2 hours and 46 minutes

This was my half of an art trade with Hermès. I am beyond obsessed with this piece, it's probably my favorite that I've created. I'm very happy with the tack removal. This piece took 2 hours and 31 minutes

A commission piece for Noctis, I'm still not sure if I like the petals, they are removable. I'm still extremely proud of the hair, I feel I've finely found a style/method that I like. I am also quite proud of how far my color changes have come, as well as my ability to add markings. This piece took 2 hours and 40 minutes

Critique is welcome and highly encouraged.

As of now I charge;

65k for a large cut, + 10k per cut

35k for a small cut, + 5k per cut

With your response, if you could kindly give insight on where I can improve I would be immensely grateful <3

I'd say you could easily get 100k, probably also get 150k pretty easily if you're consistently making pieces at the quality of the three examples.

For things to work on, maybe making the horse match to the background lighting, I notice especially in the third one the horse feels a little bright and not blue enough for the foggy sort of lighting of the background. The positioning of the horse in the background and the way he's standing in the second one also feels a little awkward to me, the text hides that pretty well though so it's hard to tell.

I'm really struggling to find things to improve though, honestly your hair is incredible, your colour changes are incredible, your backgrounds and overall concepts are really creative and unique!

I honestly think people would be willing to pay Tier 1 prices for your pieces, however, I do believe you should stay in Tier 2 for a little while longer, as your grounding could use a little refinement. Overall, I ADORE your artwork, and love the way you do your hair!
