In a more recent comment up there towards Chocopiechan I mentioned an issue you seem to have too. I've had a look at your gallery and it is full of examples of your art. Finished pieces. A very good collection of what you can and want to do. Now, you have the experience on what kind of commissions you applied to and I have no factual data to support my claims. But I think that the amount of people on here that want to pay for furry art is quite limited. I am not saying non-existend but a small subsection. With the narrow gallery you have, the potential customer base is to small. You could make the most awesome furry images on all of deviantart and I wouldn't choose someone with your portfolio to draw my cat. Not because your art is bad, but because I don't choose an artists for something they have never done before.
Never bend yourself to the point that you don't like creating what you are creating any more, but seriously ask yourself if there is more that you can and want to do. It doesn't mean you have sacrifice your roots.
Hi, Cecilouuu, I'm glad you enjoyed the article. 
It's true that people who have grown a large audience and are "famous" get more commissions, however, that's not why I wrote this article. These are tips to help you get more commissions for you, and they work whether you have any fame or not. Tips on how to grow a larger audience would be a different article.
