Wow! These are really cool! I really like your elf and the cyborg.
Just drafted this up as a brainstorm idea
The best setup would be to use Instagram as your main social media to spread your influence and brand with links back to a website where you can list your services and cost along with forms for people to fill out for their choice of commissions. Plus this would be where you would want to spell out out the terms and conditions of what you will not do and also add your payment like PayPal or something else. You can then use a link from both website and Instagram page to go back to artstation portfolio page.
I second the suggestion of Instagram as far as social media platforms go. Because it’s visual, you’ll reach the people who are looking for visual art. I follow visual artists on there so that I can find them again when I want to commission character art, and I’m sure I’m not the only one. So Instagram is a good place to connect with people.
As far as where to post commissions, I’ve seen people do that through DeviantArt before, or Ko-fi (the latter of which is not visual arts-specific, but can be used by artists of any stripe. Nate Philbrick and Svenja are a couple of artists I follow there, and the forum won’t let me post this with both links so here’s just one and I’ll add the other in a separate post).
