Hello, hope you all are doing fantastic! I've been meaning to ask about the topic of commissions for awhile now and this is about as much courage as I can muster. I'm not open for business yet, but I'd like to get to that point

In terms of my profession, 3D animation, what kind of needs do clients usually have?

What is a good way to present myself to the client?

How can I add value to their project?

What sort of pitfalls are most common?

What is an appropriate fee for service?

Has there been an instance where someone couldn't deliver payment or product and how you all bounced back from setbacks.

Kinda long sorry but if any would be kind enough to look through this I would very much appreciate your insight

Thank you
